New to BPO
« on: December 23, 2006, 07:13:13 am »
Hi everyone!  I just found this site because it was mentioned in a members Dogster stats. ;D  Right now I've only got my one boston merle great dane, Heffner.  I'm hoping to add another one in a few years once my husband adjusts to the whole size thing! :D  We're on vacation in Beverly Hills for Christmas right now, so I don't have access to all my many files of pictures, but he does have a Dogster site! ;D  http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=300040

We live in Hillsboro, OR and would absolutely LOVE to meet up with some fellow BPOers for some fun big dog rompin'!

Welcome to the most addicting site on the internet ( for those of us with big paws anyways) I have to agree, we will help you with working on the husband part. I am Paige, and there are a lot of bigs here at the house. Permanently there are now 2 Great Danes ( a third is going to his forever home today) 3 Great Pyrenees, a Newfie mix and some littles, including a malnourished, messed up little shepherd that we just rescued.
I am looking forward to seeing more pics of Heffner and I have to agree- what a great name for a Great Dane.

Welcome to you and Heffner!!  BPO is a great place to be - I have met so many lovely people and so many great dogs, friends are here for advise, cheering up and pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

I am owned by Harley one of the smaller big paws on the forum he is about 70 pounds and a flat coated retriever.  He is a goofy, friendly, naughty boy who I just adore.  I have been after my hubby for another dog for quite some time and I'm not getting anywhere - I wish you better luck.

Well I hope you enjoy BPO and all it has to offer.
