I want to thank everyone for the condolences and support regarding bringing Buddy and Dolly to my home. I have gotten such wonderful information and it is making things less scarey for me. I know that I am doing the right thing because it feels right, I know that it will take time and that I can't rush them to become settled. I can't wait to get a good picture so that I can post it, so you can see how beautiful he is. Sometimes I think he is too much for Dolly (lab mix), when they play because he is so much larger. I can't wait to see them this weekend. I am not sure if we will get to bring them home or if it will be next weekend. Thank you all so much

My retriever/sheltie mix, Tipper, is only 40lbs compared to Jenny's 100lbs and they do really well together. They love to wrestle with each other. A couple of times Jenny has pawed Tipper too hard and he lets her know that he doesn't like it with a warning bark, and she responds really well. She is really gentle for such a big dog, and it seems like this can be said of most Pyrs. They are bred to move more slowly to not disturb sheep, etc., and are not hyper as adult dogs.
When we go to the wooded trails near my home there is this fluffball tiny dog (I'm not sure what kind, but really little) that we see often and Jenny adores this dog--wants to follow it and play with it, it's really cute to see.

I just want to add my two cents about my "terrible two". Naja is my 75lb + Great Pyr, and Moo is a 17 lbs Cairn Terrier/Toy Poodle mix. They roll around and rough house like it's nobodies business and I have never heard so much as a yelp from Moo, angry frustrated barking when Naja doesn't want to play anymore yes, Pained yelp never. ;)
BTW: Good luck bringing them home, I can't wait to hear about how they are adjusting. :)
