wang is my nickname. well, "amy wang" is my nickname. the nickname was actually given to me by some of sam's friends from high school before we were even officially dating & it's stuck ever since. sam calls me "amy wang", "wang", or "wang sue" at least two or three times a day. we have friends that definitely call me "wang" more than "amy". i won't go into too many boring details about the specifics of how this name came about, but it does involve me looking asian. no, seriously. i've been asked by at least four different people under different circumstances if i was part asian. no, seriously.
in fact, the most notable time was when sam was visiting me at my parent's & he was playing basketball with a group of guys i had gone to high school with. one of them, whom i didn't know very well, came up to me & said, "are you kim nishimoto's sister?" i said, "kim nishimoto?? no! she's japanese!!"
thus, the nickname. but, for the record... i'm not asian. and now you know.

now for the paper mama's photo challenge
this week's challenge is "black & white."
meet dominoe. best. dog. ever. when we had to put dominoe down two years ago, i had had him as my dog longer in my life than not. meaning, i got him as a puppy when i was twelve, & he lived to be thirteen. thirteen years of my life were spent loving & caring for this guy.
he was my 4H dog for four years. he went to college with me. he was adopted by sam & came with me in my new home when i got married. but then he got old, he got weak, & he got to where life was harder for him than it should have to be. so we had to say goodbye.
this picture was taken about a month before we put dominoe down. it's pretty obvious that right up to his last day, despite all his aches & pains, he was a super happy dog. i still miss this guy.
but i figure, what better subject for a black & white photo than my favorite black & white spotted little guy?
