    Default Portrait of a Bear

    ...my "Bear" ....my new dog (Border Collie great Pyrenees) I got a month ago. Here he is off leash at the dog park. I took these to send to the Rescue society I got him from so they can see how great he's doing.






    Hard to believe he was almost put down b/c he was deemed "unadoptable" due to kennel anxiety at the humane society.
    Thanks goodness for Kim at "Heaven Can Wait" who picked him up moments before his scheduled euthanasia and took him to her rescue center where I found him.
    He is a truly awesome guy who is fitting in so nicely with me and I am honoured to have him in my life.

    You have yourself a beautiful companion Casil. Love the expressive looks on this fella'. So glad you found each other. For his sake, and yours.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Thanks B and HBG....he is really becoming a charmer now that he's coming out of his shell....especially with the ladies! He also has a real goofy personality, especially first thing in the morning!

    Thanks Ed, Marko and MA. Marko, he's really started to come out of his shell since you were here. He actually stood something down (a signpost with a piece of garbage bag stuck to it...lol...it was dark outside) and barked at it (X2) instead of running away (he's not barked at all since before that time). He has a very loud, deep and "big tough dog" sounding bark too...I was quite surprised when he finally let out his voice!
    MA, the vet figures he's about 2 years old and he has a really gentle soft temperament for a BC....but he does love to run, especially into water then out onto land!
