HURRAY for doghealer, that is soooo awesome   You are doing SUCH a great thing   I cannot wait to see some pics

YAY!! Yes, I am so happy to help this guy out. I love the feeling that I am helping a dog in need, I wish I could help more of them.    I just can't wait to pick him up. 2 more days!!! I have a feeling there is no turning back for me now and I am going to be involved with canine rescue for the rest of my life!!! I'll be happy to be the Tennessee branch of the up and coming BPO rescue league!!

Wooo hooo, you get to pick up Ranger tomorrow. I've had lots of emails from my Pyr email list talking about him, and they think that he is all Pyr, no collie what so ever. So you have to send us picks so we can get a better look at him  I am so excited for you

You know, I was thinking the same thing because wouldn't his face be so much more narrow if he was a collie mix? I can't wait to see him in real life! And dispel the mystery!
I am going to have to leave Nashville at 5 am! Ouch! I wonder what time Starbucks opens?

Your right he would have a smaller headand nose if he had some collie in him. Most people forget that not all Pyrs are white, they can have color in them. I have an old pic of Dilbert, but you'll notice they have the same color on there face.

[Kermit]

I used to think that all pyrs were solid white, because that was all I had ever seen. I also thought all newfoundlands were solid black. And I even worked in a pet store and a vet's office, I should have been more savvy! I guess we just didn't see a lot of those big fluffy breeds down in Georgia.

Sammy had lots of color as a pup but very light markings now...I think it's been said that only 18% of Pyrs keep their color into adulthood...Sa mmy at 5 & 1/2 months.

I grew up in Georgia but I moved up north (haha) to Nashville, Tennessee. It's odd, I think it's hotter here than it was in Georgia.
And tomorrow I'm driving up to Kentucky YAY!!!! I want to go to bed right now so it will hurry up and be morning.

Get a good nights sleep, you are going to need it.  The week I had Sugar Bear I think I just stayed up most of the night so I could take him to potty, but really it was so I could watch him sleep. He was just a little doll.  I bet Ranger will sleep most of the time in your car.  So he will be ready to play when you get back.  Be safe on the road.

I can't wait to see Pics of Ranger

Ok, here he is! Definitely a collie/pyr mix like they said! In person he has a long collie face, but the double back dewclaws to prove the pyrenees influence!
Everything was smooth sailing this morning, no car trouble, easy directions, easy pickup, and one gorgeous healthy dog!! No intestinal worms! No heartworms! Clean bill of health! YAY!!!! He was pretty nervous to come with me but he relaxed in the car and napped most of the way home. Then he threw up his breakfast in the back seat AS we were pulling up to my house! Poor guy!
Now he is in the kitchen, he is not sure he wants to meet Zoot and Nigel. He seems very sad and unsure, but it seems like he trusts me. When I am in there with him he is glued to me, and he sits when I tell him to. He's so sweet. Nigel really wants to meet him but Zoot is not happy as of yet.
Without further ado, Ranger!
