General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / I'm posting for the first time!

Hi, I've been lurking here since last fall but I've been rather shy about posting (obviously). 
It's great to find such a nice group of dedicated dog lovers! I'm mom to 3 skin kids, 3 canine fur kids and our kitties. We have Daisy, a very sweet spayed 8 y/o Golden Ret./Yellow Lab cross that we've had since puppyhood and we've had 2 Pyrs in the past. Our first Pyr we lost to old age and our second we had to PTS last year due to bone cancer and it just broke our hearts. I found BPO while we were grieving and you've all been a great comfort to me and an inspiration to rescue our latest additions to our family. We recently added two new Pyrs to our family. Since February we've adopted Cassie, a 23 month old spayed female GP that we adopted from an elderly couple that were having health problems and Sammy a 3-5 yr old neutered male GP that came to us from GP Rescue. Cassie had been well loved and cared for and she is a healthy, happy cuddle bug. Sammy was removed from his former "home" by animal control due to severe abuse and neglect. 
He was only 68# and shaved due to mats when he came to rescue and you could count every rib on him. We'll never really know how much he suffered, but he has the sweetest eyes and the biggest heart you can imagine. He is doing well now, gaining weight and strength and we sure love him. Amazingly, they both originally came from the same town (5 hrs from us), so we know that they were meant to be! We now have our Golden Pyr pack that we've always wanted and we couldn't be happier. Thank you all for the inspiration to rescue!
