Our wonderful pets

[xaza]

I have noticed a lot of people on here talking about their pets and thought I would start a thread to show them off and tell us a little something about them. Here are my 2 boys. Chief the Rottweiler has been with us since he was a little fluff ball. He is a little bit of a spaz, but I blame that on his seizures. Mitchell is our big loveable lug. He was at 226 lbs but we put him on a diet because he is getting old and was having trouble getting up and navigating stairs.

[Brody]

Nice thread! Thanks for starting it! Love the pictures!

We both miss having animals and we will have to wait until we move back to our Englewood house before we can have a dog (or two) again. As it stands, we enjoy every minute of babysitting Ash and Karla's dogs when they go on vacation....

[ColoRaider]

This is our spoiled brat, our 8 yo mal named Shiva.

[Mesomelas]

Dogs are pretty much the greatest thing ever. The bigger, the better.

Here is my malamute, 4 years old

[ColoRaider]

Gorgeous dog.. I love the Mals... We used to have 3 of them, pretty much the only dog I will ever own again.

[GaryG]

I think the cats should get some recognition too. Here are my 3 hanging out...

[Heather]

We have Cooper, a Min Pin we adopted from the Humane Society, and Sierra, a Boxer from the same place (shown here with evidence of her propensity for cat sh*t, as that is the top to the litter box at that time, and, well...there's stuff on her nose), and Momo, a Katrina rescue kitty (Valentine's '06 gift from Chris, the allergic), and a sample Leopard Gecko, of which we have six. Not pictured is Stella, the small black Ninja cat (also a gift from the allergic one). Oh, and Skyler's ratties. He has two; Samantha and Lucy. Lucy's nekkid.

[Heather]

He was at 226 lbs

WOW!! Is he a Dane, or something else??

[Haku]

I'm currently dogless, but until a few years back I had Haku...

I moved to Upstate New York about 5 years ago and wasn't sure if I would be able to find a place there where I could keep him, so he went to live with my Mom. I did find a place that I could have him, but by the time I had enough time to go home and get him my mom was already too attached and I felt too bad to take him back. I still babysit him sometimes, but I miss having a dog around for sure. People keep posting "my dog needs a new home" threads on CO4x4 and I get tempted to do it, but haven't given in yet.

I got Haku at Lifeline Puppy Rescue in Brighton, and would highly highly recommend it to anyone looking for a puppy. They go to shelters that can't afford to vacinate and take care of puppies in a bunch of different states and bring them to Brighton every week. Haku came from the Taos Pueblo Indian Reservation shelter. They do a great job, and its a much nicer way to get a puppy then spending insane amounts of money with a breeder or getting it from a questionable source at a Pet Store.

[Mesomelas]

Love the bottom picture of Haku

[Mesomelas]

More epic dog pictures needed

[xaza]

yeah, Mitchell is a Great Dane. Wow Heather you sure got a lot of pets. That boxer looks like he has a great personality. These are some great pics and some wonderful animals

[Coonburger]

here is our babies mally and chloe. Mally is a husky mix and Chloe is a english mastiff
Mally's was actually named by my father*god rest his soul* who was part of the little river band of ottawa indians and his actual name is ma'iingan in the native tounge Anishinaabemowin.

[4Runninfun]

Here is my pointing lab. If you've been on a trail run with me then you've seen him. He goes everywhere with me.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/4runninfun/BlkfootSnow.jpg

And this picture isn't the best but it shows just how nuts he is about the snow. There may be only one small patch on snow in an entire field but that's where he'll be.

[ROKTAXI]

Ce Ce.............rescued from the local animal shelter at 6 week old. She's now 20 months old. Lives for snow in the winter and chasing lizards and rabbits in the summer.

[4Runninfun]

what kind of dog is ce ce? i like her(?) markings.

[Mesomelas]

Looks like GSD/Husky mix

[ROKTAXI]

.......Looks like GSD/Husky mix.......

Vet says the same thing. Calls her a "northern" dog. Built like a race horse. Definitely a looker! I take her for a 2 mile HIKE (not a walk) EVERY day down into Mill Creek Cyn. Not a mean bone in her body, but shy of people. Loves to play with other dogs. Summer is not her favorite time of year. Last winter she preferred to stay outside when it was single digit temps.

[Andrew]

Here's Callie, our cat.

[EldoradoFJ60]

Kuma is my beast. Father is Chow, mother is half Rottweiler and half Aussie Shepard.

Really neat dog. She almost looks like a black furred version of my dog Haku (a bit smaller maybe, but same style fur and build).

[Java]

Java is my dog, got her from the DDFL when she was 6, she's 8+ now and still going strong. She's an Aussie / Border Collie mix, maybe. We also have 3 cats.

Morning Glory Bridge, Moab; Lily Mtn.;
White Ranch Park; Mt. Princeton Hot Springs

[BlackRubi]

Sam and Max.
Sam (red one) is a Hungarian Vizsla/Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix. He was found on the roof of a house in New Orleans just after Hurricane Katrina. Needless to say, he is not a big fan of swimming.
Max is a Black Lab/Border Collie mix. We found him as a stray in San Antonio. He had no fur because he had chewed it all off. We found out he has/had an allergy to fleas. Don't know if he still does, and I don't really care to find out.

We also have a flamepoint cat. No pictures. His name is Unique. Don't ask me why.

[Squshiee1]

I love dogs! I have 4. i have 2 miniature dachshund's, 1 yellow lab, and 1 Shi-Tzu. i only have pictures saved of the yellow lab and Shi-Tzu.

[Chris]

Finally looked through these, cool pets! I've had a slew of cats and dogs but developed allergies to both and had to get rid of them. It was hard but breathing is kind of important, Barb misses the dogs immensely and probably goes on runs just because she knows someone will bring a dog.

Haku - Josh, I noticed the name also has another meaning in Hawaii. Apparently it relates to lei's made from real flowers.

[Haku]

I think it is awesome, and a bit scary, how many people who have their dog as their online namesake on here.

I'm seriously missing having a dog around. My sister just got a puppy (haven't met it yet), and it is yet again making me want to get one myself. I would ask to take Haku back, but I still think my mom would get grumpy at me if I brought it up. Funny how she loves talking about how much he costs her to keep, but wouldn't ever dream of letting him live with me full time.

[xaza]

Forgot about this thread. We had to put down our snowshoe last year. Somehow we inherited another Snowshoe(Millie) and a Flamepoint(Bea). Will get some pics of them found and posted. Here is another picture of my baby boy

[glacierpaul]

Our 'new to us' rotty turns out to be part cow:lmao: and the deer are my seasonal pets:rolleyes: took these the other day.

[xaza]

It is incredible what a rotty will eat and be fine, but when they eat something they can't digest it gets real expensive real quick. Chief was in hospital for 2 weeks after having a section of his large intestine removed. His seizures were ripping stitches open, they sent him home 3 times and we had to keep taking him back.

[glacierpaul]

All my breads of dogs that I have had have all eaten a little grass here and there, sometimes they yack sometimes their #2 has grass :) But she doesn't eat that much, I wouldn't let her either. That sucks about Chief, boy do I have dog stories:rolleyes:

[Rob]

gets real expensive real quick

Truth. Rufus, our 13-year-old mutt, is going in for surgery Tuesday to repair the cranial cruciate ligament in his left rear leg. Last year, he had a 13-pound tumor removed from his gut, along with his spleen, which the tumor was attached to. He's turned out to be an expensive pound puppy. No regrets, though. He's been part of the family for more than 12 years.

And my wife made sure he got his summer haircut before his surgery, since he's going to have to live in a doggie crate for a couple of weeks.

[Rob]

Here's Rufus with his winter coat, with our Irish wolfhound, Kyla.

[glacierpaul]

The lap of luxury...:)! "No regrets, though":thumb: Our furry kids deserve it for the unconditional love they give!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery for Rufus!

those are great pups

[Chris]

Nice pics gang!

Since I became allergic to dogs I have to have pseudo pets through my kids. Here's a photo of my daughters dog, Daisy post amputation. This along with Parvo, neutering and stomach stapling is one expensive dog!

This pic is 2 days post amputation. I'll get a current one up next.

[Jackie]

My daughter, Casey and her husband had their dog, Ollie get stuck under their back deck the other day. Poor Ollie looked like she was stuck in a position where she was having trouble breathing. Casey and Trent went to town ripping boards off the deck to get to her out, but the "reverse" mode on their drill failed...

They continued to hack-away at it with screw drivers until they got her out and were planning to go out today to buy some chicken wire before they put the deck back together again!

That dog is a trip!

[Chris]

My daughter just came and picked up her kids and she had the dog with her. It's a lousy pic but good enough. She's just a puppy and doesn't sit still very much but my daughter was showing Daisy's latest trick - "Shake" which involves a bit more than with 4 legged dogs. :thumb:

[Jackie]

She's adorable, Chris!

We are looking to add second dog to the family, I am looking for large breed/mix that is great with other dogs and small kiddos, got to watch out for the grand kids' safety. Found a couple Mastiffs and Coon dogs but Ms. Val keeps going to the midsize breeds.

[xaza]

You want a large breed that is good with kids, dogs & cats, Gentle Giants - Great Dane :D

This is a large breed adoption place, application is rather extensive and they prefer large breed experience.

Agreed, my daughters (above) is a Great Dane/St Bernard mix. Not only are they good with kids and dogs and cats they don't require an awful lot of exersize. The same applies to Burmese Mountain dogs.

The first time we ever heard of the breed, we were at the shelter looking at this one. :)

I found a picture of both my li'l angels. You can see the natural coat for the Affie.

In the winter she likes to go outside and sniff around, her head dissapears in the snow. One time she came in with snow stuck to her face, with two little black eyes looking at me. She looked like a damn Moon Pie with legs!

Thanks that is one of the local places we were checking out, they had a amazing Mastiff that we wanted to look into adopting but he was already gone.

Nice looking dog Sean!!I learned a lot from that show as well! I could learn more about working with small dogs, but we don't have that channel anymore, and the Affie likes to bark at all the animals on the TV. Maybe I'll break down and buy the damn book. :mad:

[Cr33p3r]

Cisar does have lots of great tips we are trying some of them out now.

[glacierpaul]

The show 'My cat from hell' is pretty good too. Both guy's really are in their zone with animal behavior and humans too, after all we need just as much training as any animal :).

These are from CO4X4....

Cats rule, dogs DROOL! :D

[glacierpaul]

Our past cats actually walked with us and our dogs up here. The first could only be harnessed with a leash, but our last cat walked off leash with the dogs. I will find those old pics and post up, not often you see a cat out for a walk with dogs in tow :)

[glacierpaul]

These are the last pics of our last cat Bug-a-boo, this was 2 years ago after we put our last dog down, up here by the house. The pics of the dogs and cat together are on the other drive, will try to find some. The pics of Bug-a-boo snuggling our 100+ pound shepard are the greatest!

[Jackie]

I think I've just about always had a cat. I had one that I named Charlie (a girl cat) that would go with me everywhere. No leash needed. She was a Calico and the smartest animal on the planet.

We are currently "potty-training" Bella to use the toilet instead of a litter box. I really hope this works... the process is a bit of a mess, but the pay-off will be great!

Bug-a-boo is a doll!!!

[glacierpaul]

Bugs had to be put down pretty close to after that pic was taken. He was an indoor/outdoor cat and one night he did not come in for the night. A day later(we were frantic) he showed back up with his tongue sticking out and a large sore on it. He would not come to me, and disappeared for another 2 days. When he was at the door again I grabbed him up and we took him in to the vet immediately, at this time he really stunk bad like death. His tongue was bitten by something and he had already succumbed to gangrene in his mouth on top of infection. We opted to put him down rather than remove tongue and hope for the best with antibiotics. This was the first death our kids have been thru, they still say they see Bug-a-Boo's ghost here and there at home or on walks.
Jackie, when I was a child my aunt had a Siamese cat that was toilet trained, it is one of the coolest things I have seen. The cat guy on TV is opposed to the practice, but I figure to each their own. Not having to deal with a litter box...priceless!!

[xaza]

Absolutely agree about litter boxes. I hate them. Caught a video of Chief playing with his ball. He is always tuckered out by the time I get the camera out there but got a little.

We got this kit at PETCO called the "Litter Kwitter". It came with everything you need and an instuctional DVD that showed cats doing their business in a toilet. My husband someone whose cat actually learned how to flush after use!

[glacierpaul]

That was the cool part of my Aunts cat, he flushed!! Then would meow at you and want outside :)

[xaza]

My poor Rotty had a rough day yesterday. He is having trouble breathing, took him to vet and he has a sinus infection and got put on antibiotics. Then last night we were in backyard working on wife's truck and a skunk got in the yard, needless to say he went after it and got sprayed. Looking into it more found out skunk spray in the eyes can cause blindness for 2 days, thank god he seems fine. Wife made a solution of peroxide, baking soda and something else to clean him up.

[glacierpaul]

Tomato soup bath always works. Man do I hate skunks, got plenty of experience! Not as bad as a porcupine though trust me!! or raccoon for that matter:erm:

You got that right! I know my cat's paws are cleaner (no stomping around in a filthy litter box) therefore my whole house is cleaner.

We're almost there... Just a small amount of litter for her to scratch at. She likes to scratch some into the hole before she does her business, but that's OK. That will slowly be eliminated.

Sorry, Bella...had to do it...!

Puppers down..
can we get a moment of silance !!

[xaza]

It was quite a new experience for us. In the unfortunate event that someone needs to have their pet put down I highly recommend the guy we used. Price was pretty close to the same as taking him in to be put down but he came to our house and did it here. He sat down with my daughter and us so we could talk about things and my daughter could ask any questions she had. He made a clay paw print for us and will be dropping the ashes off at our Vets office so we can have a burial for him.

Very sorry to hear Cliff, been thru that with our family too. That vet sounds way cool! Hope your daughter is coping ok. Our kids say they see the ghost of our last cat, every so often.

[otisdog]

Sorry for your loss. We went through it last year with our 15 year old Corgi. One of, if not, the toughest day of my life.

Sorry for your loss Cliff, great guy to take the time with you and your daughter.

On a lighter note, our daughter's tripod made a new friend today - 6 legs between the two of them.

so sorry about Mitchell, Cliff. That is such a harsh reality, I hope your grief passes quickly.

We learned of a Rottweiler in desperate need of a good home and have finally made it official that he is coming to our home. He is a year old and needs all basic training including housebreaking. He weighed 88 lbs when we took him to our vet for an inspection and to get things prepared for him to be neutered and shots updated. Bought him his new collar and tags today and enrolled both boys into a 6 week training class. Neuter happens on Friday and training 2 weeks after that. Terrible timing as we are preparing the house to sell and find one with a garage but we hate the bad rap breeds get because of irresponsible owners and had to rescue him. His name is Max.

[94ToyBear]

That's great ! !

[Jim]

Great!

Are the two getting along decently?

[Java]

Lucky dog!! :thumb: Rotties are great dogs, they all are until the wrong person shows up. I'm sure he'll be awesome when you're done training him!

[xaza]

Yeah they are doing great together. We brought him over for a trial weekend and we didn't get any sleep but the boys grew a good relationship. Chief is a bit older and gets tuckered out but they have been pretty civil about working things out themselves. We bought Max a pheromone collar that will hopefully help tonight (no sleep last night). If that doesn't work, as a last resort we have a static bark collar to use. Might just drink a little heavy tonight and sleep through it all :lmao:

Congrats Cliff.

We have the same ball for our boys, actually just got 2 more new ones because that was the only toy Chief has played with that lasts longer than 15 minutes. Last one lasted 2 years. Good looking group.

[xaza]

An update on our new psycho dog, Max. He got neutered, immunizations, microchipped and dew claws removed leaving him wearing the cone of shame for last 2 weeks. He goes in tomorrow to get stitches removed from legs and hopefully we get thumbs up to return him to normal play. It has been rough keeping him in the kennel so much but had to keep the boys apart to prevent playing and licking. He learned our schedule very quickly and we ended up never using the static collar. He is hard on e collars, 10 days = 10 e collars. Last couple we cut down and made them last longer. We start our formal puppy training next week. We weaned him off the Puppy Chow the previous owner was using and both boys are on same food now. They like to switch bowls and see if I notice, might get away with it when the cone is gone.

[Serious Offroad]

Cone of Shame!!!

[xaza]

Both of our boys completed their first level training, already signed up for level 2 and 3. At completion of level 3 they will have an opportunity to take a test for AKC Canine Good Citizen. They manage to earn that award and they can be on track to be therapy dogs.

The boys completed their Canine Good Citizen test in January of this year. Max is doing great and is very smart. Took him hiking for the first time a couple weeks ago to Alderfer/Three sisters Park. We lost Peaches in March so we are a cat free home now.

Max has decided he is my cuddle bug that needs attention constantly.

This last weekend was a tough one for us. We ended up putting Chief down after getting another blockage in his intestine. He also had a blood clot in his heart and we decided it was best to let him go.

my 14 year, 4 month + old dog Java. She's a machine, she hiked the entire Rawhide Trail at White Ranch Park last week.

[xaza]

Back in July we made a trip to Nebraska to see family. My cousin had a Rotty she needed homed for an extended period of time. We took Max and introduced them and they loved each other immediately. We brought her home and she has adjusted well. She is much smaller than the boys, 90 lbs when we brought her home. She is much more agile and has endless energy. Look forward to some hikes with her when we get her better on leash. Max is in the blue collar.

Java turned 15 yesterday, and she did it in style at the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. She We've taken her there every year since we adopted her in 2009 and I have a pic of her in the same chair every year- check out page 2 of this thread. She also went for two short hikes and had lunch at a campsite off 376A in Fourmile, despite significant hearing loss and arthritis she still loves adventures. She is going to live forever.

There is no snow up there, most of the roads are completely clear- the other pic is of the hot springs, we were in a Cliffside room so you can see over the whole resort. If anyone in interested this month they have $99.00 rooms Sun-Thurs, which is a stellar deal they don't advertise too heavily. We paid 131 a night with the pet fee and it was empty- there were 8 people in the big pool last night, no one in the steam room or Japanese soaking pools.

[xaza]

Seeing a little more grey from last year but Java is aging great.

You guys are hurting me with your dog pictures. Honestly, I view them as a kid would look at a bicycle, just hoping he could have one just like that! I am in the market for a pup, that will grow old with me. I thought I had some preferences, but I am keeping that open for the time being. Would like to find one under a year old.

I am in the market for a pup, that will grow old with me.The bigger the dog, the shorter the lifespan. The smaller the dog, the more room you have on the couch, bed, whatever! ;)

Java, the ridiculously durable dog, on Grand Mesa this weekend. She went swimming, hiking and exploring on the backroads between Debeque and Molina, over 600 miles of driving including some offroading and she's good to go this morning. 15 years, 4 months old. :thumb:

[Java]

Java swimming at Prospect Park yesterday. 15 years, 7 months and 16 days old, she has good days and bad ones. Last week she had 5 grand mal seizures in a day, I thought it was over... but apparently she isn't done having fun yet. :thumb:

[JGRubicon]

Old dogs never cease to surprise you. Thanks for giving her a good life so far Paul.

:thumb:

[xaza]

Paul, do you have Java on any meds for seizures? Chief had the same issues until we found a good mix of potassium bromide and phenobarbital. Doesn't help if they have a tumor causing seizures.

[Java]

unfortunately she has a suspected brain tumor that is causing all her issues- the vet ruled out everything else that is common but we're not doing a lot of testing on an old dog to verify it. there is no rhyme or reason to how that will progress, or possibly heal or possibly kill her while I'm writing this; she is walking better this week than all of last month, and oddly all of her lumps and old dog bumps disappeared over the last couple of weeks and her eyes are clear and her fur looks great. Without puting her through a lot of tests the vet can't tell us anymore, and I'm not doing that to my dog. Keeping her active and her diet clean is all I can do, so we're on it. The oldest border collie on record was 29, you never know...

[JGRubicon]

Here is Bandimere, whom we are currently fostering. He appears to be a French Mastiff, but he'd have to be the runt of the litter, hes 20 to 40lbs shy of a typical weight. He drags his knuckles to a point that they bleed, he is absolutely untrained other than knowing his name, and he has some sort of skin infection that Bruce now has, but we are figuring it out.

That said, he is a sweetheart, he is really easily spooked, espically by men, but he is warming up and running away less after just a week, so there is a lot of hope for him.

He will most likely become permanent, but for now, Molly is pretenting she could just foster. :blah: :rolleyes: :D :lmao:

I do not know how we keep fumbling into awesome dogs, but I am not complaining.

My hound Sonny

[Java]

My new dog, Kix. We drove to Grand Junction on Wed to meet him, we'll be bringing him home for good in the morning. He hiked Devils Canyon 3, the Mica Mine and an unnamed trail in McInnis today like a boss. He had never crossed water before, likely never seen running water and was scared of it at first. By the end of the day he was walking through streams. He's in amazing shape for an 11 year old.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrCwUuNeiaE

[Jim]

Cool!

From the first leash pic - is he a "puller"?

[Java]

He pulled a little, but mostly just stayed with us. He was so anxious in that clip, he had just left the shelter with new people and didn't know how to act. Its a wonderful shelter, but he's been there a while and is out of sorts. He's really trying to be the best boy he can be, it's sweet.

[Java]

Kix is awesome. Aside from a little seperation anxiety he's been amazing with everything, even our cats. I had to dig into his past, and the shelter doesn't tell anything, not even a name of the previous owner (good for them!) so I searched homes near Fruita that had sold this year. He's in picture #39 and 40 in his pen. https://www.zillow.com/homes/recently_sold/Fruita-CO/21839_rid/6m_days/globalrelevanceex_sort/39.222944,-108.685535,39.201098,-108.723987_rect/14_zm/

What a dump... JK! It's beautiful. My heart goes out to the family, it must have been something terrible to give up a dog like this after 11 years.

You did some solid sleuthing!!

Is there a reason to know?

`wonder how much time he spent outside of the pen. He'll enjoy going on hikes with you folks.

[Java]

just curiosity, they donated his pen too so I thought I might see it in a yard, I was expecting to see something rough. I'm so happy to see he came from such a nice place.

This brought tears to my eyes!! Congrats, you guys. Such a drive, and a "senior" dog. Boy, is he ever in for the best years of his life, with you two. (I love Jahna's hair!)

[Java]

Thank you so much Heather. I just showed this to Jahna and she said "oh my god she's so sweet! Tell her I said Thank You!!"
so I asked her "for what?"
"She said she loved my hair!"

[Brucker]

Congrats on the new family member! And thank you for rescuing, especially traveling to do so for such a seasoned fellow like Kix

[Java]

Before and after. Kix hadn't been bathed or groomed in so long they had to cut his collar off him at the shelter. We tried a lot of bathing and brushing, but he just had too many matts so I gave up and shaved him. After getting ridiculous quotes from groomers (up to $400.00) I decided to "learn how to fish" and spent $160.00 on a professional clipper and a #3 skip tooth blade. It took 4 hours over the course of 3 days but should never be that hard again. I found a staple and three live ticks on him. He's loving it, just cannot get enough of being pet or brushed.

[Heather]

That cut suits him so well! You did an awesome job!

Red Rock 4 Wheelers & Humane Society of Moab Valley present the First Ever JEEP SAFARI PET PHOTO CONTEST!


http://moabpets.org/news-events/jeep-safari-pet-photo-contest.html

[Java]

Said goodbye to my boy this week. He was happy and healthy, recently had a good checkup and started a new pain pill. No symptoms, no warning except his age, he was 14 and 4 months. He had a great day, got home from a nice walk and collapsed at 6:30, his mouth turned white inside. We took him to the emergency vet and put him down at 8:00, turns out a mass on his spleen ruptured and there was nothing we could do. Devastated doesn't even begin to cover it.

[Jaycifer]

I’m so sorry for your loss, looks like he had a great home where he was loved dearly

[Jim]

Sad news to hear.

You folks took him on many wonderful trips - I'm sure he enjoyed a good life with you.

[Java]

Just got back from my shortest Moab trip ever, about 16 hours total in Utah. Got there on Tuesday and went to https://underdogrescuemoab.org/ to meet some dogs and adopted Barnaby and hiked the Pinion Mesa trail on Sandflats at sunset (great short trail). They gave him that name and I like it, but I'm also considering calling him Leonard because he's lactose intolerant, learned that after giving him some cheddar before a car ride. He's about 18 months old and came from the Navajo reservation. His back is covered in scabs from being bitten by other dogs and his breath needs some help so he'll see the vet asap. He is really smart, sweet and fun but a little messed up too from his previous life. He's scared of me, not of my wife so I guess some guy was a dick to him. That will pass. Our hotel didn't take pets so we checked out and went back to Fruita and stayed at the questionable La Quinta. He went to Rabbit Valley, hiked Devils Canyon 1, 2 and 3, saw the National Monument and is back in Denver now at his new home and is getting along well with the cats. I've never had a small dog before, my last smallest was 56 lbs; he's 29 before they cut all his fur off, and probably full grown. Cool little dog so far!!

[Jim]

Cool! Congrats!

And true to form - step 1 is some time on wonderful trails - cha-ching
