Welcome back. Someone said you had re-fired your BBS.
I remember them.
Dogs (and cats) are relatively short lived compared to
their humans.
There are currently three pooches at my joint. The oldest,
Jasper is a pit-bull mix and is 12 years old. Eva is a Heinz of uncertain
age and is a resuce ... my house-mate's son took her away from an abusive owner after offering to treat him the same way he'd been treating Eva.
And the third is a blue-tick beagle with the most annoying bark/bay.
Basicallly we're pooch-sitting ... but Jasper and Eva seem to have
adopted me. Isobel remains aloof - which is fine with me since she's a
PITA. When Stephan manages to re-locate I'm going to miss those two big
dogs. Izzy, not so much.

What flavour of shepherd? The "usual" German shepherd? Or an Australian shepherd? Or my favourite a Pyrenean Shepherd.
If I ever get a pooch of my own it will likely be a full sized standard poodle without the frou-frou hair-do. They are very intelligent, friendly
(if they know you) and territorial (good guard dogs).
At root I am mostly a cat person. But, I've got leather living room
furniture which I don't want used as impromptu scratching posts.
Does that guy have a name? It looks good but Meal Master expects the
title line to have something in it. Bv)=

them in terms of owning one.

She is a Central Asian shepherd-mix.. Her ears and tail look like that breed - her coloring is very much like a standard shepherd :)
