Getting To Know Each Other, talk about yourself Options

[Brutus]

I thought this thread might be fun. Tell about yourself..whatever you feel comfortable posting on the web.

I am 29..11 years in a row now...no need for a calculator..lol. I am an Air Traffic Controller, my husband is as well but we are at different airports about 70 miles apart. I've been doing this job for 11 years now..only 9 1/2 until retirement! I've been married for 14 1/2 years and we met in college..hubbies name is Doug. We have no children of the human kind. We tried but I couldn't carry, I think that's one reason we are so close to our animals..they are my life. We love to be outdoors...camping, boating, fishing, bow hunting, snow skiing. I also like to tie flies, bowl, read, play piano (which I am not good at).

We have a weekend house that we go to on our days off...we are lucky we have basically the same schedule..it is near a lake..in the summer thats where we are as much as possible.

I am from Pittsburgh, PA..we moved to MI about 12 years ago. All my family is in PA and NC...so just me and the hubby up here.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If you go to my profile there is a pic of me and Doug..It's nice to put a face with the name.

Anyhow I'd love to hear about you...and see a pic too if you've got one!

Thats quite an achievement there Sonya. What lovely plumage she has.Love the cute tufty bit on her head.
The photos of Brutus and Radar are lovely. You're just like me. I spent days going through photo's scanning them into Pc , laughing, crying. But sharing them on here really did help me.

The weather has really turned here now. Think we are in for the big freeze and then snow by Wednesday.I would think you will know all about snow where you are. What are your temps at the moment. We're around zero just now. Going sub zero tonight, bbbrrrr!! My girls would love it, bless them.They used to just sit outside covered in snow, ha. We used to try to get them in, but they just sat out there for ages. The breed originates from Siberia, they got their name from the Samoyede peoples. The dogs used to sleep in the tents with them and were sort of used as blankets. Used to snuggle up with their dogs to keep warm . I read in an article about them and it said that the Samoyede men rated their Sammies higher status than their wives. Ha.
But that is how the breed got to be so friendly, as they had so much contact with the whole family.In general they are very good with children. They also make good sled dogs and quite good at rounding up the reindeer too.Quite handy to have if you happen to be a nomad in Siberia. Their hair can also be spun into beautiful samoyed 'wool' and can be used to knit very warm clothing. Can you just see me sitting at my spinning wheel, lol. No I 'm not the knitting type , but I have seen some great jumpers, cardigans etc that enthusiasts have made .
Got a bit carried away there, now you know all about the history of the samoyed , ha.
Keep posting the pics Sonya.
Love Jan x
