Help -
I am moving to Minnesota in 2 weeks and I need some information and
advice from all of you.  First, do you have any information on Pyr
groups in the Minneapolis area?  Second, how cold is too cold for my 8
month old Samson to be outside?  We are moving from Georgia to Minn.,
and I know he will love the climate change.  I will be moving into a
house with a huge backyard, and I was wondering if he would be able to
stay outside all day in the bitter months.  He doesn't have to, but I
know how much he loves to be outside.  Also, the home I am moving into
has and electronic fence.  Do those work with Pyrs?  It is goibg to be a
big change for him from start to finish.  

Any info on making a smooth transition from being and only pet, and a
basically inside dog, to a home with a sweet tempered lab and a
mischevious cat would be appreciated as well.  As you can see, I am in
for an interesting move.  

Oh, Samson's neutering went well, except that he cannot walk 2 feet
without sitting down and licking himself.  How long will this last? 
(his surgery was Oct. 8).

As a new Pyr mom I could not survive without this list!  Thanks!

Autumn and Samson the SuperPyr
