God, I sound so young and innocent.
I was 15-16? when I joined. I've been out of high school for 3 years now. Around graduation time I started working for a dog show handler, a boarding kennel and a grooming salon, all at the same time

Why I decided that was a good idea I'll never know. I have however gotten a little more sense and I don't work 3 jobs. lol I just work in retail which is almost as bad!
I was in college for about 3 semesters before a couple of family emergencies had me hopping all over the east coast of the US. I was going for a degree in Animal Science then onto Vet School. I have almost all my requirements done so maybe within the next few years I'll go back and finish my degree.
Moose passed away my senior year of high school from intestinal cancer. I still have Kratos. He just turned 7 last month. I didn't really intend to get Jinx and Isis, or their angelic siblings but sometimes things just happen. We thought we were adopting two Boxers after the mother was abandoned on the street then we some how got suckered into taking all 4 pups as the people that had them weren't getting others to adopt. Maserati and Axle were the two we were originally going to get then Isis and Jinx somehow slide their way in. After I put the training in, Maserati was actually adopted out to another family instead.
I didn't ever get my other Mastiff. Jinx and Isis have made it harder to get another dog so I think when they pass I'll look into it. But Moose's death, even though it was 3 years ago, has been a hole in my heart that hasn't healed. I may love Jinx, Isis and Kratos but they're not Moose.
It's amazing what can happen in just 6 years, huh?
