Topic: Doggie playdates!

Hi!  I live in Northeastern Queens and I'm looking for playdates for my 2 Leonbergers.  Your dog should weigh at least 100 lbs, my guys are big, my female, Julie, is 113 lbs and my male, Gable, is 147 lbs. If you are interested, please contact me at Sunapeeleos@gmail.com  We could meet at a dog park for our first meeting to see how our dogs get along.  Look forward to hearing from you.
