Hello. I am new to being registered to these forums, but I've been stalking the threads for about half a year. 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!

Hello Vincent, and welcome to Susan's! We're a diverse and friendly bunch here (the head count is nearly 8000) - get into things as slowly or as quickly as you feel comfortable, I'm sure you'll find plenty of support here. Glad to hear your parents are being supportive - and I'm sure your dog-liking will win friends and influence people here .

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

Welcome to Susan's, Vincent. Congrats to you on coming out.                                                                                                                         Gennee

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 or should i say welcome back since youve been on for a while youve probably read a few posts round here. im newish here but im as much as home here as i ever was anywhere. so enjoy the rants, stories and odd joke that may be posted on the goldmine that is susans :-D

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!
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.

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. :/

Your new name will be Vincent....just like I decided to slowly get away from it

Even names are a flow of life ^^

Welcome to Susans

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.
