| Hi all, I'm Ali and I'm the proud mother of a two year old, three in June, Siberian husky beauty named Allie. My boyfriend and I adopted her from our local humane society after she was in a pretty terrible home and she's thriving with us now thankfully. We've had her for about a year and she's changed our lives forever. Pretty ironic/fate that we share the same name though sometimes it gets a bit confusing around the house! I just found this forum and wanted to introduce myself.  |

| Welcome! It's nice to see more folks from Illinois  I live in Florida now, but I grew up in Urbana and my parents are up near Plainfield now. Love to see more pictures of Allie, she's a beautiful girl! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Philo?
We've got another member here from Farmer City, and then a good friend of mine from school has joined the forum but has yet to post. She lives in Champaign. I joined the Navy after high school and have been out of state for 12 years now, but I'm dying to get back that way. I was visiting my parents around New Years and I took my husband down to show him Urbana. It was great to be back and I was amazed at how much the U of I campus has changed. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| That's cool! I really do miss that part of the world. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there when I graduated (I actually got in several arguments with my guidance counselor about going to college out of the state) and now I'd give anything to live back there. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| I was definitely at that point when I graduated high school too but after traveling around I see how much I do love it here! I'm definitely not a "city person." I like looking out and seeing fields and smelling the dirt when they're getting ready to plant! If I were to leave I'd move to Tennessee. It's my favorite place to be other than home. |

I need to bug her about introducing herself, so all you Central IL folks can start a meet up group or something. Coincidentally, her name is Meredith as well  _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

I would love to but at the moment we're still working on socializing her. She's still a bit sketchy about other dogs//people. |
