Kia Ora (hello) and welcome to PT, as you can see we come from all parts of the world here and I am from Down Under, New Zealand, proud owners of my two kitties in my siggy below, you will have a ball here, it is a great place just to come and have a vent, a laugh, get serious, become educated, the sky is your limit, so many people, so many pets, just not enough hours in the day to spend here, hope you can post pics of your dogs soon and let us know all about your new dog. Have a ton of fun.
