Hi Pyr Lovers, I have been reading your posts for the last couple of months but haven't written because I am without Pyr for the moment.  But this is about to change!  My family is about to welcome Samson (aka Rascal) on Friday.  My parents are getting another of the puppies too.  We are so excited!  Our senior citizen Pyrenees, Lady, died last summer from aggressive bone cancer, and we are finally ready to open our hearts again.  It has been a long, long time since we've had a puppy.  We got Lady as a rescue seven years ago.  The last time I had a puppy was when I was newly married 18 years ago.  I am so, so exited but a little scared too.  Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
