What a great story! And what wonderful faces!! They're both adorable. Good for you, Tulip, for making room for them in the station wagon!

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.

Gorgeous. I'll bet someone is looking for them.
My son has a GP mix, and he sheds BUCKETS. I have to do dog hair eradication after he leaves, and you would not believe the clumps of white hair and where it ends up, only after a couple of days.
My son has taken to combing him every day when he gets home from work. It barely makes a dent.

That would surprise me. Neither were fixed (they are now, apparently), and the collar on one was so tight I'm surprised she could breathe. There are alot of farms in that area, and so they might have been dumped if the farmers ran into trouble financially and had to sell the farm or the flock. Those dogs don't run away from their place. Since neither were fixed, they could also have come from a puppy mill. Who knows. They are so friendly, though. In any case, the rescue group knows what to do and I'm sure they'll do a good job in getting them in appropriate homes.
