I am on mix number 2 at the moment. We have only had him a few months. We adopted him from the Boulder County Humane Society. They knew nothing of his history. He was a transfer from a Humane Society in another state. They guessed he was a stray, about 1.5 years old, and a Great Pyrenees mix. I was not looking to adopt a dog but perhaps foster one and had visited with a handful of dogs over the previous couple of weeks. Then I met Lou, I looked in his eyes, visited with him and was hooked. I made my (soon to be) husband go down with me to meet him and he too fell in love. We brought him home the same day and he has proved to be a great addition to our household. We just love the big goofball!
I had to put my old dog down this past December after having him for 8.5 years and knowing him for 10 (very sad). He was a Newfie/Lab mix and lived to be 13.5 years old. He originally belonged to a friend of mine who had 2 cats, 2 other dogs, 2 hedgehogs and a son. I use to watch the whole crew when she left town. Well Elvis (the Newfie mix) decided he was mine after about a year of this. He started obeying me better than he had ever obeyed her and when her older dog die she asked if I wanted him – since he had all ready chosen me. I am glad he did, he was my loyal companion for a long time and is dearly missed. I have attached his photo and will attach one of my Lou dog (the Pyr mix) when I get one transferred to the computer. I love the gentle giants.
