Hi my name is Kristi and I'm new here...
I have an almost 8 yr. old Bullmastiff, Sampson.
I'm totally new to the message board community - so I'm learning as I go. If you have any hints or suggestions, I'm open to 'em!
I posted a few pictures, and my boy's story in paw-prints. I also have 2 cats and a 6yr old daughter, Gaby.
Looking forward to meeting some of you - it looks like a good group.
-kristi. ;)

Hi Kristi and welcome to BPO. What a handsome boy Sampson is.  Its such a great place to check in throughout the day when you need a smile, randomally pick a breed and look at all of the pics and read the post, and oh yea, its a great educational source as well.  Other than that you will see a group of folks there to lend an ear (eye in this case) ]and help with all of the ups and downs that come with sharing our lives with are furry friends.

BTW, I am Jeff and I share my life with Stan my 10 week old american mastiff, Julie- a soon to be 2 year old rottie, and Steve a 2 and a half year old pug/jack russel.

Welcome and enjoy!!

Michelle-
We appear to have a similar families... Sam ins almost 8 & my daughter will be 6 in March.
We're considering getting another Big Paw - how did Puck take to the new arrival?  How old was Farley when he/she arrived?
-kristi.

Puck was a little hesitant about Farleys' arrival at first. We had to have very supervised intoductions at first. My husband had Puck on his prong collar and leash and I would hold Farley and let Puck sniff him etc. We really wanted a girl pup, we were unable to locate one. I think it took a little longer b/c it was same sex for Puck to get use to Farley. We had just lost our female rotti Katie in May/05 and we got Farley the end of June/05. Farley was 8 weeks old when we got him and he was 11 pounds. Puck was a  136 pds--thus the very supervised visits.
After about a week they were much better and at about 2weeks later, they were able to be on the floor together running around. Puck actually started acting very motherly o Farley. Puck started licking Farleys face and ears. Farley would curl up with Puck when he was sleeping. Now they are the best of friends. Eventhough Puck still outweighs Farley by about 90 some odd pds...lol
