    Saint Starved--lets get started on the BIG dogs

    I'm sitting here, at my lonely little desk in my apartment re-vamping the Greater Milwaukee Saint Bernard Club website and feeling completely forlorn.  Why, you may ask?  Because I haven't a lovable slobbery face looking up into mine while I'm working.

    My apartment doesn't allow dogs.

    Please help!  Give me my dose of Saint Bernard!  I'm going into withdrawal!

    Hi Jessica,

    Are you looking for an apartment that would allow a Saint Bernard?

    I live right outside Milwaukee in a nice complex that looks like there is not a size limit.

    We actually did find a place in Brown Deer that allowed Saints, but ended up living here because it's much closer to my husbands workplace.  We compromised by getting a cat.  Not as fulfilling (in my mind) as a Saint, but my daughter adores him, so...

    Nah, we're saving money for a house, and a dog isn't conducive to that right now, so I go through my withdrawel stages--a lot more now since my mom's last Saint died, too.

    I was just looking for people to post cute pictures...help me through my time of difficulty. [:D]

    For the life of me I cannot remember her name but there is a poster who has two gorgeous SB's on here. One of the dogs is Shaq I believe.  Maybe you could do a search and see if you can find the pictures she has posted.  Sorry I couldn't help more.

    Well, not a Saint, but here's my big dogs:

    Tully, lamb caretaker extraordinaire and bane of coyotes (purebred Marremma sheepdog):



    His sire Strider, who taught him everything he knows (also pure Marremma) - and Lu, the Pasture Queen (8 year old Pyr/Marremma cross):



    I have Border collies but I think (shh, don't tell anyone) that these dogs are way smarter than my Border collies, even.[;)]

    Thanks, everyone, for the info and for the semi-hijack of my thread. [sm=biggrin.gif] Geez, only here two seconds and already getting derailed... [sm=lame.gif]

    Well, my friends' shepherds can turn doorknobs and sing, so I guess the jury's still out for me on that one.  Can your Marremma drive?  That would definitely cinch that one for me.  [sm=biggrin.gif]
