Hi there and thanks for stopping by at my space. Well lets see, about me, well I live in Oregon, born raised here have never lived anywhere else. I enjoy the climate during the summer and fall but find I get really tired of the rain during the winter and spring months, but hey it keeps Oregon green.I graduated Marshall High School in 1986 then went on to a local community college in search for a Bachelors Degree in Secondary English Education and Journalism. In 1987 I met the man who would be my husband for the next 16 years and decided school just was not for me. So I began working full time for a local bank, moved out on my own, began dating my husband and enjoyed life.In 1989 we got married and I went back to school to get certification to become a Paramedic. I worked as an EMT for about 4 years and after a couple of back injuries, the last one being a bit serious, I decided to leave the field rather than take a chance on injuring myself further, so I returned to the thrilling job of banking.My husband became ill in 2001 and passed away in December of 2004, so I guess Im on my own now. Having gotten over that, I have decided that I still would like to live my life with someone special. What doesnt kill us only makes us stronger, thats what I tend to believe.I love animals, all kinds but particularly, dogs and more specifically, PUGS. They are 24 hour comedy acts and Mozart who is my dog, part Pug and part Welsh Corgi, keeps me busy and on my toes. I just love the little dogs, so much that I thought boy it would be great to have a place where I could share not only myself but Pugs in general.
