Just my male and he's semi-retired now.  He gets to spend his days lounging

There are nice people in the show world but you know that movie "Best In

Rescue dogs are wonderful.  I just wish first time dog owners knew what it
takes to own one.  The person I got my bitch from was given to her as a
birthday gift by her b/f. Once they split, she didn't have time for it. When I
saw Savannah (her name) for the first time I fell in love with her.  Three
weeks later she was sitting in my living room.  She's smart when she wants to
be... typical woman... ;) My boy thinks he's King... the bastard.. ;)
