Gypsy,
In 20 years of breeding Pyrs, I have yet to look at my dogs and not feel a little tug on my heart. I was looking at one of the pups this am. We named him Pippin. If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings, and know who Pippin is, you will know this dogs personality exactly! He was sitting in his run, he is still in with his dad and mom because he prefers it. He was sitting facing his dad and started barking and growling at him (Pippin is 13 weeks old). Warrior, his dad, just reached over and put his "Big Paw" pardon the pun, right on top of his head and just set there like that. And me with no camera handy...lol These dogs touch my very soul. Gandalf is laying at my feet sound asleep and snoring and I even love that...lol
Not sappy... just your true feelings
