Hi all, I wanted to share a few pics from our visit with Sarah.

This first one is of Sarah and I and some of the kids.


Sarah with Lys and Mike in her plant room. She has those shelves full of AV's.


My favorite, Zack and Abby. Abby did have her head on his legs until I walked up to them.


Sarah and Lys with Cricket.


And finally the kids at the zoo.

Oh, those are so good!
I love the one with Zack and Abby!

That bottom pic would make a nice postcard!

They are really lovely pictures!

Pretty women pretty kids, pretty flowers beautiful dogs.

What Jimmy said
I'm practicing my photograghy. You're pictures are good. And everyone looks terrific.

wow ya'll look great! it's always nice to put a face with a person. it looks like ya'll had fun...I love that dalmation! he is soooo kute! and the other little dog cricket is sooo adoreable! I just wanna roll in the floor and play with them lol

Jamie, Abby is Sarah's Great Dane. It was really cute when Zack first saw her (Abby, not Sarah) He said she was a dalmation. I told him not that she was a Great Dane. Then he said "She's a spotted Great Dane"

Glad you all liked the pics. We had such a good time.

Great pics, Triss!

But, you forgot to mention that you think Abby is HUGE.

i agree!

Nice pics guys! I <3 that one at the bottom with everyone! That's an awesome group photo.

Well she is HUGE Sarah but I love her! I tell you I am ready to get a Great dane now. Dan has been bugging me for one forever. I was nervous cuz of their size and the kids but seeing Abby totally changed my mind.

Triss...we had a Great Dane when I was a kid. It was the most gentle dog we ever had. A big ole gentle giant!

I hope you get one!

See there is another endorsement. I have been doing a lot more research and everything I have read and now seen leads me to believe that Dane's are one of the most gentle dogs around. We need a bigger place and a yard though. But as soon as that happens, I will be getting one or two

Oh, man...I have corrupted you again. You may need to stay away from me!

No, this time you do not get the blame as Dan has been working on me since I met him for a Dane. I just always like having TWO dogs so they have a canine companion all of the time.

What a happy looking bunch! So glad you got to get down into Oregon Triss! Next time, put me on the list somewhere! (Our drive-through zoo is awesome!) Take a look at Wildlife Safari.

I emailed you Patty but you never got back to me. We have been through that wildlife safari and it was way cool. Will have to do it again since we have more kids now. Lys was just a baby when we did it.

I will be up that way again beginning of April.

~~~~~>Alright Sarah,
Give me the perspective on the size of bed
Abby is on top of???
She is beautifulllllllllll!!!
*I told you I'd seen those two jet black sisters,
and I would have taken them home in a heart beat,
they were soooo sweet, but they were $300 a piece

Weezie,

That bed is about the size of a baby crib mattress, in fact Sarah uses one of them for Abby in the room. And I am gonna give her mine once the baby is outta the crib as a back-up.

Lys is really into posing, I have another one of her at the park with her posed almost exactly the same, it is too funny!

Patrick is about 5'4" and about ready to pass me up in a few more inches. He is getting up there and has not even hit his teen growth spurt yet.

It's nice to be able to put a face with the name. Nice pictures gals.

~~~~>Well Triss, he's wayyyy taller than I am!
Holy cow!! He will be a very tall boy when he finally stops growing, won't he???

I kept looking at the picture of the bed,
and how she looked like she was the length
*or width* of the bed and I'm nooooooo wayy.
even for a single, she looked huge on it..
*rethinks, maybe very good idea I didn't get those two jet black sisters, I'd have no room in my house*

My niece who lives in Arizona has Dane...
He's HUGE...she's even on a great dane forum I think too, don't know the name of it though!!
*My brother who lives in Oregon has a girl Mastiff, and she's 140lbs*

Yes it is Tamara...
I got to seeeeeee youuuuuuuu on your digi cam post!!!
Very cool little gadget that must be!!!

Weezie, Abby is 32" tall at the shoulder, and 42" from nose to butt. Triss is right, that is about the size of a crib matress, a little bigger...it's a futon mattress folded in half. She loves it.

How tall are you Weezie? His father was 6'3" so I expect him ot be that or even taller.

On Abby, the baby is just shorter than Abby's back and Lys is probably shorter than her head when she is standing. It is just wild that she is such a big dog but so sweet and gentle. (though Sarah was worried Abby would knock the kiddos all over the place)

Wow! I'm only 5 feet tall...that dog would come up to my chest!!! She is just gorgeous Sarah. And so are you!!
I would love to get another dog..I would love a Great Dane. Unfortuanately, there's no way I could afford a pure bred dog. When people ask me what kind of dog mine is, I always say, "Appalachian Possum Hound". Of course I just made that up...but you'd be so surprised how many people will say, "Wow, I've never heard of that kind before." And I'll say, "Well, they're a rare breed, in fact, this is probably the only one you'll ever see"

Triss, you are your children are just gorgeous!! I just love seeing pictures!
