Hi! My husband and I have been enjoying this site for awhile and I was starting to feel like a voyer. I finally got up the nerve to try to post. We were the lucky owner of a "feisty" little paws, Cairn terrier, for about 8 years. My daughter got married 2 years ago and instead of giving me grandbabies she gave me "grand doggies". They had a beautiful Akita but that wasn't enough. They decided to adopt a baby girl Pyr. She was a fluffball w/ a gray badger mask and "black eyeliner" that made her so beautiful that she took your breath away. But what truely made me fall in love w/ her was her lazy, quiet, sweet nature. When I learned that she still had a brother available, I begged my husband to treat me for my birthday. Life will never be the same, in a great way. Although my Cairn is kinda grumpy about his "little" brother at times, we have loved every minute of this adventure. I have so enjoyed hearing about everyone elses "Big Paws" I wanted to share my joy w/ all of you - so -----Heeeere's Rocky!!!

What a handsome lad, and a pretty sister also. How old is he and how big?
-
Rocky is 6 1/2 months. At his last visit (his neutering :'() to the vet he weighed 76 pounds but we think he's about up to 90+ now. His dad and an uncle weigh over 120 so we think he's going to be a BIG boy. But hey - the bigger the better I say!!!!
-
Welcome! Rocky is one handsome boy. ;D I am just like your daughter too! I have been married for 2 years and have given my parents a grand-dog while my sister gave them a grand-cat. They love it but wish that they had 2 legged grandkids too. :D
-
Now that we have Rocky we see how wonderful large breeds are. Everyday we find a new breed that we think we may get next!! I think when the time comes we may try a rescue, maybe a female Newfie. Any thoughts on how those 2 may get along? Rocky is very sociable, he plays well with his sister, her Akita step-brother and my neighbor's shephard/lab mix. How great would that look walking in the park, giant white and giant black!! We already get stopped by everyone we see. Oh well, this is a future dream as our space is limited right now but within the year we'll be moving and look out then!!! ;D

Cute fur babies you have there. I say the more the merrier. I have 5 fur kids. Welcome!
-
Welcome you boy is so very good looking. You are going to have such a great time with him. I have two Great Pyrenees. Sugar Bear is 13 months and Dixie Darlin is 7 months. I lost my 91/2 year old last year and found that my house was not the same home without a Pyr. So now I have my two fur-babies and would love to have a third. You could add a second Pyr.
 You can do things with one without feeling like the others are feeling neglected or lonely. With just two, I felt like I had to take both to the vet, even if only one needed to go, just because I didn't want the other one to feel left out. I know, I'm pathetic!
When I take one I take both. Sugar Bear and Dixie are even in the same Petsmart class. I love having two, and I like the sounds of three even better.

Beautiful boy! The big ones are addictive, I think it is because of their BIG hearts! We have our little husky/shepherd (well we call her little compared to her big bro) and a Saint Bernard. I can't wait until the day I can add a third! Although hubby insists we wait until we move out of the city (hopefully within the next two years)! Maybe I will just have to show him this thread on why having three is a good idea! Anyway, have fun here, soon you will be an addict!
-
Thanks for making us feel welcome. There's no turning back now, yes we are hooked. Remember back when finding a dog hair on your food was a big deal???? Now I chase "santa clauses" thru the house and vaccumm 3 times a day!!!
-
What a nice looking boy. Welcome.
-
See what I mean? It's addictive!! Once you get one big-pawed creature, you just want MORE! :D
I know what you mean, its like you can never have too many big pawed doggies......W elcome to BPO, Rocky is one handsome "little" boy.
-
Hi & welcome!...Rocky is a sweetie!!...Then again I may be biased as I think all Pyrs are beautiful!! ;D My name is Chelle & I have 2 Pyrs...Samson just turned 1 on the 23rd of last month & Pippin as about 5 & 1/2 months old & we just picked him up last weekend...I love my 2 big doofy dogs!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Welcome to BPO! Rocky is so handsome!
-
Thanks Chelle. I'm Cindy and I thought my life was complete w/ my rotten little Cairn Terrier, but I was so wrong. I wanted to tell you how sorry I was for you and Jasmine for your tragic loss this summer. I cried even harder when I read Wolf's story. I think you have a heart as big as a Pyr!!

Ty Cindy!...Sometimes I really wish I didn't care so much...It becomes very difficult when you start to feel like you are fighting a loosing battle with all of the idiots in the world who don't care at all to start with...It was a very painful blow when we lost Arwen...I am still grieving every day for the life she will not have with us....We have her brother Pippin...He is an absolute joy & I feel we are honoring Arwen's memory by giving him all of the love we had for her...Yes, Wolf's story is amazing...Pipp in is his great grandson & is named after him "Tanimara's Pippin Memory Of Wolf"...Pippin also has his eyes & I can see & feel Wolf's spirit in my little boy!...Pyrs are awesome souls for sure!!...B.t.w., Chelle is my name & Gypsy Jazmine is my online nickname :)...I stole it from one of my cats...lol!

Thanks Jackie. I want you to know how much I was touched by Wolf's story and how I cried when I read about your 2 little angels. If you have a chance, read about my brother's dog Koda on my post on the akita board. I think it is on a "meet the newbie kind of post, it reminded me of your story. If you can't find it click on my bio and check my posts. I've seen Akita's blow their coats adn I can't even imagine a pyr blowing their double coat! I can already stuff a mattress w/ the white hair I've collected!! ::)

Busa says welcome. You are going to have your hands full but it is well worth it! Congrats on your beauty.

HOw do you put a paw print on here. Is that the same as a picture. Still learning.. lol ;D
-
On the main home page, look in the right column and you'll see Add Your Paw Print. If you want to add a picture, you do it when you reply to a message I think. If you click on reply after a message, look for the Additional Options link at the bottom and you can add a picture. Your paw print picture is what you see next to all our names.
