Hi, I'm Angie. I live in Weed, Ca. with my wonderful husband David. We've been married 19 years and have 4 children, (2 girls,2 boys) by law (ages 11,15,17&18) and about a half dozen at any given time of 'extras' that we feed daily. Hubby swears I'll feed anything that holds still long enough and I guess that's true enough. Not sure where they all come from, but I've always had a tendency towards taking in strays rather they be people in need of a warm meal or a place to stay or animals in need. We've had a variety of interesting pets over the years and at present have Shiloh, our beloved rattie (had her first birthday but because she was a rescue, abandoned in a Walmart parkinglot of all places! I can only guess that she must have been born around Thanksgiving a year ago) Cinder, our old blind tom cat and Icky, Shiloh's kitty. We also have 3 lizards, 2 goldfish, a tree frog, a large mouthed bass named Buddy (in a pond, not in the house, thankfully!) a toad and a Guinea pig named Pete. Ours is a crazy, busy lifestyle full of goofy activities aimed mostly at keeping a horde of teenagers inspired and out of trouble! Hubby owns a computer business that he runs out of our home. A year ago, I quit 2 very stressful jobs and now stay at home answering phones and helping with the business where I can and doing an awfully alot of chores!... In my off time, I've managed to write three historical-fiction novels, 2 of which I've been trying to get published. I'm a research fanatic and seem to spend every spare moment trying to learn something new. I'm a bit of a history buff as well and simply love the written word! I just joined Rt in April and have had a ball meeting the wonderful folks here on RT and learning their stories.

Hey, when they get published I want them!!  I LOVE reading and Historical-fiction is one of my favorite Genre's

Ooh I love this post!  I like being able to put names with faces!

I'm Danielle.  I'm 22 and I live in Indiana, about an hour from Chicago.

I graduated college with a degree in Accounting, but I work for my dad's business ( a machine shop) doing his A/R, A/P, payroll, etc. 

I got married about 10 months ago to my hubby, who is from South Africa.  We met randomly when he was in the US working, and fell in love...got married 9 months later. 

For now, no kiddies yet, just Daphne, our RT/Chihuahua mix.  She's enough though, she's got more energy than the 2 of us combined!

Hey All!
My name is Layne, I'm 22. My husband, Ken, and I are the parents of George (10 weeks) and live in Provo, Utah.
I work for a company called Four Chairs, where we sell unfinished furniture, so if you're ever in the area, stop by!
I have never owned a rat terrier (or even actually heard of them until recently) but did grow up taking care of a basenji for 13 years.
I do dog walking as a side business and it is actually pretty successful!
Hope to get George some brothers and sisters soon (not human hopefully, I think I'm still too young for that!).
We LOVE to travel!! We just got back from a trip to Egypt and Jordan and it was amazing!!! Definitely the best place I've been so far.
Can't wait to become better friends with you all! Take care!

XOXO

Hi just wanted to join the site, I love it and love love love our little rat terrier "Trixie"  I think she is the best little (only one I've ever had) dog.  She is 10 mths old now and we adopted her at  2mths.  She was a surprise for my daughters 10 year birthday and they are inseprable.  Such a great personallity she has even my "big dog loving" husband adores her and scratches and pets her on his lap .

We live in Northern Ohio on a farm, Trixie has 3 kids Jody 10, Erica 13 and Blake 7 (her tormenter), but she deals well with him.

Does anyone else have a Rattie that smiles all the time?
