Some think I might be part golden (maybe so) but I think of myself as a Great Pyr. GP’s are smart, loyal and protective of their people and I am proud to be one. Humans often don’t understand why we are the way we are but my ancestors passed along all of these things to me and that’s why I had to leave my first home of 6 years and go live in a cage to be “trained” for many weeks. It is a time that I am trying to forget because now I have the best family ever! Mom and dad love me a lot and I promise to take care of them always because that is what we GP’s “do”! I also have lots of space to take care of and sometimes I go in the car with Mom when she does shopping. I don’t know much about shopping but if that makes her happy then I am happy too. My dad and I are best buddies and between the two of them I am hardly ever left alone. I even have a big brother who goes to college but he lives here too. The first part of my life didn’t turn out so well but the second part is going to be wonderful! Now I have to go and patrol my space and make sure everything is OK. Thank you everyone.
