I own SportyDog.com and GlamourDog.com

Someone asked somewhere on here or another forum if the SLK was a chick car. My other car is an H2, but in my case the H2 is much more of a chick car than the SLK, I love having my SLK now.

This is my H2 I'm gonna make it blue soon and rewrap it with sportydog.com on it but i've been driving it like this for 3 years. I have to get in and out of it as fast as possible without being seen.

I would love to see some of your work. What kind of machine do you work on? What 3d Apps are you on? very cool man. I'm a fan.

Hey "Dog" that's a nice Hummer, I wouldn't be embarrassed to drive that and my 4-legged girl Lexi would love it. I checked out your site and my wife will probably be ordering for our "princess" in the near future.

Well, I'm one the guys who piss off the Air Traffic Controllers, an Army Helicopter Pilot. We have to practice instrument approaches which clogs up the airways with our slow moving machines and we request all kinds of crazy things getting in and out of busy airports. I've been primarily flying OH-58 A, C and Ds but am currently flying Hueys again performing an Observer Controller roll at a training center in Germany since returning from the sandbox. Will be retiring next year and plan on heading down under pursuing either flight or IT lines.

I've seen lexi's pics on the top of the forum, I always stop at them, she's a lahsa right? she's adoreable! I have two maltese, they are my babies till I break down and have real kids. they love the SLK, haha. They are on the front page of sportydog.com I took that pic of them at my folks house during the superbowl. Not sure if it's just daddy's pride or not but I put it on the front page of my website. LOL

Well, . . .I'm in the E.O.D. business, . . .probably the senior bomb tech in the area at this point in time. Might retire in a couple of years however.

Incase you haven't heard, . . .If you see an E.O.D. guy running (in the opposite direction from an I.E.D.), . . .try to keep up!

I don't know...my wife and I opted for dogs (although we don't have any at the moment). They cost just as much AND talk back. Difference is, they're pretty much obidient from the get-go and you don't have to wait 18+ yrs for the return on your money.

Ok so right now Im a full Time Student In Pyschology preparing for law school. But my Day jobs and Hobbies that I tried to get paid for include

Main Job: Credit Repair (family Business) www.debtbusters911.com Basically we can get negatives off ur report LEGALLY, with actually very little effort. From just cleanin it up to total overhaul its one flat price, Anyone in the U.S we can do. If ur interested or want to know more PM me, u would be surprised what the consumer laws give you the right and opportunity to do. I know it sounds fishy but its not, and a good basis for me to go get my law degree.

Concert Sound Engineer/ Monitor man, (80,000 watt stereo systems woot!)
Paving drivings which is decent cash in pocket.

Other school activities -
Trying to get my MCSE and cisqo certifications - help bill T!
Studying for my Muncipal Training Act 120 Certification - Help Scott
and taking lessons For Pilots License - Help all?

So im pretty busy

Close she is actually a Shih Tzu but she thinks she is human. I think I work to pay the mortgage on her house that she lets me live in.
