Yes, they are.  He was certainly like one of "the kids"... and a goofy one
sometimes at that...

We still have his sister here, Sophie, she'll probably outlive both Ron and I
.

Yes, some dogs are hard to housebreak, then others are so easy to train. Our
last shephard was extremely easy to train.  She was a female like Gia so I
don't expect any problems with Gia with her training.  Boy I don't know why I
dislike the name Gia so much, but I do.  I can't wait to get her here so I can
come up with a name that "fits" her :)

hehe.. we had a cat once that ate all the wildlife in our area... he only left
a little tuft of fur, likely the end of the tail :(

Take care,
Janis
