  Yay! Thanks Niffles for the new thread <br><br>For those of you who will be joining this thread that don't know much about me...<br><br>I'm Coaster on the forums /Nailah in-game /Bobolu in chat. I've been playing VP for about 6-7 years I believe. I currently have <span style="font-weight:bold">TIED</span> Simm's record birthspeed of 148.3 and I <span style="font-weight:bold">AM</span> going to beat it :P I mainly make graphics and layouts but I've recently been back on the market for selling some of my greys. <br><br>I, like Simm, am a 'Young Adult'. I'll be studying Fine Art, Art Therapy and Psychology for the next few years <br>Horses are essentially my life ^.^ I have a rescued 9 year old AQH named Romeo and a 8 year old OTTB named Knip. I also have Wyatt, a german shepherd/husky who is such a spaz it's kind of ridiculous. <br>I'm really into photography and music. I play the trumpet, french horn, mellophone, and piano. I listen to ALLL kinds of music! I'll also read just about anything I can get my hands on. <br>I'm a very friendly person so don't be afraid to talk to me! ^.^

  Bwa ha ha. A better question for me is what breed of horse DONT i have. I have Roman, (my child) 2 year old Pinto, Rosie 6 year old AQHA, Blaze 13 year old mustang, Nova 4 year old OTTB. And soon ill have a western pleasure/Hunter under saddle all around performance foal on the way which im SUPER excited about. <br><br>Im more of an AQHA circuit girl myself XD Reining is my main obsession though i do also REALLY enjoy dressage. Also do (of course) all around performance and a LOT of cattle type events. <br><br>And ive also got two dogs (border collie) and a maltese/terrier cross. 2 cows (1 is preggo!!) 4 sheep (2 or 3 are preggo and due in Feb-March!!) aaand a cat. I think i covered em all XD

  <br><br>I was thinking about doing a line of grey's but then I changed my mind, that's to much catching up I have to do . Or maybe I should do them secretly like how I did my BCs. Specking of my BCs I need to get on the ball to beat 147.3 endy, which isn't that bad I've got up to 146.7 but then the game cleansed and I forgot who I bred to who to get that pup. Sigh, but I'll get back on it. And now I'm ranting lol.

  Ooh, fun thread! <br><br>I'm Zagari Wolf but you can just call me Zagari or as most do, Zag. Most people know me already but might not know that much about me since I mainly stick to myself. I'm going on my 7th year on VP! I also am a "young adult" and right now I'm heavily involved in animal rescue - mostly dogs and cats but sometimes we get a bunny or guinea pig or hamster. When I'm not helping out the rescue, you can usually find me doing something else animal related. I love dogs, more specifically, American Pit Bull Terriers. I love everything pit bull and strive to learn as much as I can about the breed. This will be my 10th year involved with them. Wow! I can't believe it has been that long. I also love reading. I like pretty much anything but I'm a sucker for a good love story. I also love historical stuff and I really enjoy learning as much about the past as I can. <br><br>I currently am owned by two APBTs (Emily (red) & Pirate (chocolate)), a little mutt dog (Bayleigh (yorkshire terrier X shih tzu)), and four fabulous felines (Destiny (seal point Siamese), Angel (brown tabby & white DLH), Oden (red tabby DLH), & Possum (black & white DLH). This year, I'm really looking forward to getting my puppy Pirate into the show ring. Some of you may have followed his thread in the pet section but I've kind of let it die. lol He's a great pup and some of his littermates are already pointed in conformation and training in weight pull as well as hog hunting. I have high hopes for him. <br><br>In game, I'm currently casually working on a line of Porcelaine dogs. Hoping for some 10x4s with the next breeding which will be the first in the game as far as I can tell. Other than that, I'm mainly focusing on eventing and training my dogs that aren't yet trained. I'm semi taking a break right now but not really. I'm attempting to not be on as much. lol

  Has anybody ever done any working dog trials before? Ive been looking into starting my border collie in them because he's from working blood and he LOVES herding things. Would be sooo nice for when my cows escape and my sheep dont want to go where i want them!
• Simm

  January 2013 122.149.9.75

  YAY.<br><br>Zag; when you get 10x4s could I please buy one? xD<br><br>Vamp; I haven't done working trials, but I've been looking into putting Rune into Agility. We have a course at the dog park that she'll happily go over, haven't tried without the lead though as most of the time there are other dogs around and she wants to run amok instead. <br><br>I'm working on Culpeo's at the moment. Friendly is stubborn so I have 1 inbred line doing that, and pups from that line I've made another line but for speed. Already up to 145s, hopefully get a few more training/breedings done tonight and have some new racers in the game! Woo!<br><br>I think I need to make a new layout.. I'm currently hooked on Karl Urban (the awesome NZ actor who is in Doom, Riddick, Dredd, Star Trek, Priest and RED - to name a few!) so .. if someone wants to make me a layout instead... haha *pokes Bobo*

  I've not done any working dog trials before but when I start making more money, I plan on taking Pirate to Schutzhund classes. I have a lot of dreams for him and I hope that I can accomplish at least some of them. There is a club about an hour and a half drive from me (where all the dog stuff is). That's quite the distance to travel each week for training which is why I'm waiting. <br><br>Of course you can buy one Simm. I was planning on asking you anyway cause I knew you'd want one.

  Development and Media for the next two years, this takes most of my time during the week, and then the weekends I spend with my fiance so my time is pretty much taken up. I used to create banners and layouts but since I do that most of the time, I don't enjoy doing it for people on here as much, so I don't offer those services as much now. <br><br>I love reading, I read like everyday, I love reading unpublished books because they can be just as good as published books. Though some of my favorite published books are: The Hunger Games, Twilight and Harry Potter, though I am looking to get into the Game of Thrones books. I am a sucker for romance books and tend to stray towards them rather than the fantasy books. <br><br> I am also a sucker for the Sims games. And have no pets of my own. Though the fiance has a dog named Wicken.

  Lmao Niffles I'd be DELIGHTED to make you a layout as soon as I get my computer back! (it's currently DEAD. Corrupted hard drive )<br>I need to practice anyways and I have a couple new styles and codes I want to experiment with ^.^ if you'd be willing to be my guinea pig then I'm totally up for doing them for free!

  Love this thread, Smithers....I mean Simm =P<br><br>I'm Lycanthrin, but everyone calls me Lyc for short. Been on VP since September 2008, right before I started college xD On VP, I've been focusing on getting a 10x4 Bloodhound since the start, but I'm stuck at 9x4 >.< However, I've been away from VP due to not having time for it and losing interest from time to time. But I'll never be gone, since this place holds way too many memories (good and bad) and I have really amazing friends here.<br><br>If everything goes well, I will be graduating from college in June =D I'm majoring in Chicana/o Studies with an emphasis on culture studies, which incorporates relatively more on literature, culture, and the arts (including artistic expression and analysis) of Chicanos and Latinos. That emphasis was more interesting than the social/policy one, which focuses on society, political economy, community, and family. Also, I'm minoring in Education Before settling down with Chicano Studies and Education, I started off in college as a Chemical Engineer, then I switch to Food Science focusing on Food Chemistry.<br><br>I never had a paying job, because I've been focusing so much on my education, internships at the elementary school, organizing/helping out the University's Spanish Club. But once I'm done with my undergraduate studies, I'm going to work on getting my teaching credentials and work as a substitute teacher for a bit, before I go off to graduate school to get my Masters degree. <br><br>As of right now, I only have one dog, Rocky. He's a miniature pinscher/daschund mix. And I have two male Robo Dwarf Hamsters, Jyrki Houdini (2.3 years old) and Ezio Carmine (1.4 years old). In the future I plan to get a Dogo Argentino, a Doberman, and either an APBT or Rottie. Ever since I was little, my dream was to show and rescue dogs.

  <br><br>Haha thanks Vamp! =D I had to get my stuff together because my family, mainly my mother kept pushing me too. Awww You should go to my school, since it started off as a "University Farm" haha And it's still pretty big on the agricultural part

  I go by Trisscar on the forums. Everyone calls me Triss. I started playing vp when it was a beta. A friend introduced me and I've been here ever since. I didn't really get serious about the game till '06' or so. I went by Windrunner for awhile but switched to Channing Mystique Kennels in '09' or so I think. I've completed several lines and have several unfinished laying around my kennels. I have a set of Love gifties I made for my boyfriend at that time. He's now my husband. my biggest giftie set would be my Dragon collection. I've made 8 Minors, 8 Majors, and 6 Fires so far. Still adding more. I own the Channing Mystique Elves. They have not reached 10x4 yet because I keep getting distracted with other breeds. I'm hoping to complete them before March though. That's all for my ingame life I think. <br><br>Outside of vp I'm a 'young adult'. I married my high school sweetheart 1 year and 5 months ago. I am owned by 2 dogs. Brandi I've had for 3 or so years now. She is a German Shepherd, I rescued her. She the sweetest, laziest, dog you'll ever meet. Skyra is a Siberian Husky. She was a birthday/Christmas present for the hubby. She completely changed my life. She's the best dog you could ask for. Doesn't need to be on a leash outside. Not many Sibes can be trusted off leash. She has a good mix of Show, Working, and Pet lines. I plan on completing her Working Pack Dog Title this year as soon as its warm enough. Hopefully she will also be able to attend a few shows. <br><br>Ever since I was little I wanted to work with dogs. First it was a kennel and then I wanted to be a part of a K9 Police Unit. Well it switched back to a kennel but one that works with German Shepherds for protection training and Police Work. Thanks to Skyra I fell in love with Sibes. So I'm starting off with Siberian Huskies and will add in the German Shepherds down the road. My goal is to have the amazing dual purpose dog. Skyra is the start of that. My kennel is Channing Mystique. <br><br>When I have enough money saved up I will be attending a college for dog training and grooming. I'll have a certificate and degree by the end of it. That's a couple years down the road though. <br><br>Vp is what I do in my spare time. I love it and don't plan on being anywhere else. It's the only online game I've ever really played. Many of you have become my family. I've spent more late nights on chat then I have had in sleepovers with my rl friends. That says something I think.

  Oh yeah I should 'introduce' myself. <br><br>I'm Clozo or Clo, can't remember what my current kennel name is but I've had a few. Don't really play in-game anymore but I lurk the forum occasionally. <br>I've been playing on and off since 2008 and really the only thing I achieved was good mushers and my collies and puli's.<br>I'm also a 'young adult' just out of high school and about to start er.. college I suppose you could call it. My course is called Animal Studies and I plan on going to vet nursing or captive animals after that. Part of that course requires that I work in a Vet, which I am, only I don't get paid which is frustrating seeing how I had to give up 2 shifts of my actual job to be able to do it <br>I'm under strict supervision by my gorgeous cat, Vera. I adopted her from a shelter just over a year ago when she was 2months old and she has matured into the perfect pet for me, A cheeky little devil with a snuggling side. I still have my dog Charlie but he lives with my mother whilst I live with my father so I don't see him too often I also have 2 new betta males, an aqua/red crowntail called Sushi and a white/red delta halfmoon named Finnegan which cost me an entire shift at work to buy but he's so worth it >.> I plan on adopting another kitten when I get more work so in about a month or two <br><br>And that's about it.. yeah

  February 2013 49.187.29.203

  Well good luck! xD<br><br>We got the worst news yesterday, literally as soon as we'd landed from Thailand, that one of my mums Arabian Pony fillies was very ill.<br>The vet called it a bacterial disease, but we are unsure what caused it. She was very very dehydrated, wouldn't drink water but continued to play in it and such. We caught the train from the airport to the vet hospital to see her, and it appeared she was improving with the drip in. But her blood was like syrup and she had a high heartrate and temperature.<br>At about 10pm last night the vet rang to ask if they could put her down.. so mum went to the vets to be with her. So a sad day for us all as we have just lost a valued member of our little horsey herd. /sobstory.

  <br><br>Mmm true. <br><br>It was amazing, so different to Australia.. and so much more organised! haha like their transport system.. Skytrains, railways, taxi's and buses. We hardly saw graffiti at all! The most common area for it was telephone booths and such, and that was only at the marketplaces that get pretty busy on weekends!<br>The Tigers were amazing, such an experience to be so close to them, not just taking photos and starring at the zoos. The Elephants were fun, we went on a half an hour trek, I knew they were slow, but it was weird that they were THAT slow.. And we got photos sitting where the Mahout normally does, and his skin! Like old, wrinkly leather that was just super tough as well, and dry. We rode past these little babies, and this little baby we went past, was super cute, and his name was Ben. haha the easiest name to remember! The shopping was just. omg. The exchange rate for AUD to THB was $30 AUD to every 1000 baht. So shirts and meals and watches and even shoes, were like, 99 baht to 300 baht, then you'd get the more expensive vendors who had a price at 300+ or something.. And although most of 'name brands' were fakes, there were still a lot of legit stores where you could buy things like bags and shoes and make up and whatever else you can think of. I bought my third pair of Converse sneakers for 1100 baht, which is equivalent to what they would cost in Australia or America anyway.<br><br>I could keep talking, but I have to wash Rune before I take her home, supposed to leave in an hour and I've gotta wash Rune, have a shower and pack my car!<br>Am going to leave Sim at my mums (and thinking of leaving L'e up here too) because I'll be back in a few weeks to live here permanently!
