Hi and welcome to BPO! My name is Stephanie, mom to Sierra the 10 month old Newfoundland and Magic the 7 yr old Black Lab. The rest of my zoo is listed in my signature.
I'm so glad you found us! This has got to be the best site to brag about our babies! Unlike other message boards, there is no need to worry about someone trying to one up you with a my-dog-is-better-than-your-dog attitude. Everyone here is friendly and supportive and full of information. No matter what your question, someone here has the answer you're looking for.
I can't wait to see pictures of your big paw! A word of warning though...we're picture addicts here. Once we see one, we need more and more to satisfy our "fix". LOL!
