peebygeeby Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 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. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebygeeby Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 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.

gail Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Not sure where Beechwood is. I am in burlington County--the shore isn't THAT far away! gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebygeeby Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 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! Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet B Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 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!

peebygeeby Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
