Saint Bernard Pictures / Re: Home from the pound
« on: November 09, 2006, 12:00:53 pm »
Well things aren't going so well here. I am beginning to wonder if this was a good idea.
Our new girl just dose not seem to like Bray at all. Granted he had his nose in her rear for most of the first 24 hours she was home but now he is going out of his way to avoid her. The other day she was laying on the floor. He and I walked into the living room near where she was laying and she jumped up toward him, he backed up and she nipped my leg. I know she did not mean to get me but since then she has pinned him a couple of times.
I use Bray as my Service Dog so I do not want Him to be negatively impacted by her "lashing out". Otherwise she is very sweet and good so far with the kids. I hate to give up on her too soon but I am concerned what the cost maybe if I don't do something soon.
Today I went to lunch with my husband and Bray came along. Not too long after we got our food the neighbor call telling me that she had jumped our 6 foot fence...needle ss to say lunch was over. So here we are wondering what to do...maybe she needs a home where she is the only dog for awhile

Saint Bernard Pictures / Home from the pound
« on: November 07, 2006, 06:54:22 am »
Okay so after the MAJOR run around we got our new girl home. Â Bray was so excited to see her again, (they were introduced at the shelter).
We re-intorduced them in the front yard then brought her into her new home and gave her the grand tour...here's the water, here's the food dish, the bell to ring to go pottie, oh and lets not forget the kitties, how cute they were until Comet sneezed and scared her.
Brayden still has not figured out why she is not interested in him though
...she had to set him straight already, he was fussing too much over her and she finally had enough. Â Can't say I blame her though, he was drooling all over her and she just wanted to lay down. (She was fixed before she could come home with us)
She is up and around today but has not eaten yet, we will keep trying to get her interested, she needs to gain 40 or 50 pounds. Â
I will post pics below...Oh her name...after much deliberation the family agrees on, Chloe'.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Went to the pound today...
« on: November 03, 2006, 04:17:08 pm »
Went to the pound today just to license Brayden...of course my daughter and I had to take a stroll thru the kennel...No Biggie, we were not looking for a dog we love our "Big Bray".
So in we go and in the second kennel we came to is a pretty little girl, shes a St. Bernard...Well the longer I stood there looking a her the more I began to think how sad that someone had just let this lovely little girl go. I spoke with the attendant who informed me that she is Pure bread from No. Cal. she and her brother had gotten out one time before and landed themselves in puppy jail. They were chiped so their parents were contacted and they were picked up...
Well this time, they got and and were pcked up and the shelter called their "parents"...no answer...now they are up for adoption...
The happy part of the story is that the brother has been adopted...and after a call to my husband, who is very tolerant of my love for BIG dogs, she has a new home too!

Thank you for the templet. I attached the finished product below. The kids and Brayden loved the pumpkin, I got the reaction I expected from my friends who know I am just a bit crazy for my "baby" 
. All in all the pumpkin was a big hit thanks.

WOW, those are so awesome!!!! That is just what my neighbors and friends would expect me to put on a pumpkin...wher e did you get the template?
Fumble is such a cutie. Is he going trick or treating or will he be passing out the candy at the door?

He is so much fun...we dressed him up as Dracula for Halloween, hard to make that out since both he and his cape are black.
