Title: Hello everyone
Post by: Vincent E.S. on August 15, 2011, 02:13:14 PM
Hello. I am new to being registered to these forums, but I've been stalking the threads for about half a year. :P I would have been registered a few weeks ago, but my email was being stupid and wouldn't let me activate the account.

I came out to my parents as an FTM three weeks ago today. So far, they're still processing things, but seem supportive. My new name will be Vincent.

um... I'm still in high school... I like dogs... I don't know what else to say here.

But, hello everyone!

Hi Vincent, you beautiful dog lover! I have a Yellow Lab, awhile ago I had three, but that's how it goes with dogs. They age so quickly. I'm glad you stopped lurking and joined us, hugs, Tracey

Ah! I love labs! What's your dog's name?
I currently have three dogs. They're spoiled rotten and shed like crazy. :)

His name is Clark, I had to put his buddy Lewis down last fall. I like history, and had to go for Lewis & Clark. The shedding here has hit epic proportions at times!

Welcome. I was a long-time lurker myself. Felt like a little bit of an internet home... I have coonhounds myself. Just a wee bit louder than a lab. Nice to have you here.

Even though this thread isn't a very important one, it makes me feel happy that a bunch of people have responded to it! ;D
For anyone who's wondering:
I have a blue merle Aussie mix named Antigone,
a Border Collie mix named Petruso,
and an American Eskimo named Jakarta.
:D

I love it. My family is big on science, so our last dog was named Newton after Isaac Newton.
We have to shave two of our dogs every summer or they get too hot and our air conditioner gets clogged with the hair. :/

Hai. As I now officially ask every new member this question, how do you feel about funyuns?

YinYanga: Yup, everything is interconnected in some way. Nature follows patterns even if we can't really see them.

RoadToTrista: Haha, it's good to have an official question to ask everyone! I'm not a big fan of funyuns. I prefer raw vegetables to that kind of stuff anyway, 'cause I'm weird. :P
