I now have just 3 dogs here. My ancient Beagle (Missey), my avatar for many years, left this world in April 2014, at the tender age of 18. My beautiful Yellow Lab, Chance, left on 1-28-2016, due to severe issues with Lumbar Spondylosis. Still have a Mini-Doxie/Yorkie Mix (Dusty), a rough-coated Mini-Doxie/Terrier mix (Inky), and a 6-pound purebred rescued Yorkie (Manny). All of my original rescue kitties are now gone; the last three left in late November 2014 -- they were 24 years old, and the last of the original clan of 14 kitties. In December 2013, my vet blessed me with a big, black kitty named Cougar; now 7+ years old, neutered, vaxed, and chipped, but can't be adopted out because he's FIV-positive. It took 8 months for him to adjust to being a house cat, and he's turned out to be a really good boy. In late December 2014, I was handed another kitty, after the owner passed away suddenly. 14+ years old, morbidly obese, and spoiled rotten. She immediately went on a diet, and is now several pounds smaller in size; she gets 1/2 cup of food every evening. She gets along fine now with Cougar, and surprisingly, with the dogs -- she had never seen a dog until she came to me. She's a very sweet kitty, and her name is FatAss. *grin*

And of course, the ever-present laptop, or two, plus whatever walks in the door to be fixed. ;-)

my age:

Plenty old enough to know better, but I still like to have fun!!! The saving grace is that nobody believes that I really am this "old" -- good genes!

my computer:

My current system is a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop; CORE i5, 64-bit, 8G Ram, 500G HDD -- and about to upgrade to a SSD drive. It runs like a scared rabbit, and will run a whole lot faster when I get the new SSD installed in it. I purchased this laptop from smw315, after my beautiful ASUS laptop finally died after running non-stop for 9 years.

favourite websites:

DSLReports.com!!! I'm also a weather junkie, so wunderground.com is another favorite. DogoftheDay.com is also another favorite.

On TV I'm watching..:

I gave up on cable TV due to the expense. Bought a Roku box and hooked it up to the TV, and now stream everything. I'm an avid fan of good cop shows and regularly retire to the couch with my critters, for a lovely round of watching the tube! *grin*

About my Avatar/Username:

My original avatar was Missey, my beloved Beagle; she left in April of 2014, and she was my "heart" dog! All Beagle, including her nose, and she was very special to me. I chose to replace my avatar with The Rat Patrol and Chance; since Chance left a few years ago, I now use The Rat Patrol as my avatar, as they are now my only dogs. :-)

Ran Seti@home for almost two years on my own. I was checking in at the team site, received an invitation from three members, so I joined!

BBR Team Helix profile

Why did I join?:

To provide more computer cycles, so that maybe, just maybe, we'll find a cure for some of these ailments that take lives too early. I'm doing this for my mother, who died of complications of diabetes, for Rocky, my Rottweiler, who died in March '01, of liver cancer, and now for Chance, who died in Jan '16 due to severe health issues from Lumbar Spondylosis.
