Oh my gosh! We have absolutely been so lucky to get him ! He has adapted so well it is unbelievable. He and Gus stay in the house all day long by themselves, no problems, no accidents. They go out and play anytime they get a chance, and they have become best buds. I took him to the vet for weight on Jan 2, and he weighed 116 lbs. So he is gaining slow but sure. He likes to run a lot, so he doesn't gain as fast as I had hoped. We have given him several baths, ( my hubby installed a doggy shower in the basement) and we have absolutely no complaints. If you would like me to send you another couple of pics I can. I think it would be great to have him on the success stories page! I read those, and I was thinking of putting him in there myself. Thank you sooooooooo much. He is such a blessing in our lives. a lot of times I just lay on the floor and hug him. He is a loveable and totally awesome dog. Keep in touch and let me know if you need more pics! Mary
