aboslutely new to this

[cherokeewoman]

Hi everyone, my name is Natalie and I am a (wait for it) super dog lover....no the dogs don't have to be super, they can be normal loving wonderful dogs.....anyway I babble when trying to think of something to say...

Live here in the great state of Texas with my three plus one....my three babies and my mom's.....

theres Boomer who is a beagle but very confident and independent and what a charmer, if they handed out awards for charm he would win em over and over.......Then theres my old soul Pippin our golden retriever who is actually the baby of the home at one years of age.....Lily who has a black mink coat and is half bassett and half labrador.....we often call her mug a moo....and what a tank...she is blind in one eye but manages just fine.....and then theres my moms baby, Precious who is a pembroke welsh corgi with a most independent personality, but she guards her mom.

Three years ago I lost the love of my life Booboo who I still grieve over and a year ago Phoebe, she had a pancreatic attack and they said she was also diabetic.....after years of blood tests it seemed no one noticed that detail.....her death still haunts me also.....

Think thats it for now.....

Welcome Natalie! Your my neighbor to the east, I am in New Mexico. We have another member in the great State of Texas here as well. You can post pictures of your pack, most of us use Photobucket, choose the medium picture setting.


I'm Kian and own 2 Aussies and a few other critters. Welcome!!

Welcome to the Daily Puppy Natalie, and Pack, from Oliver & Henry, and their Mum, in London, Ontario, Canada.

It sounds like you have a lovely group of "friends". We would love to see some pictures, as Kian suggested. I did chuckle at your description of Lily. I imagine she is a beautiful "tank". Pippin sounds like a wonderful fellow also. They all do! I'm sure Boomer is a happy fellow, with a lovely Hound voice, and I'm sure "Precious" really is just that.

What lovely dogs you have.....my nervousness is Im new at taking pics...my husband gave me a Nikon for Christmas and have only taken four pics since then.....but I will persevere and give you some pics of my brood asap.....

Think its wonderfully entertaining to hear people describe their babies personalities? dont' you?

[RubyJeansMom]

Hello Natalie, I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your gang...I'm sure you'll have your new camera mastered in no time!

The names, love those names...... I so wonder how people come up with the names they do for their babies with fur...so imaginative and so often fits them to a tee....

Thanks for the welcome

Hi Natalie. I'm Tracy and I'm struggling to type with a Cavalier in my lap. She's my mum's but my mum is away visiting family. As well as Libby we also have Deerhounds Loki and Idun and we are in beautiful North Devon, England. Welcome to the DP.

Hi Natalie! I'm also in the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS! (For you non-Texans out there -- first, yes, that is the official name of the state, and second, I'm sorry you're not from Texas. You should be too. ) Can't wait to see pics of your babies!

Welcome to the DP from Sylvia and furbaby Maya.

[cherokeewoman]

Hi Tracy, your mum's dog looks like a real talker......and I love that you have Deerhounds, it is a hope of mine
to possibly have a deerhound family member.....love everything about them....and your names are great Loki and Idun...and on top of all that you tell me your in Devon.......om it is a dream of mind to visit England and Scotland.

My dearest friend is visiting Ireland again this year for 3 weeks.....I have totally romanticized England and Scotland but
thats okay....a girl can dream.....

[cherokeewoman]

Hey Sylvia and Maya and yes it is called The Great State of Texas.....thanks for the welcome and hope to hear more about
your Maya.....love the descriptions of dogs personalities......

[Deerie me]

Thank you for that.....its more beautiful than I can say in words....now I know its wrong to covet, or be absolutely green with envy or jealous......even to say I hate you would be so wrong......soooooo let me say you are the most blessed person ever to live in and among such breathtaking beauty.....I'm a walker, I would walk everywhere possible that you showed me....sigh.......time for me to just sighhhh and say thanks for sharing....

Hi Natalie! Welcome to the DP!!!

[cherokeewoman]

Thanks Nezza....read your profile and choked up a bit....you had some beautiful friends in
your life and your new babies look like they'll give you lots of love.....

Can identify with your love of animals....pretty much for me dogs are a whole lot nicer
than people and whats more their 'real'....

[Deerie me]

I am blessed to live in area of such beauty but don't be too jealous, it is also one of the remotest communities in England. Jobs are scarce, especially non-seasonal ones, most large stores are almost an hours drive away, as is the nearest hospital and the local secondary school (High school) is twenty miles away. We like it though.
