November 25, 2007Double Trouble
Can you tell which one is Zosia? 
Are you sure? Our little girl had a big weekend. She was a single gal on Friday night, but now it's Sunday evening and she has a live-in boyfriend. M and I have discussed getting a second dog from time to time, but it didn't feel serious. On Saturday he suggested that we go look at dogs, which we do not do unless we're getting one. We went on-line and found "Bear" at the Burbank German Shepherd Rescue. He's Zosia's twin with about 15 more pounds of muscle, but unlike our sassy little girl, he is totally mellow. What a sweetie. It was love at first sight - for us and then for Zosh. We named him "Ash." The mellowness is incredible. He fits in perfectly, and as I write this all six of us - two dogs, two cats and two humans - are lying on the floor together snoozing and quietly watching football. So nice. I hope your weekends were peaceful as well and full of good food!

what a perfect name for him. beautiful photos too. Posted by: michele at November 30, 2007 08:15 PMGORGEOUS!! Of course, I'm partial to the GSD breed -- we have 3 of them here at home! So happy to see that you considered adoption -- I am the shelter manager for an animal shelter here in CT and also do GSD rescue and I can't even begin to tell you how many of these beautiful dogs don't make it out of harms way because the shelters and rescues are all full. You've given Ash a wonderful gift and have truly done a wonderful thing, here. Thank you for considering adoption! Sue (purlgirl on Ravelry). Susan Lydem Congratulations to the new addition to yur family!!! We have 2 White Shepherds and they are the sweetest ever ---- and Burbank German Shepherd Rescue is the best!!!! Sweet dreams everyone! Posted by: karen at November 28, 2007 02:10 PMWhat a pretty pair! My dad has always said that animals should have a friend of their own kind to keep them company (could be why our house resembled Noah's ark growing up!), and it sounds like Zosia and Ash are a perfect pair! Posted by: Marlena at November 28, 2007 12:05 PMOMG!! Welcome, Ash! I can't wait to meet you! You will LOVE your new family! xo-S.

Posted by: kat at November 26, 2007 12:54 PM*Beautiful* dogs! What breed are they? They look so elegant, statuesque, and intelligent...with a bit of goofiness. That's my dog reading "radar" at work there, hehe. =) It could be wrong. Posted by: Julia at November 26, 2007 10:26 AMFirst of all Zosia has gotten huge! I know you got her as a pup, but you sitting next to her really showed her size. I'm glad she now has a friend. And that is wonderful that you rescued Ash.
