Thanks for your comments... My wife has been collecting ornaments since she was a little girl. Originally Posted by Tronhard

Serena is a beautiful dog in all ways. I just love her! She is gentle. loving and obedient, Although she is on the small size for a purebred Great Pyrenees, at about 65-pounds, she is plenty big enough to deter a coyote from climbing our fences and intruding into our property. It is amazing to see gentle Serena turn into a raging Ninja Cujo if any predator comes sniffing around our fence line. She is also very protective of us. Serena will accept new people if we introduce them but, until she decides that the person is O.K., she will normally place herself between the new person and her family. However, we introduced her to a new guest for Thanksgiving, a rather frail lady over 90-years old. Serena automatically computed that the lady was no threat to us and just went up to the guest and smelled her hand.
Happy Holidays to you and yours...Last edited by rpcrowe; 8th January 2022 at 07:11 PM.

Re: I am not a fan of selfies but,
Very nice Richard (BUT you should SMILE ;-)).
Love the shots of you and your girl!! Really impressive
Ours are similar in terms of new people (some of which is due to isolation from COVID, weather, etc., rural location in previous home).... We are beginning to work with them in our new location to help them get more comfortable with strangers. A much more vibrant and engaged neighborhood should help.Last edited by lovelife65; 6th January 2022 at 06:35 PM.

Re: I am not a fan of selfies but,
The Great Pyrenees genes make them a bit wary of strangers. However Serena gets friendly with people pretty quickly.
Our gardener was here this morning and Serena just loves him. She hangs around him all the time he is here. He is very careful to keep the gates closed.
Right now, our pool maintenance guy is here and Serena loves him too.
However, we had an electrician here the other day and Serena never warmed up to that guy.
What I like about the Great Pyrenees bred is that they are not biters. The use their size and bark to warn off intruders. However, a full size male can reach well over a hundred pounds and can break the back of a coyote with one bite!
