I am from Portland, Oregon. I am retired with a disability. I have one grown son and one grown daughter. I have 3 Silky Terriers; IttyBits, Sally and Oscar. My sister, Dennygirl, got me into watching Tai Shan when he was still unable to walk. She and I have been watching webcams ever since. We went on our fantasy trip last month, October 2007, to Atlanta's Zoo. We enjoyed ourselves so much and are SO hoping to go to San Diego in a year.
