I want a dog!!! I had a Yellow Lab, named Thumper, but we had to put her to sleep a few years ago.She was 14 years old and had many medical problems. It was for the best, but the hardest thing I ever had to do. She was a rescue also, only a few weeks old when we got her, I was only 13.
Good Morning All
Hi Everyone!
I have hardly had time to "lurk" much less post! I checked the summaries and skimmed a bit. Some of the posts were multi tissues - some from tears and others from hilarity. And, of course, a lot just a bunch of FUN!
I must say you are all the most amazing group of people I've ever had the honor/pleasure to "know" - the sense of community - both with laughter, generousity, and caring is awesome. We are so diverse - from all over the U.S & abroad - all ages, backgrounds, et al yet what a connnection. Must be all the Pixie Dust!!
I am so looking forward to joining in this "community" more frequently - you are just so much fun!
BTW - we have had our lovely new(rescued) dog Annie one week today - I hope I did this right it's my first attempt at adding a picture!!
Happy B'day to everyone I missed - Get Well to everyone that is sick - I've added a whole bunch of you to my prayer list -
Hugs! My time is up again!

This stuff is going to be really old, BUT. . .
What monsters? I'm proud of the new skills you have! But I've decided to not multi-quote too much. My post count is way too low to be conserving numbers that way.
So it took way too long, but I'm actually caught up on the reading, I just need to ketchup on my posting. If I wasn't honestly such a compulsive person, I would just post as I read something. But I'm afraid my question or comment will be answered in the next page so I want to wait until I've read them all. Then by the time I finish reading, I have to go to sleep to be able to get up for work the next day. Aigh! So Finally I'm caught up before midnight.
So I've really enjoyed seeing everyone's pictures and reading everyone's personal stories and I realized that I need to start talking about myself and posting my own pictures or this whole "getting to know people" phase will be a little one-sided. But I didn't want to post a picture of me by myself, so I added a picture of my entire family to my siggie. This is me, my parents, my sister and her family, and my brother and his family on our cruise in January. (Let me tell you how jealous they are about this repo cruise!!)
Alright, this is the first of many for tonight!
(must stop lurking, must stop lurking, must stop lurking)
Good morning all! 
Check back in again after I get DD off to school!
Thanks, here's two more in the series. I can't wait to get back there
