Hi, I have been lurking for a while and decided that I really need to introduce myself.
I live on the northside of Chicago with my b/f-partner-SO (so many labels) and our 8.5 month male OEM. The name is confusing for many people but who is going to make fun of a 200 lb. dog?? We picked him up in May and have had such a great summer. The little guy is 120+lbs. and only had 80 lbs to go.
I have really enjoyed lurking and I hope that I have something interesting to contribute.
The avatar photo is from his puppy shower in June. I tried to add some newer photos but, since the files are too big, I was receiving error messages.

Welcome! I'm Susan and I have an 11 month old Newfoundland named Bailey and we live in California.
Your pup is so adorable. Hope you can resize some of your pics so we can see more of him.

Hi! Welcome. My name is Rachel and I have a 2 year old mastiff mix. I can't wait to see more pics of your baby.

Is there any way to post pictures using an internet photo site? All the photos I have cannot be compressed or, when compressed, they are still over the 200 KB limit.

www.photobucke t.com is great. I use it alot when pictures are to big. It automatically resizes them for you.  Then all you have to do is put the [img] link right into your post.

Hi, I'm Paul. and I live in Indiana. I have Darmok, a female doberman who will be 3 next month, and Sasha, a female doberman who will be 2 next month.

Hi and welcome! your OEM is just a beauty!

Your OEM is So cute! Amazing to call him a pup at 120 lbs! Chester, our brown Newfie baby is close to the same age but 'only' weighs about 90 lbs! We also have a 3 year old Landseer, Cowboy. Welcome to the group! Feels free to weigh in on any posting! The more you post, the more involved you are!! It's great fun here!

Hey there and welcome. What a handsome 'little' fellow you have there! I don't post a whole lot, but this is a great site and bunch of folks.

Nice to meet you! You little baby is so gorgeous! I'm Jaime and have a 3 year old Newf named Bear.

Hello and welcome.
I'm always so attracted to a good mastiff. If it weren't for the drool, I would totally get one. My name is Chris, and I have a 7 yr husky/shep female Keiko, and my 1 yr old tomorrow great dane Gunther.
BTW........... ....we are moving outside of west Chicago next spring, and would love to meet you and your pup. If not, at least give us some good dog places to visit and pointers. :)

Welcome! That is a beautiful boy you have there!
I'm fairly new here as well. I'm Kelly, live in Airdrie Alberta (right outside of Calgary) and I have a 4 month-old Leonberger named Kate.
Hope you like it here!

Thanks for the wonderful welcome!
ZooCrew, I am not too familiar with the western suburbs so I cannot offer any information about that area. But, if you ever want to make the hour trip to the city, there is a OTL dog beach at Montrose Beach. Most of the dogs are well behave but there are a few clunkers. You should probably check your municipalities website about dog parks.
The reason we refer to Nola as a little guy/pup is because his dam is 185 and his sire is 220. We have about 80-120 more pounds to go!

Welcome!! You're dog is adorable!
Hope you enoy it here :)
