Are my dog bigs enough to post here?!
« on: October 15, 2006, 07:24:24 am »
Hi, my name is Phyllis, I live in Texas and am the mom to Shadow, our 6 year old lab, Sunny our 6 mo. old golden doodle and Princess, our 15 year old cat, who has very small paws by the way. Are my dogs considered big enough to post here? I've been lurking a few days on this website. I recently posted on the rescue board as I am a volunteer for an all breed rescue group here in my community.  Anyway, I've been reading some of the posts in the general forum and you all seem like a really great community, so I wanted to introduce myself.  My dogs are big to me but some of you "really" have some ginormous dogs here.  I'm not sure if we are considered big enough to meet and greet the big boys!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm so glad I found this board. The picture is of my boy, Shadow, he weighs 65 lbs. but my Goldendoodle who will be 6 mos. Tuesday is already weighing in at 50 lbs.! I'm afraid she will be as big as he is, lol!

I didn't realize I could attach more than one picture! Here's one of me and my teddy bear, Sunny, when she was 4 mos. old.

Thanks to all! Of course I'm bias and think my babies are exceptional but I so enjoy seeing photos of all the other wonderful dogs here. You see and hear of so many dog who are in need of good homes and it's very heartwarming to read the stories of dogs who are so loved by their families here.

Hi and welcome to the board.  I'm in League City and your pups are plenty big enough.  Mine are around the 65-70 pound limit also.  Nice to have you here.

Nice to meet you Kat! I'm meeting several fellow Texan's here. I LOVE your avatar, lol! My little brother loves to scuba dive.  What kind of fur babies own you?  Would love to see pictures!

Hi Annie,nice to meet you! Your babies are just precious! I wish I could get Sunny and Shadow close enough together to get a good picture but so far that has been an unattainable goal.
