mydiamond Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 We are all dog lovers here, but what's your passion beside canines? My number one answer would definitely be horses. Ever since I was a kid, every time there's what we call a "horse-riding man" (which are horse owners offering people to ride their horse for a short lap for money. They're usually found in tourist attraction sites) I'd beg my parents to hop on one of the horses. I don't like ponies or miniatures though... I like tall, big, strong horses recently I went to China and found this horse-riding arena. So I hopped on a horse and, for the first time ever, ran full-speed with it. I'll be honest with you it was scary for a first-timer it felt like riding a roller coaster with four legs! But it was FUN tl;dr: I horses. If life allows I might adopt one in the future. I don't know too much about them though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Birds. I've only owned one in my life (a green/yellow budgie named Pepi), but he was the greatest little guy ever. I do want another one, but I am 95% sure Suka would eat it. I took horse riding lessons years ago (english). I was just learning how to jump, when I almost fell off and could have broken my neck. Never ridden since then, but I still love horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterchillz Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 However weird it may sound - cats I like cats because they remind me of huskies' stubbornness and character. Just as independent and nuts at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markulous Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Photography. Luckily it's both of us, so whilst we photo anything and everything (dragonflies, horse shows/trials/racing/trotting races, landscapes, motor racing, fashion, etc) we love nothing more than taking pics of all the wonderfully photogenic dogs on walks, races, off-leads, etc (all proceeds go to the rescue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig's just a bit of fun (and needs updating - replacing one foster with another but waiting to get a suitable shot) This is more what we're about, from a very recent, somewhat muddy(!), off-lead session: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Programming (creating programs and websites), designing (graphics/websites), photographing, filming, video editing, composing music, paranormal and recently electronics. Other than the last two, I learned everything all by myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 should've changed the title to "other than animals" other than animals, I'm very much into: Japanese culture, including anime and manga. I write and read hiragana and katakana. Used to read kanji but I forgot most of'em now... Music. I don't play musical instruments, but I LOVE to sing not proud of my voice, but at least it doesn't break people's ears LOL Literary. I write and read a lot. Couldn't imagine my life without novels. Languages. I've always been a fast learner when it comes down to foreign languages. To this day I technically speak five languages: Javanese, Indonesian, English, Chinese and Japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I guess my other passion is my job. I work in politics and I do really enjoy always knowing what is going on and having the inside scoop. I have the benefit of working in something that I not only studied to do, I actually enjoy most of the time. I know not everyone is so lucky!

Jay Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Im jealous! I've always been interested in politics and I think it would be exciting to work in that field! I went to school to be a Paralegal, and got stuck working for a mortgage foreclosure law firm. It's not too bad but some of it is really boring. I guess my other passion is my job.

Jay Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 So, as far as other animals...I was always a cat person. I had cats growing up, and almost every place I have lived. I never thought I would have 3 dogs!! (Although I have loved huskies/malamutes for as long as I can remember) Other than that, I am really big into Television. I LOVE TV, and my DVR is almost always recording something! Right now I have about 30 shows that I watch regularly. I am also into electronics (TV's, Home Theater, Computers, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's just state level politics, but in some ways that is better because we don't get quite as many scandals as at the national level! But I think there are probably boring aspects to most jobs. I get bored sometimes, for sure. You could probably get a paralegal job in a government office! Im jealous!

Jay Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I wouldn't mind doing state level politics...just not in my state LOL. I wouldn't mind getting involved with county level here, but you have to know someone to get anywhere. I thought about looking for Paralegal positions in government, but unless it is with the Federal government the pay is VERY low. But I do live close enough to Chicago that I could commute...and I have been looking!

Clare70 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Other animal would have to be cats. We have had many, rescued many, I think we had 13 at one point! Non animal related would be cooking and vegetable growing. Oh and wine Over the past 6 years I've grown most of our veg, haven't bought potatoes for 4 years and try to be as self sufficient as possible. We had chickens for eggs, but the bloody fox got them I love to cook too and would really like to go back to school to learn and get qualified. Wine, well I am in France Like to have a glass or two most evenings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
