Thanks. I found Jack at a CACC (city shelter) adoptathon in June '05 when he was five months old. Karen volunteers for CACC and called me on the road with what she thought was my perfect dog. I drove over and he was. I adopted him in (no kidding) sixty seconds. He looks like a miniature newfoundland, if you can call 95 pounds "miniature". Karen thinks he's a pet shop newfie. Great disposition, very smart.

I found Auggie in the park while walking Jack in Nov '05. Someone had abandoned him there when he was 13 weeks old. He's even smarter than Jack. You can see the wheels turning in his eyes. Anyway, they became instant brothers. There's never been any trouble between them even though they're both male and relatively alpha. It's funny watching them be each other's wing man at the dog run.
