We are new to BPO :)
« on: February 28, 2008, 02:18:58 am »
Hello everyone!

My puppers are happy to join your forum.  I am the proud slave to a 9 year old deaf albinoism harlequin dane male named Brutis and a 10 year old king german shep female named Pharoah.

Brutis originally was my puppy, but when I went through a bad split up with an x boyfriend, he knew the way to my heart was to steal my puppy.  So he kept Brutis for a few months and it was the worst few months of his life.  He was abused, chased with the hose, pushed down the stairs and who only knows what else.  It was only after I called the police and happened to be there that the x did something bad to him in front of an animal loving cop who wouldn't put up with that crap.  He grabbed my poor baby 6 month old dane and threw him across the room.  Needless to say the cops wern't to happy with him and appointed me custody.  Which to this day I do not regret one bit.  As Brutis is deffinatly a momma's boy.  He was born deaf and has albinoism (albino traits)  He is supposed to be Harlequin but obviously has some genetic defects. But that doesn't make me love him ANY less :)  He is starting to get some arthritis in his knee, from an injury when he jumped into our semi and banged his knee off the running board.  But other than that he is a very intelligent boy and knows sign language and loves travelling.

Pharoah is a true rescue.  I rescued her when she was what should have been half her size.  Which she did not change much after she was rescued.  She was severly starved of food, water and attention. When I got her she maybe weighed 30lbs.  But you could see her ribs even through her thick winter coat.  She was taken from an abusive home by some neighbours and made her way into my heart.  I have had her for almost 10 years now.  As I rescued her before I got Brutis.  But to them they are brother and sister.  She is a very fun girl, who is happy to please.  Loves giving kiss's and everyone asks if those black spots on her tongue are dirt.  The only thing she hasn't grasped in her 10 years on earth, are the come command.  On a leash she gets it but when she's let out, she isn't coming back till she's ready and knows you can't catch her. 

And after all that is me, I'm Stephanie. Friend of Jody with Zero, Jiggs, Memphis and Reba.  I am a self employed tattooist and I live in southern Ontario, Canada. 

Thanks, and hope to talk to you all sometime :)

Hi and Welcome! Your ex sounds like a real piece of work, and I so hope he it tortured by Karma for what he did to Brutis and to you. Sorry my welcome is turning kinda black, but your story made me actually sick to my stomach! Ah well, Brutis has most obviously ended up in puppy paradise with you, and Pharoah, too!

Hey everyone :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!!  Its great to be here, I should have joined long ago, but I have a lot of reponsiblities running a reptile forum also.  I'm a slave to the big green beasties to (green iguana's)and lots of other crazy creatures to!  And now my typing has slowed down thanks to a bite in the finger from my smaller NASTY green beastie.  Darn boy!! 

I haven't been to many dog shows sadly :(  But I do know two people on this site already!  Jo and Moni!  I have only met Jo though.  How do we know where everyone is from?  You should have a board where people say where they are from :) 

Thanks for the welcome!  And I will post pictures of the rest of the "zoo" when I find the right section.

Thanks again :)
