just thought i would introduce myself - though i know many members already from the other dog forums and dobe forums, etc --
im kim, and im a vet student who will be graduating next may if all goes well
im involved in animal rescue and some of you may know me from the rat rescue kim's ark.
personally, i own two dogs right now.
Bowie (bowie's modern love, RN, CGC, SND) is my rescued male doberman. he is approximately 7.5 years old now, black and tan with natural ears. i adopted him over 4 years ago, and we've come a long way. he is currently living with dilated cardiomyopathy, cancer (fibrosarcoma) and a herniated disk in his neck, but still going strong! he is actively competing in traditional and rally obedience, but we have given up tracking and weigh pull due to his health. hes a marvelous dog and simply the best
(excuse the water, he just got dunked since it was 100 degrees out!)
My other dog is mya, a hound mix (your guess is as good as mine!). She came from a local shelter after being passed around and not being adopted - she came to my school for the third year vet student spay program, at which time we diagnosed her with a heart condition. they didnt think she would survive the spay, much less be adopted, so i took her as a "hospice" case - shes become a wonderful perfect dog, very sensitive and smart in her own way! shes had some training but we stopped before we got her to agility, her true love - because shes currently in congestive heart failure (though she doesnt know it!).
