Good Morning, Just wanted to introduce myself

[Leaf]

I very unexpectedly became a Big Paw Mom last night and have been researching and reading all I can about the Great Pyrenees breed.

I'm hoping to meet others with experience with the breed, in hopes of learning about my new guy and finding out how well his lifestyle and mine can mesh into a positive experience.

First we need pics- thats a must and two, tell us how you became a new parent to a Pyr. There has been an ongoing thread on this site about Pyrs. Its been going for days now and has a lot of info, but please feel free to ask any questions you want, someone on the board is probably going to have the answer.
Congrats on your new Pyr big paw.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! Look at the fuzzy face.  We are all chronically in Puppy Fever here. 
Is that a boyu or a girl and what's your pup's name...where are you from...what do you do...what funny puppy games and stories do you have to tell about?   so many questions.

welcome to BPO and congrats on your sweet pupper.

I haven't had a chance to name him, or do anything other than give him a bath and get him settled in a little bit.

Last night on my way home from the river I stopped at the gas station by my house and one of the girls there said she had something to show me.

Back in their dumpster area were 2 puppies, both alike. I asked where they came from and she said noone knew, but they had been there or about an hour and a half. She said there had been 3 but she was able to get a customer to take one.

She said her husband was coming up to see if he'd let her keep them. I stuck around for a while. He liked one but refused to take two.

By default, I ended up bringing this guy home. He was filthy and flea infested. I bathed him twice and he could still use another good scrubbing.

how admirable of you.  i love happy endings. 
you should give him a name fitting of his situation.  i'm glad you took him home.

LOL - all puppy, and my poor carpet is ALREADY cringing with shame. It doesnt make things easier since it is pouring today, and the little squirt absolutely wants no part of going outside.

[lins_saving_grace]

there's his new nickname..."Squirt"

[navarre1316]

He is too cute!!  Your carpet wants a crate!!  As for names:

Phil/Filler-"fill her up"
Kerry-Kerosene
Pete-petrole (sp)
Lead-unleaded just doesn't sound right

I know they're stupid, I'm trying to go with the gas theme, and I just woke up!!!

good luck, and that is so awesome that you took him home!!

[lins_saving_grace]

I like Filler up!!!!  but the nickname is stuck...Squirt! 

Tank
Hoser
Exxon

I love those name ideas! He was at a BP Gas station...

I'm wondering if this may be the reason he was dumped:



While it may look like an overbite, the more I look at him, the more I think the bottom jaw is actually too short.

[lins_saving_grace]

BP stands for BIG PAWS!!!!!!  it's natural and meant to be.

[jagersmom]

I agree! BP at BP meant to be! He is SOOOOO cute!!

Congrats on the new puppy!!

hello and welcome!
What a great story as to how you got the little guy, he is sooooo adorable!  Definitely needs a special name.

My name is Chris, and my crew consists of Keiko, a husky/shep mix, Gunther, a great dane, and Nigel and Posey, two rat terriers.

OMG!  That is one cute fluffer pup.  I like Mobile but BP works great too.  Congrats on the new pup.  He's a sweety and so glad that he found you.
