Deb, thank you for the wonderful pictures of your new dog and your family. It's great to get to know you that way. I wish you all the luck in the world with your rescue pup. what a wonderful thing you've done to take in a lonely abused dog and turn him into the perfect family pet. He will reward you 10 times over with love. I had a rescue 24 yrs ago. tied to a step by 3 feet of rope, the building was being blown up. we took him in and what a winner he was. thanks again for sharing family and puppy photos. have the month of fun off from us.
