More than you ever wanted
to know about Tres and Paul. Brought to you via our Home Page!
Paul and I met and fell in love November, 1994. (OK
we met in October, but did not really get to talk until November
5th). We purchased our first house in March of 1995. We live in Austin, Texas with our
three dogs, Fitz, Lindy, and Tahoe and our two cats, Sabrina and Acuna.

Tahoe is deaf. For a lot of great information regarding
deaf dogs go to:
If you need any animal health tips please visit:
http://www.caninesincrisis.org/ for a wealth of

very good information and resource lists on this site.
Thanks to

Austin, TX
Austin is located in the central
part of Texas. It is surrounded by hills and three
lakes. It is a very active city with water sports, miles of
hike-and-bike trails, mountain bike trails, rock climbing, a
veloway, etc.
Austin is very progressive. According to the 1990 census, there were more self-reported same sex couples per-capita in Austin than in any other city in the US.
No one here seems to care if you are gay or straight, most people are
laid-back in their outlook on life. Current statistics put Austin number three in gay population per capita, only San Francisco and D.C.
surpass Austin in this category.
