Anybody who's ever been in my office knows about the love I have for my dog. Ikey's the greatest guy in the world! There's a funny story about the way we met though...

I used to have 2 Chinese Shar-Pei dogs, those are the wrinkley ones. I have pictures of the girls in my office too. Sunny died very young, 7 years old. Inky, who came on a plane from Louisiana when she was only 7 weeks olds lasted a lot longer! She was so laid back and people used to call her "wiggle-butt," because she was so friendly. She died at the age of 10 from kidney failure, but not after I tried everything for a good 3 months! My vet came to my house so Inky could go at home! How's that for a caring vet?

After about 6 weeks, I became very lonely without a dog and started checking out Petfinder.com. I wanted an older dog so I didn't have to housebreak a puppy. I kept putting in MN and shar-pei in it's search engine, well, low and behold, this pit-bull/shar-pei mix was the first hit every time!!! He had the stupidest looking picture with this silly grin! I think he was the first hit for at least 25 times! Finally I called the rescue organization that had him and asked if his personality was like his smile. We met and the rest is history- We adopted each other!

And, that is how I met my man on the Internet! Now you know that there's more to me than just giving TABE tests!!!
