My home is filled with furry loved ones... two outdoor dogs, three indoor dogs and a cat (and the leopard gecko LOL) My 'puppies' are 7 months old now, they are a mix of Lab, Chow and German Sheppard... they are so precious to my heart! There are a few threads around here with the history of them and photos. I plan to take a new photo of them soon... I just have not gotten in gear and done it! LOL

Well, I picked my puppy up today & stopped & had her vet checked as well. I have named her Gracie. We have bonded so well already. We went for a trial run this afternoon on leash & she is a fantastic walking partner. I will take some pictures soon & post.
