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.

Gorgeous. I'll bet someone is looking for them.

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.

The shedding was incredible. After only a few hours in my car, I had to vacuum three times at the car wash. And yes, there were big tufts!

The poor sweet souls were lucky to find you and your family. They will be snapped up right away and a rescue will ensure they go to deserving homes.

You are a stronger woman than I because there is no way I could have turned those beauties over to anyone! Talk about love at first sight. Look at those smiles....

It sounds like they had been on the lam for awhile, particularly if one of the collars was tight (particularly if it was the puppy's collar).

They are gorgeous dogs, to be sure, but it was your mom's smiling, natural face that caught my eye in your photo. She is an absolutely beautiful woman! We should all hope to look so healthy and real at her age.
