My Story
THIS IS MY PRECIOUS CHOCOBOY WHO CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE IN 2008. HE WAS BORN IN 1998 AND I HAD HIM FROM 2 WEEKS OLD HE DID NOT KNOW HE WAS A PUP. HE WAS FROM A LITER OF 16 AND WE BOTTLE FED HALF OF THE LITER WHEN HIS BIRTH MOM GOT SICK AND COULD NOT NURSE THEM. HIS MOM WAS MY BROTHERS AND THEY TOOK CARE OF THE OTHER HALF OF THE LITER. FROM THE MOMENT I LOOKED IN THE BOX AND SAW HIM I WAS IN LOVE AND I CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE CONNECTION HE AND I SHARED BUT AS I TYPE THIS I AM CRYING LIKE A BABY. I MISS THIS BOY SO MUCH HE WAS MY HEART AND SOUL. IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE FOR ME TO EVEN ENTER THIS CONTEST AS I FIND IT SO HARD TO LOOK AT HIS SWEET, SWEET FACE AND NOT ACHE FROM THE PAIN OF LOSING HIM. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO KNOW THIS PAIN AND UNDERSTAND SOME OF HOW I FEEL. THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO SHARE OUR STORY AND THANK YOU LIFE IS LABS FOR ALL YOU DO TO SAVE THE FUR BABIES!

My favorite pastime is
WATCHING NASCAR AND HANGING OUT WITH MY FUR BABIES AT THE POOL!

The best thing anyone's ever done for me is
KRISTIE FOR POSTING THE PICS OF MY 2 NEW FUR BABIES AND HELPING ME ADOPT THEM.

I can't live without
MY FUR BABIES AND THE MEMORIES OF THOSE WHO HAVE CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.

The naughtiest thing I've ever done is
I COULD TELL YOU BUT THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SILENCE YOU!

The funniest thing I've ever done is
TOLD THE GIRL FROM THE JEWELERY STORE WHO CALLED TO SEE HOW I LIKED THE EARRINGS MY HUSBAND GAVE ME FOR CHRISTMAS THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHO HE GAVE THE EARRINGS TO BUT IT WAS NOT ME. SHE WENT SILENT THEN STARTED STUTTERING AND TRYING TO SAY SHE MUST HAVE CALLED THE WRONG NUMBER..

My favorite place to go is
JUST HANGING OUTSIDE WITH MY FUR BABIES.

I'm completely obsessed with
LABS ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE ONES.
