Of course! They knew "we're going home!"Originally Posted by tulip
They are great dogs.Back in the day a family friend, photographer and painter Otto and Hansel Hagel had a pair of GP's. The Hagel's would drive into town in their convertible and the two dogs took up the whole car. The top would be rolled down, the dogs would surveying the town. What a sight, these two huge white dogs in the back of the white convertible.
Friendly, gentle, intelligent, magnificent dogs.
Thank you for rescuing them.

Tulip, what wonderful story! I'm so glad you were able to take them home and get them to the rescue. You have great control - I don't know if I could have let them go

I miss them! But Shiloh would not have approved, and I would have had to spend big bucks on a fancy vacuum cleaner for those two. Hopefully they'll be placed on a farm or at least somewhere that they can be outside alot.
In a very strange twist of fate, I had a meeting with a client yesterday and mentioned the whole ordeal and he said that they are looking for two GPs for their farm, and have been in contact with the same rescue lady looking for two that are good with sheep. So maybe, just maybe, they'll end up on my client's farm...wouldn't that be interesting!
My niece named them Rosie and Gus.
