Re: Introduce yourself!
I have a chihuahua who is quiet and gentle. I'm hoping to get her through the SPCA classes so that she can be a therapy dog. She goes with me to CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training and has remained calm. I adopted her in February She loves her walks in the park or along shady streets. I'm looking for others to join us on our evening and weekend walks. I live in the south area.
I am semi-retired and love to take Tinkerbell with me on my errands. She is great in her stroller. We walked the Jazz festival from the convention center to Old Sac and back (she rode most of the way back in her stroller). We take our time and explore together.

1. Tell us about your pets! How many do you have?
2. Where are you from?
3. How did you hear about SacPaws.com?
4. How did you pick your username?
I have a yellow lab names Sadie. Just her. I would love more but i already put in so much time with sadie and its been quite rewarding. I dont think i could commit to another pet right now. Sadie is wonderful. I completely trained her myself and feel quite confident she could stand up with those dogs that have went to professional obeidiance classes. So needless to say, im quite proud of her. People we meet with dogs always ask where i had her trained. they dont believe that its just me. I actually am considering a career change into dog training.
I was born in Stockton, Ca and moved to Sonora, then To Grass Valley, to Sacramento. I have lived in Sacramento since 1997. I love it here, besides the traffic its a pretty nice place to work, play, and live.
I Heard about Sacpaws from my girlfriend. i used it before but never logged on again and forgot the account name. So i opened this one. I think someone at work told my girlfriend about it. I rarely chat or use these types of sites. ive had a myspace account for years and friends say i never respond to them. I Get into these things then lose intrest. but usually will come back off and on.
The user name is Sadie and her middle and last name initials. I named her Sadie, and somehow we ended up calling her Sadie Sue. She has lots of name. My GF calls her Sadle Buckets. i asked her why and she said i dont know, then laughed and said, cause shes buckets of joy.
My last name is Ward, so Sadie Sue Ward-SadieSW, Real Original username Huh...lol

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi,
I'm new to SacPaws message board. I am an animal lover! Our family lives with 5 furry friends. Ginger, long haired German Shepard, Bear, a mut, Tiger, the matriarch and eldest cat, Polly, our youngest cat and Sadie, our loveable bunny.
I found the SacPaws message board when I was looking for bunny sites. I thought it would be fun to chat with other animal lovers in the area.

Re: Introduce yourself!
1. Tell us about your pets! How many do you have? We have two dogs (Shasta and Forrest), one kattan* (Butterscotch) and a bunch of fishes.
2. Where are you from? I'm from the Sacramento area and my wife is from South Lake Tahoe. All of our pets are from Tahoe, and came to us either via friends, shelter, or family.
3. How did you hear about SacPaws.com? I came upon it via sacbee.com
4. How did you pick your username? It is kind of a joke with my wife and I that we must love dog hair because there is so much in our house and car. So doghairlovah seemed appropriate
.
Enjoy your furry, or not so furry, friends!

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi, we live in Sacramento, Barkley, Marty and myself are all born here and my husband is from Colorado. Barkley is a 4yr old black lab and Marty is a 3 yr old retriever and basset mix. My husband and I are both animal lovers and our two boys are like our children. We also have human children and grandchildren, and we all are just one big happy family. My son has Barkley's birth parents, Paddington and Gracie, But we are waiting until Barkley gets alittle older to tell him he is adopted. We are not sure who Marty's birth parents are and we have not told him yet either. Anyway we think our boys are very special and so very smart. Oh yeah they are also quite handsome too...............!

Re: Introduce yourself!
1) I have a mixed breed 25 lb-er named Ginger (reddish brown, of course). She (unlike some mutts, no offense) could be her own breed standard. She's beautifully conformed, short-haired with a happy tail arching over her back.
I also have 2 cats. Maria is from the pound 10 years ago and Tony was brought in to school with his litter-mates from a barncat 7 years ago. I also care for an ex-neighbor's discarded outdoor kitty, Mama Cat. (Now Spayed)
I have 2 house rabbits, Sugar bun and Pepper. Sugar is a beautiful French Angora. He was a stray(!) about 5 years ago. I only intended to keep him for the weekend, until the pound opened up. But after I spending hours first trying to detangle his hair, then giving up and cutting it off, we had bonded. Pepper was rescued from a backyard hutch about 3 years ago. She's a large brown short-haired bunny.
2) originally from NY, Woodlander for 20 years
4) Count 'em up! With myself and my 16 year-old daughter there's 8 in my zoo! ( I don't count the 3 goldfish)

Re: Introduce yourself!
Dusty our 8yr old beagle lives a great life lounging on 2 large pillow beds, 1 in the mstr bedroom and the other in the living room. She can tell time. At 6:30am she patiently sits on the side of her parent's bed waiting for her mom or dad to wake up and take her out for her morning walk then a breakfast treat. At 5pm she bays/howls & scratches the back door to let her human brothers know that its dinner time and finally at 9:45pm with her nose on the front door, she waits patiently for someone to take her out for her evening walk before heading to bed. Oh and on Mondays and Thursday, Dusty is my personal administrator when I work from home. She sits in her "admin" chair at her computer table and let's me know when the phone rings and she barks at the neighbors when they interrupt my conference call meetings. Wednesdays, Dusty get her weekly car ride to Aunty Iva's house to play and visit with her "cousins" Bear (10yr old chow mix) and Buddy (yellow lab pup). Dusty is my little "duh-duh".
I've heard of SacPaws thru various festivals and the Sac Bee news paper.
Moved to the Sacramento area 10 yrs ago with Akamai, my border collie/retriever mix due to a job transfer. Akamai since passed away 2yrs ago at 13yrs old.
Akamai means smart in Hawaiian. U-So "Akamai" ![]()
I've always loved having a dog. Akamai was the best dog I've ever had and of course I love my Dusty too.

We now have 1 standard poodle-Barkley. Adopted our first one from the shelter in Orlando, Fl in 1977 & have been standard poodle fans ever since. They're so smart & love to play in the snow, swim, & generally are a great breed.
We live near Elk Grove. Have been here several years.
Heard about Sac Paws in the Bee.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi I'm originally from Sacramento, living in Arizona now, my ex-girlfriend told me about this site. We have 2 Boston Terriers and a full-bloodied Rottweiler.
She said something about a dog park in Natomas, that has a Boston Terrier meet up spot on Sundays. If someone could point me in the direction of that, It would aid me in trying to relocate us back to Sac-Town
Thanks

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hello Sawpawers,
We adopted our puppy mix in March 2009 and she is now 6 months and getting very big.
Her name is Belle and she is a german shepherd/ chow chow mix and very cute and lovable. She is a spoiled puppy and very loved. I would love to meet other people who have the same mix or even large breed dogs and play groups.
