A new family member!

• A new family member! sharismom Posted : 11/15/2006 5:01:30 PM It's been just a little over five months since Shari went to the Bridge.  I recently started volunteering at the shelter and realized how much I missed having a dog to walk.  And of course, as a canine companion in general.  On Friday after work, I'm going to pick up my new buddy.  The shelter named him Bear, and have him listed as either a Newfie mix or a Border Collie mix.  I can't hazard a guess except black lab w/something.  He's 2 years old.  The pics don't do him justice because of the cage, but once I get him home and cleaned up, I'll try to get another shot.   I'm not sure if I will change his name, but one thing at a time, I suppose!

• sharismom Posted : 11/15/2006 5:15:36 PM ORIGINAL: rwbeagles Awww Tina...good for you, and for him. May your relationship with him be unique and wonderful! []   Thanks, everyone.    Yep, Gina, I was hoping the same.  I have been considering this a lot.  I met him at the shelter a couple of times and he is just a big sweet baby.  I was worried about comparing a new companion to Shari.  Because he's a boy and not a northern breed, that'll be a help.  I've already got a new crate for him, a dish, collar & leash.  He's getting neutered tomorrow.  Oh gosh, I have to straighten up the house and make a spot for him!! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• marty_ga Posted : 11/15/2006 5:36:45 PM He looks like a sweetie, even through the cage.  Shari will be happy that you found another special pet to share your life with.  And Bear...I can see the grin from here! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Laurelin_429 Posted : 11/15/2006 10:08:18 PM He looks like a big teddy bear.  My friend has a big flat coat she rescued a couple years ago named Bear that he reminds me of.  So it seems like a fitting name to me.  I'm sure you could come up with a pretty name too.   He's so pretty!  Good luck with him.  He's a cutie.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
