We did it today!
We adopted a 20month old black Brindle Boy. His 'real' name was FF Cowboy and we named him Cisco.
He started to train in Alabama and just did not feel like it...
Cisco is getting along great with our Jack Russell and loves our kids, especially the 4 year old. He loves his stuffies and Tennis balls. Now, we just have to wait for the cat to come out from underneath the bed.

We are learning how to behave on the lead and I walked him today for our mile loop, he seems pretty responsive.

After my Fly passed away I felt a terrible emptyness and Cisco is already filling this emptyness.

I will upload some pics soon and post them.

Congrats on chipping!

You've got yourself a big puppy.

Must share pics of your boy. I'm sure Fly is pleased with your choice.
