Lynn's Story
Life
My Spouse
I met Pat in Norfolk Virginia. He was out with his friends, as was I. I was going through a rough time in my life - was separated from my first husband, my dad had just died - and my life was pretty miserable. The absolute last thing I wanted in my life was another man. My friends had pestered me to get out and put a little fun in my life, but I really didn't want to go and almost canceled at the last minute. Boy, am I glad I didn't!!

Baxter - chihuahua - 4 year old
Annie - chiwinnie (cross between chihuahua and dachshund)
