How did you pick your username?
First of all, I love animals, especially dogs. Second, my favorite breed of dogs are dobermans, hence, 'ms dobe' and my username was born!
I know, I know... I used to think the same way many of you think about dobermans, they're vicious killers. But times change.
I was working in Switzerland and my parents were living in Bangkok (keep in mind this was decades ago). They wrote me and said they got a doberman for a watch dog. I went berserk, after all, my parents were intelligent people and everyone knew dobermans turned on their owners - how could they be so stupid???
Well, on my way back to the States I stopped to visit my parents and had a chance to see 'Duke' in person. My dad picked me up at the airport and when I got out of the car at the house, Duke lunged at me. I had never been afraid of a dog in my life, but I was terrified of him.
Day 2 - After I woke up I thought I'd go out in the front yard and enjoy a cup of coffee. The front door was glass and as soon as I started to open the door I was greeted by a huge dog with snarling teeth. Scratch the coffee in the front yard idea!!
To make a long story short, it took Duke 3 days before he let me out of the house, but after that, we were best buddies.
I've had dogs most of my life, but must say there is something special about dobermans.
When I got back to the States, I went looking for a motorcycle (I ended up working for a year in Laos upon visiting my parents, and had bought a cycle - the main mode of transportation in the country at that time).
Instead of bringing home a motorcycle, I brought home a beautiful 6 week old blue female doberman puppy, whom I named Heidi. I have since owned a total of 4 dobermans, the last 2 being rescues, and I will only get a doberman from a rescue from now on.
They're a fantastic breed and totally misjudged by the public (and I was as guilty as anyone of this, so I can't blame anyone).
This has been a rather long story, but this is why my username is 'msdobe'.
BTW, my parents were the only Americans in Bangkok that were never robbed - thanks to Duke!!
So what is your story about your username?
