I've lived in Belding, Michigan my whole life. I was married for a short time back in 1980, but the marriage ended in divorce in early 1981. I love all animals, especially dogs. I shared my life with a beautiful neutered male yellow Labrador Retriever, named Cody, who was like my child. I had to have him put to sleep on November 7, 2005 due to a very bad illness that he contracted. I felt as though I was killing my own child, and I still miss him to this day.
