Thanks. The collar is on loan from the fosterer until my tags come in, but it's a neat collar. I'm afraid I'm much more low-key than she is. I bought him a black collar and a flourescent orange reflector collar for night walks. His new harness (gentle leader) will be red (the fosterer makes them).

Shiloh's a "he" by the way. Despite Brangelina's daughter, Shiloh is a Hebrew name for a boy. It's also a Civil War Battle in Tennessee that pretty much ensured Union victory in the west (General Beauregard didn't attack the Union troops at night, allowing reinforcements to come in and defeat the Confederates and then continue on into Mississippi). Shiloh is just a good southern dog name, too. But most importantly, it sounds like "Shadow," which was his name before I got him.

Except for the squirrel obsession, he's a great dog. Even that, though, is amusing. I just don't know how to respond to a squirrel sighting and the subsequent incredible level of concentration on that squirrel (or tree where he saw a squirrel yesterday!). He won't budge!

Three, that is one good looking hound dog. I love hounds. I considered a Pound Hound but then met Shiloh.
