After all of the support, sympathy and help you all have given me the past several days I thought I'd pop in here and actually introduce myself.
*ahem* My name is William Clay Hamilton, but I go by Clay. I'm 38 years old and live in Chenango Forks, New York, and I work at a hospital here doing technical support. I'm married and have been with my wife since we were in high school, which is going on 21 years. We have an 18-year old son who's about to start his third semester of college. We've always had animals. We have two lab huskies (we call them purebred Huskadors) named Miya and Takoda, and until this past Sunday we had a Doberman/Shepard/?? mix named Winston (RIP). We also have two black cats named Angel and Nala, but they literally are so identical looking that you can't tell them apart. In our spare time my wife and I are avid video game players and we like to watch movies and are avid readers. I also play a bit of bass guitar and fancy myself to be an amateur photographer... I'm also a huge military aviation nerd; my wife and I took a weekend trip to Washington DC in May to see The Blue Angels. Here's a picture of us that was taken last year at Disneyland. And here's a sample of some of the pictures I took at the airshow in May:: |

Thank you for getting this started, Clay. I'm Gretta's mom, Jeanne, and I live in Saint Paul, MN. Today is the two-week anniversary of my taking my sweet girl to the vet school hospital, never to return. I'm the factotum for the president of a small manufacturing company. Which means something like the old cereal commercial "Give it to Mikey!" Actually I DO like my job. It gives me a lot of freedom to work all over the company - trying to apply new learning and do thing better. I'm only a few years from retirement - for whatever that means. Bobbie, who also posts in this forum is my sister. She taught me everything I know about living with and loving dogs. I moved to a huge, old fourplex specifically so I could have a dog. Gretta is my only "dog master" as an adult. She was a rescue at age 9. She adopted me at an adoption event and we were inseparable for three and a half years. She came to me for a reason - to teach me some things that I'm not even sure what they are. And now she's decided that the bird has to be pushed out of the nest and go solo. SO she got on the bus and left (not literally, of course). I firmly believe in the next life. And it could only be heaven if all our loving animal friends were there with us.
Sorry for rambling on. Gretta's mom, Jeanne |
