I have only had Austin for a bit over a month, and there is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for him and nothing, short of his best interest, that would make me give him up. I have had four Saints in the past, and this one so "Saintly" that is is scary. My first Saint, Molly, died many years ago, I had her for 8 years, she helped to raise my kids, who are now 24, 28 and 29. I still miss her, and it is amazing to me how much Austin reminds me of her. I also had a Great Pyrannes (never could spell that) named Damion. Very different from the Saints, but a wonderful dog. My new baby is already the center of our lives, he is my husbands first Saint, he alway had Dane's in the past. He is spoiled rotten, but well behaved. He loves everyone and everyone loves him.
