Let's Introduce Ourselves Options

[wchamilton]

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::

Hello everyone, I'm Zoe, I'm 30 and I write from Italy.

I had the luck to grow up in a family of animal lovers and I've always been blessed with at least a pet at my side. Naturally I've also lost many pets over the years and found ways to cope: talking, writing and painting mostly.
But recently I experienced the loss of a very ill kitten I had found just a couple of days prior and that shook me more than I thought was possible, the injustice of it more than anything else. I started to look online for comfort, to understand my feelings and I came across this website, I read several posts, especially one about another kitten that left this world too soon and I felt less alone, I knew I had found a special place.

So here I am, happy to meet you all.
