STAN (Registered name: Lady Sheeba Saphire Sadie)

I First Met Her: At an old farmhouse, referred to her owners by the local Humane Society.
She is a Native of: Lake City, Michigan
Her Favorite Hobby: Sleeping, eating, annoying the cat.
She Absolutely LOVES: Food! Her Daddy!
Profession: Life Saver - she just knows when DH is having issues with his diabetes....she's actually saved his life a couple of times.
My Favorite Thing to Do With Her: "Floppitas". Rubbing the sides of her face under her ears so they flop up and down. She just loves it.
My Favorite Memory: The day we were all rollerblading together and they decided to go for a swim!
I hit the beach on my blades and ended up face first in the sand.
They went swimming! :ROTF:
What We Have in Common: We're both chubby
and we both love to eat.
How We Differ the Most: She HATES snow!
They're old enough now that they're having a good day if I don't have to carry them up the stairs. I'm dreading the day - 13 years of loving them is just too short a time.
