Well, we certainly could had a pretty good time Saturday night!

You got brothers DD? I went to school with a guy named Jeff that looks a bit like you. He let me use an old drivers license as a fake ID, and it worked despite that fact that I outweighed him by maybe 200lbs.

[gaba]

I may have asked that before.

Just one younger brother, but he looks nothing like me (mail man's kid perhaps)

[Pagan]

Yeah, no kidding- WB Addi!!!

we got her from a rescue center,they thought she was a wolf cub and was going to kill her..but we asked a vet to look at her and he told us it was a Husky puppy ,so we took her home...best dog I have ever had..

[Pagan]

Cool- I was curious, she def looks like she's a mix of some sort.
I have two rescue wolf hybrids and they're AWESOME animals, they had a bunch of pups 6 months ago and I have kept two of the pups. We live on 8 acres so its more doable.
I'll probably wind up only being able to keep one of the pups though, theyre a handful.
