Pure joy in that first pic!
He's a little doll.
I have an 18 mo Golden/Airedale mix (we think). She's bigger than my other dog who is an Every-Flavor dog. He doesn't discipline her so much as tolerate her. She is very dog focused, and instead of greeting us like the other dog when we come home, she stalks him and attacks him. When he barks at the mail carrier, she barks at HIM barking at the mail carrier. He just tolerates her, and sometimes I see him modifying his behavior to prevent her from playing with her. My son's dog, an older female, I have caught holding Lucy down and biting her nose and Lucy getting contrite, but it doesn't last long.
All that to say that what you hope happens between your dogs might not. I hope it does!

Congratulations! I kept checking back to see when you got him. He is adorable and it looks like scenes at our house 6 months ago!
How surprised/excited was your daughter?
By the looks of those paws he is going to be a good size! Have fun and enjoy it.
My 9mo old just went off to hunting camp and now Oscar "the old man" is in heaven! He is acting like a pup who wants all the attention because Wally is gone for a while. Its pretty funny because he wouldn't fight for attention or toys when Wally was here. Now its all about him! I think he is enjoying being the only dog for a while.
I am glad Russo and Piner are getting along well. Trust me when it gets too rough he will put him in his place. Yeah new baby!

Em was stunned. We planned for a day of errands (they were going to build a house for the outdoor cat and we had to get the lumber), but first had to go get medicine for Russo at Guide Dogs. They were having a big socialization morning with dozens of little puppies out being played with and handled. I went in to talk to the woman and finish the papers, and Em stayed out and watched the little ones being played with. Then they came in to meet the training cat (GDB has an amazing cat named George that weeds out the cat chasers), and then the foster brought Piner in. When I told her he was hers, she couldn't believe it. I cried.
Turns out the foster lives a couple streets over. Small world.Sarah

Yellow dogs apparently show bike grease.
He has a bit of a chainring tattoo on his cheek this afternoon, bumping my bike as we walked down the stairs.
I guess that makes him a Fred.

Love your story and I am delighted that this little guy now has a wonderful, loving home. Congratulations. What a beautiful memory Em will have for the rest of her life!
