Guest Shadow5555 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Hi All Just a bit about me. I am originally a country boy from the Eastern Townships in Quebec (Lennoxvile) and a Labrador retriever owner. I now find myself living in the city of Ottawa Ontario in a relationship with the most amazingly wonderful woman (Char AKA AroundTheHound). As a result I am the proud step dad of Isabelle and Chester. These two lovable Greys decided to ease me through the loss of my best Friend Shadow (the black lab in my profile pic) who passed away this summer. Char introduced me to the GT community and I love it. I am really looking forward to meeting GT people at the many events we will be attending in the future. Char has been telling me so much about everyone she knows. :-) and I feel it only fair that you all get a chance to meet me and tell stories about her.

Guest hamiesmom Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Robin, welcome to the group from another Ottawa person. I'm sure we will be meeting in the near future, as my 9yr old red fawn boy has a couple of Char's collars and looks fabulous with them on. I agree with Char, you did make a smashing Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp watch out. P.S. your daughter is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally believe Char is an Angel She has put up with me this long so she is definitely part Angel. Guess I will have to brush up on my southern speak. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Guest DogDayzGreyz Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Welcome, Robin! I'm so glad to "meet" you! I will likely meet you in person someday as I am a transplanted Ontarian and we go back quite often and have a plan to be back in the Spring and Char and I always TRY to meet up!
