My name is Erin, and I'm a dog addict.

Hello! My name is Erin and I loooove dogs.

I'm currently 16 and still attending school. My dog is named Pippin and we rescued him from the local animal shelter, our best guess is that he is a Labrador/German Shepherd/Doberman mix, but we really aren't so sure. He will be two years old this August.

Pippin is very calm and fun to be around and loves to play fetch. He's awesome with kids and loves to lick faces, though some people are a little afraid of him since he's black and tan and looks a little like a Rottie or Dobe. :[ It makes him sad when he wants to go love the kids but the mommies won't let him. He also loves to swim and since we live on the river, he thinks he's in paradise every day!! He not incredibly smart, but he's extremely obedient. He's got a ton of personality and is quite seriously the most awesome I have ever been around (though you all probably feel the same about your dogs!! lol). Everyone who meets him and plays with him LOVES him, and he's very very gentle.

My dream dog is a Doberman, but I won't be getting one of them for quite awhile. I'd *love* to someday compete in Schutzhund. Eventually I'll get myself a Dobe, but until then, I have Pippin.

In our household we also have a Golden Retriever mix named Eddie (family dog) who is 7 to 8 years old, and a Chihuahua named Jorge (mom's dog) who is about 4 years old. We also have two cats, Lucky and Chester, three parrots, and a rabbit.

In my spare time I love to draw and read and play on the computer. I hope to have an awesome time here!!

And Oh! Here's a picture of Pippin and Eddie, and then Pippin and me for your pleasure!

Thanks!

I hope to have a lot of fun here. :3 I think he's a cutie too, but then again, I'm a little biased!! Right now my hair is green and blue, but I loved it when it was pink (it was a lot brighter, but it had faded), and I'm thinking about going back to it!

sheltiepups · 07-02-2005, 07:25 PM

That's awesome, I've never dyed my hair (to much of a wuss) but I love seeing diffrent colors on people

you'll have fun here, we are all about dogs

Welcome Erin and Pippin!

Hi Erin.

Welcome to Global Paw! I love the pink hair (and your glasses!), I bet it looks great green and blue as well.

Pippin is adorable. I can't believe anyone would be scared of him. I completely understand why that'd upset you when parents don't want their kids to interact with him. It's sad that everyone doesn't feel the same way about dogs as we do.
Anyhoo... welcome to the forum, we're so very glad to have you here and good luck with your goal of competing in Schutzhund. You'll find a few Doberman people here who will feed your interest in that gorgeous breed too.

Cass.

I make it my goal to have Pip be a good ambassador of "bad" breeds. :3 Everyone who isn't afraid of him *loves* him, and a few people have been surprised that he's part Dobe or Shepherd or what have you, they'll just kinda be "Oh! Really?" like they aren't so sure such a nice dog would be part such a "bad" breed!

It always makes me so proud of him when he makes a good impression on people.

And thanks for such the warm welcome, everyone! I hope to have a fantastic time here.

Hello, any chance you are into the, non-emo, punk scene? Just guessing from your look. Cute dogs though, I would guess part Dobe or Rott in a heart beat if I saw your dog.

Fuzz Puppy · 07-05-2005, 05:41 AM

Hi and welcome! Pippin is adorable.
