Found my soul mate
« on: January 22, 2006, 01:21:32 pm »
Hello All.  I am the proud roommate of Einstein -- a half Pyrenees half Irish Wolfhound.  The sweetest, most beautiful dog I've ever seen.  I adopted him yesterday in the middle of a thunderstorm here in Houston, Texas.  It was meant to be.  I look forward to lots of good advice and feedback from the contributors to this website.  I've been lurking around for a few weeks because I was preparing myself to make a commitment -- I've been amused, touched and motivated by your posts. 

About Einstein:  He 4 years old (or 2, depending on who you ask).  He's all white, with the dew claws, but his coat is wiry.  He weighs 100 lbs., loves to sleep, be scratched and brushed.  Enjoys walks, but isn't impatient about going outside.

Our first night together (last night) he slept on the floor at the foot of my bed (he refuses to get on the furniture).  Besides snoring, he didn't make a sound.  This morning we went for a short walk and he was sniffing the ground, but didn't seem the least bit perturbed by other dogs -- even the dogs that were barking to him.

Okay, I could go on and on, but I'll be posting more in the future and you'll get to hear all about him!

Oh wow! I knew I thought I've seen your dog somewhere. I can't get over how much he looks like these dogs. Just thought I would share this with you. He's so fuzzy!

You're not the first to point out the resemblance with the SRO.  I took a look at the photos and except for his dew claws, he looks exactly like the SRO.  COOOOLLLLL  he's even specialler than I thought!

I went home for lunch and found him sound asleep (he sleeps like a log).  I brought him a gigantic rawhide bone and he was happy.  Barked when I left, but he hadn't disturbed anything in the house and seemed like he was enjoying himself.

I'm so lucky.

I'll borrow a digital camera and post more photos tomorrow.  At lunch time I went home to check on him -- I woke him up!  I brought him a gigantic rawhide bone and he was very happy.  Barked goodbye as I drove off.

Thank you everyone for your raves -- I'm pretty crazy about him.  I wasn't this bad when my grandson was born.

Great looking dog.  He really looks like Albert Einstein, with all that white hair.  Total old man face!  Enjoy your new life with him and welcome to BPO!
