Hi, I'm Tink
I was born and raised in Trempealeau County and moved back here recently.
I'm married to a semi driver, have 3 grown kids and 2 granddaughters who hung the sun and the moon.

I recently took an early retirement and decided to go back into dog breeding as a hobby. I have a Standard Poodle stud and 2 nice Lab females and a 10 day old litter of a dozen Labradoodles to keep me busy.
You'll often find me sitting by the pups with a silly grin on my face 'cause I'm just having too much fun. What's sweeter than puppies?

I'm addicted to the Internet; used to work as a site coordinator/administrator/moderator so have a lot of friends from all over the globe thanks to that experience. Now I look forward to getting to know people from my own state on this site and hope to be able to contribute something worthwhile back.

Welcome Tinkdedoodle to the bubbler. Wisconsin's #1 site.

It seems we have a few things in common as I read your intro. While I was young my parents raised poodles which was alot of work but fun too. Our family pet of many years was a fantastic female standard poodle. Many years later when I was married I bought a tiny teacup poodle. Joy of my life at the time.

I have 4 kids and 2 grandkids. Only 2 are grown but the other two children are getting their quickly. To quickly if you ask me. It's funny how time goes by so fast.

I noticed you mentioned you use to work as a site coordinator/admin/mod. I use to be co/owner of a larger local media site and I also mod not only on this great site but one in Illinois as well. Keeps me busy at times but I too am addicted to the internet! lol Whatever did we all do before computers/internet/websites etc...was there really a world back then? lol

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay here on our fun forums and we see posts from you in the many forums we have to choose from.

Hello from a bit down south! I'm in Holmen, just north of La Crosse. I was half way to your place yesterday, in Galesville.

Welcome to the Bubbler.

Whenever I talk to someone from the counties around La Crosse, I have to ask... Do you call it the Coulee Region up there? Technically, the Coulee Region is a huge area encompassing everything the glaciers didn't touch, but the label is usually used for La Crosse and the surrounding area. I'm trying to figure out just how far out that term reaches. I know if you get up near Eau Claire then you're in the Chippewa Valley but not sure where the dividing line is.

Thanks,

Michelle
