"Dozer's" pic is really too dark for you to see him. He is such a sweetie - even though he's a working stud dog, he's a big baby and as affectionate as he can be. We also met his mom, who was bred in England, and his dad as well. All great dogs.

We've hijacked this thread, haven't we? LOL

Well, come one, come all, purebred (OK, dog of any kind [OK, animal]) lovers come and share your delight with your beloved companions, friends, puppies, kitties, iguanas, etc.

Well, I have to admit it has been a few years since I have had Yazmine (my and my ex's Shepherd). What I DO have is a 21-year old kitten (that is something like 107 in human terms) that runs the household. Her sister passed away about 3 years ago (at 18 which was still in her 90's).

One thing I think we can agree on is that heaven has our pets and that when they pass they become additional guardian angels to watch over us silly humans (who need their help, undoubtedly).

My preference is that my current Queen Of The House wait a few more years before she starts watching over me with her sister.

I hope and pray your baby stays with you for many many years to come.
