Posted January 5, 201411 yr comment_885072 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...

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.
January 5, 201411 yr comment_885088 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.
January 5, 201411 yr comment_885109 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)

I know close to nothing about photography but that shot is priceless!
January 5, 201411 yr comment_885113 your signature screams that, really. I know close to nothing about photography but that shot is priceless! Thanks! 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:
January 5, 201411 yr comment_885153 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
January 5, 201411 yr Author comment_885154 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
January 8, 201411 yr comment_886346 Pets - my big passion is cats I love them I got my 1st when I was 3 - i couldn't imagine life without cats. None pets - i love photography and crafts
January 8, 201411 yr comment_886347 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!
January 8, 201411 yr comment_886350 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.

January 8, 201411 yr comment_886352 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.)
January 8, 201411 yr comment_886353 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!

January 8, 201411 yr comment_886355 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!

January 8, 201411 yr comment_886358 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
