I love my 2 Tortoises Mr. RT the male Russian Tortoise and Echo the little female Russian Tortoise. I love to watch my 2 Goldfish, Tank and Calico swim about. They do need a bigger tank to swim in...did you know that goldfish gets up to be 12 inches in length? I also have 2 dogs, a mini dapple dauchshound named Minnie and a black lab/german shepard named Nello. ( he is a bruiser and he loves to be loved. Got him from the local dog pound. Adopt a pet is the way to go....give them critters some nice love and a good home....after all they do rely on us.

I have alot of hobbies which includes weather watching, diggin the snow scene, Star Trek ( love them Klingons ).

I live on Camano Island,WA. with my husband. I have two teenaged children. My 19 year old daughter is now in college. My 16 year old son is in high school and he is doing really well.

Hope you all have a great year.....
