I wanted to do a page that told just a little bit about myself, However I never know what to say, but if you are interested in knowing about Narleypig here goes...

My given name is Laura, I was named for my maternal grandmother, Narleypig came along years later, I was born in Kansas, We lived there for a while, then to Idaho, California, back to Kansas, and another move to California were we lived for over 30 years in a town called San Fernando, before moving back to Kansas again.

...

I have both a Brother, John and a Sister, Julie, both are very happily married. My Mom is June, My Dad John went home to Heaven in 2003 there is a page dedicated to him on this site

...

I am not now or have I ever been what would be considered   normal, I really don't even know what normal would be, and I do believe that sanity is overrated.  I have no human children, All of my Kids have fur, they are

Dogs ~ They think they are human

PeeWee ~ Sharpei/Lab Mix, Brother to Troubles, Uncle to Nermal
Troubles ~ Sharpei/Lab Mix, Sister to PeeWee, aunt to Nermal
Nermal ~ Sharpei/Lab Mix, Neice of PeeWee & Troubles

...

Cats ~ Don't ever call them cats, they will get mad

We don't know what kind they are

Julian ~ The oldest and loudest of them
Pepe ~ Kinda laid back but, ready for action at any time
Fluffy ~ Was lost for 2 months before returning home
Ripper ~ The smallest of the four, don't let her size fool you

Something I should make very clear, don't mess with my furry babies, I will fight to the death for them, They are my babies and are spoiled rotten just like any human child would be

...

I do love flowers, calla lilies and carnations, in any color, My favorite Color is Purple, with a rainbow of colors to follow after that, I am finding that I like the Color Black a lot as well

...

My Collections, well I used to collect just about everything, truth be told that is still true, however my favorite things to collect remain Pigs, and Baby dolls. In 2006 a fire wiped out nearly everything I have collected since childhood, and while this was a tragic and sad loss, No one was hurt in putting out the fire, and that is the only thing that mattered

...

There is a part of my life that is that sad and terrifying, I was a victim of Childhood Sexual Abuse, and Rape, I am a survivor, may children who went though what I did are not here to tell there story, I have always had trust issues and for some reason I am always afraid of being abandoned. This is an issue that I will always have trouble dealing with, For those that are saying GET OVER IT, well you try it sometime, Please let me know how you were able to not remember all the horrible things you were forced to do, and then told you were no good and you can never talk about any of it or else something bad would happen.

...

Wow, you are still here reading, After my strong thoughts about my abuse, Thank you, Most people have a list of things in there minds that they would like to do before they die, I am no different, Do I have them written down in some secret place, yes and no, There are some that I truly would like to do, and others that if I do wonderful if I don't will it really matter, Maybe I will someday do a page dedicated to things I would like to do before I die. Had to just laugh, Wonder if I will put everything on there, guess we will have to wait and see.

...

Ok if you are still here, How on earth did the name Narleypig happen...

From childhood I have collected Pigs, so piggy, of course I do have a nickname that my Uncle Bill gave me when I was a baby, (peanuts).  Back to Narleypig, Back in the 80's I worked for a skateboard manufacturing plant in California, There were three of us in the accounting Department that all got along so well, there were points when we would work very long hours sometimes coming in at 5 AM, Yes 5 AM, When I look back at that I still can't believe I did that, Getting up that early, of course you can do a lot of things in your 20's that you wouldn't dream of doing past 40 years of age, Anyway on one of the early days, the three of us were at the plant, we were so tired and were all feeling a bit goofy, the building we worked in had a upstairs that early in the morning or late a night was very dark and scary to even think about going up their.  Well the time came when I had to go upstairs could not go any further on my job without getting some more forms, so up I went, I was terrified but, to make up for it I ran up the stairs snorting like a pig, it was loud so I figured it anyone or anything was up their it would scare them, I came back down the stairs the same way. only snorting louder, One of my co-worker say oh man a narleypig, and the name just stuck.

...

Hope you have enjoyed getting to know just a few little things about me, not anything like you thought was I, ok maybe I am basically normal but, I sure hope not.
