Those of you that have been around a while may recognize me, and may or may not have noticed that I haven't posted in about 6 months.

I'll give the short short version and just say that my life really was hell for a while. Things are more or less returning to normal, so I hope I'll be around more often.

I have peeked in from time to time, and kept up on such issues as S373. I was unable to be nearly as active fighting this as I was HR669, but I have made some phone calls, sent some emails, etc., and I'll keep doing what I can!

I was expecting this season to be our first breeding season, but sadly my husband and I decided we just didn't have the time & energy with everything else that was going on. So I guess we'll be starting things off next year with a bang, because we will have lots of big girls by then. I am thankful I still have my collection, so I'm trying not to be too upset about missing out on breeding this year.

I've been lurking quite a bit over the past week or two, and it has hit me how much I've REALLY missed this place; I just couldn't resist posting any longer!
