5/14/05: Shadow is a one year old beautiful male who will be neutered the first of the week. He arrived tonight, and was quite muddy when he came in, so he appears wet in some of the pictures from his bath. His owners were moving, and decided he would not be going with them. He had a long drive from South Dakota today, and did great in the car for my part of the ride. I guess he hasn't had much car riding though, and had to be coaxed in for the long haul.

So far he is excellent with my other two dogs, and he shows no interest whatsoever in the cats. He saw them and didn't even take notice or care they were in the room. He is used to being kenneled outside all the time, so we'll see, but so far no accidents. I don't believe he was a house dog, and he quite enjoys his time inside with us already.

He is a pretty big boy; don't know his weight but I would say between 75-85 lbs. He has a very thick red coat with big luscious curls. He seems to be a big teddy bear so far and we will write more later when we've had more time. Wanted to get some pictures up of this handsome guy right away.
