New Member Introduction

Hi...So glad I found this place!!  Someone had the foresight to put this website on craigslist and there I was the other night seeing what was going on on the pet pages of craigslist and "Big Paws Only" sounded so intriguing.... .

So here I am....I am Gigi, a mom of two terrific kiddos and I'm a HUGE dog lover.  We are owned by three terriers (two Westies and an evil Cairn) and a beautiful Newfoundland named Ebony.  They bring us much joy and happiness and laughter.  But I'm walking around with a huge hole in my heart as our Great Pyrennes died about a month ago.  She was the best girl in the world and the source of tremendous joy.  Sadie will always live in our hearts.  More on her at another time when I'm more composed to talk about her.

But it's great to be here, with other like-minded and like-hearted dog lovers.  We are in the process of moving back "home" for me, to the Tacoma, WA area.  If there are any Newf owners around here, I'd love to meet you!  What am I saying??  If there are any big dog lovers around here, I'd love to meet you!

Hope you enjoy the photos!!

Welcome to BPO! I'm Leah and have a 2 year old Saint and a 2&1/2 year old husky/shepherd. They are the love of my life, along with their Daddy ;).Can't wait to see more pics of all of your family! Maybe when you are ready you could start a thread in memorial to your beloved Sadie, it always hurts to lose someone so dear, but we really would love to hear how she touched your life.

Is there anyone in or around Portland, OR that has Newf pups? We live in Newberg and would love to get our pups together. We have 2 newf/lab babies. I have tried to post pics but for some reason I can't. Could be operator error!
