Well, I'm a stayat home mom who doesn't seem to be home much.  I homeschool my younges daughter and she is in 11 grade this year.  I also have 2 older sons in college.  I've been married to the same man for 39 years.  He is the love of my life.  We like animals, and probably have too many.  Of course can you really every have too many?  I make soap, candles, braid rugs, quilt, canning veggies, I consider my self a green witch and love all nature.  I hope to get to know all of you.

Nice to meet you. Glad you could join us. I also look forward to getting to know you I've heard of light/white or dark/black whitches before but never a green one. I was a wiccan for about 13 yrs myself and I am now a Mormon. 25 yrs old, married 4 yrs, 1 child not in school yet, he is 2 yrs old. I'm getting ready to join th enational guard soon and go to college when my son goes to school.

I have an outdoor cat and a maltipoo dog inside. I want to buy a house with a nice yard and outside of the city so we can have an animal sancutary. We're looking now for the right place. Wish us luck

Hi everyine.  Just joined.  So many groups it' hard to choose..lol  I have a Maltese...all white hair to the groound.  Must be brushed at least oce a day.  She is my baby girl and she is 12 yrs old and last week the vet said she is in the beginning stage of conjestive heart failure.  It;s tearing me up.  She even has her own clothes drawer with T-shirts, sweaters and toys.  I also own a 9 year old Beagle who is very loyal & a sweet heart-when she's not messing up Sasha's hair.  Look forward to getting to know you.

Hugs,

Daisy

Hello Everyone- I'm new to care2 I signed up after getting stuck signing a billion petitions after a link to one from dogster- has anyone been to dogster? I'm from Delaware and I have 4 dogs- a 9yr old mix, a 4yr old bichon poodle mix, a 1 yr old husky/APBT mix and a 8month old APBT- I also have quite a few cats (foster failure) here is a link to dogster for pictures of my "babies" as I haven't been able to download any pictures yet: www.dogster.com/?302360

Great pitbull pictures on the other post Amanda- so sad- they tried to pass BSL here a few months ago thankfully it was a vote against it 11-2!

I hope this works ok. I am far better with animals than I am with computers. I have been married for almost 16 years now.I have 2 girls 6 &7. I have 3 dogs,3 cats,2 ferretts,1 guinea pig,2 rats,4 chickens and a rooster. and oh yeah a beta fish. All of my animals have come to me in one way or another as a stray or rescue (except the beta)  Obviously I love animals. I have been working with local shelters for several years,I also do foster care for various ones(which I find to be very rewarding). I hope to some day start my own Sanctuary.  Currently I am a groomer,which I hope will finance my sanctuary. I look forward to meeting you all!!!!!

hello all! my name is sharon, and i am helping with the fight to ban foie gras in this country!! foie gras is a delicacy that is produced in one of the most horrific ways we have seen. the physical torture done to these birds (at only a few weeks old) ends in coma, death, or severe mental brain damage.

foie gras is produced by enlargening the livers of ducks & geese to roughly 10 times the size of normal. they accomplish this by sticking a metal pipe down their throats and force feeding them way too much for the bird to handle. choking on food or their own vomit is very common.

the sites that give the best info on foie gras are..
http://www.nofoiegras.org
http://www.stopforcfeeding.com

my sites are:
http://www.myspace.com/ban_foie_gras_now
(with a myspace group)
http://www.banfoiegras.blogspot.com

and i have a petition to mayor daley of chicago asking him to let the current chicago foie gras ban stand at:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/815636066

and a group dedicated to banning foie gras on the care2 network at:

http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/ban_foie_gras

i look forward to meeting all of you!!
