How time has flown :)
Logged on to the site today, first time for a long time.
I realised how time has flown, I have been in sunny / snowy/ windy and beautiful Alberta for 8 years and 3 months. Hubby been here 7 years and 6 months. Now Canadian Citizens as of March 2016. I have moved up the career ladder in work, to the level I was in the UK, have a great acreage and view of the mountains, two gorgeous Pyrenees/ Maremma puppies (well 4 and 2 years old). Still loving it and not even contemplating a move back to the UK. |

Re the bolded text...:wub: What a beautiful combination of breeds... you can't just drop that into a post without showing us a photo of the likely huge beauties :cool: |

Not sure if this will work.
The dog standing is Bernie the Male, 4 years old and the other is LoobyLou the female 2 years old http://britishexpats.com/forum/attac...1&d=1509929910 http://britishexpats.com/forum/attac...1&d=1509929910 |
Re: How time has flown :)
As expected beautiful- initially I felt more Pyrenean than Maremma but on second thoughts a nice 50% 50% split- do you have stock that they can show off their skills protecting?

Re: How time has flown :)
Hi, no stock for them to protect, but they have their paws full protecting us and the garage cats :)
Thank you for the compliment :) They are 50- 50 their father is a Pyrenees and mother is a Maremma. Looby looks more Maremma than Bernie and she has the barking tendency, where as Bernie has the infamous Pry paw actions. I am biased but they are fantastic dogs and I feel so safe with them around . |

That is quite a downsize from Pry, St B and then Burmese LOL.
I must admit I am not a small dog fan. |

Re: How time has flown :)
Oops Stinkypup, sorry I did mean Bernese and not the cat variety :) :)
To be truthful we only have the cats as mousers :) Am I forgiven? |
Re: How time has flown :)
Shakyuk,
Where in Alberta are you moving to? We are near Rocky Mountain House and work in Red Deer. Good luck with the move and enjoy your new adventure :) |
Re: How time has flown :)
Congratulations.
The dogs you have appear to be the standard acreage dog in Alberta. Do you keep them inside or do they have the run of the property? |
Re: How time has flown :)
Hi They are the standard LGD's here for farms etc.
They spend most of the time outside, they are loving it just now as they prefer to be out in the snow :) |

We drove through Red Deer, it seemed like a very nice small town. We're planning on moving to Calgary to begin with to make use of the public transport and hopefully get jobs asap. Long term we'd like to live rurally, maybe within commuting distance of Calgary or if we can find employment, just live and work rurally. That's the plan anyway! Do you have an acreage? How do you find country living? |
