Looking for a buddy at the Jersey Shore!

Hi everyone,

I'm located in Beachwood, N.J.

My boyfriend of 21 years (Might as well be married!)

has been diagnosed a month ago. Sure would like to find a friend close by.

Thanks,

Gail

Gail-

We have lots of members near you so I am sure someone will respond that is close to you. Is that your dog in the photo? It is adorable.

Hi Rochelle,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's my little buddy,

Rio Irving Krebs! He's a PBGV (Petite Bassett Griffon Vendeen) hence the nickname that I'm using, PebbyGeeby.

He's a wonderful little dog, he can always get a laugh out of me.

Not sure where Beechwood is. I am in burlington County--the shore isn't THAT far away!

Hi Gail,

Beachwood is in Ocean County, right next door to Toms River. So, we're pretty close to each other, After all, Atlantic City is regrettably only 45 minutes for my house!

I don't live in Jersey - but I am from there - Kinnelon - and i have family in Bayville, Brick and Howell - all real close to you! I just rented a cottage in Ocean Beach for a week this summer - The Jersey shore is my happy place when I am in the MRI!

I have also always wanted a PBGV - they are the cutest!

Hi Janet,

Yes, it seems that everyone has either friends or relatives in New Jersey. Lots of folks here!

I have read your profile, and it is one of the ones posted on this board that gives me the most hope! Sounds like you're doing so well, and I hope you just keep going and going.

Everybody should have a PBGV, wonderful, loving, little clowns. Rio had kept my spirits up through many difficult times lately.

All the best,

Gail
