I hope all is well in Illinois. We are enjoying Pennsylvania. There are many wooded trails in the area and we have fun exploring those on the weekends. We are finally close enough to my family's place in Vermont (over 100 acres) that we were able to take the dogs there for vacation!! We all had a great time, they got to run, play, swim, and relax! The funniest thing was that Doc did not bark all week, he too was on vacation as there was nothing to protect us from!

We have a carriage house with a nice fenced in yard. We are adding a former barn cat but wannabe house cat "Fuzz" to our family. We will miss you, keep up the good work.

Adopted on October 28, 2001 Troy (renamed Doc by his new family) was a really sweet 65 pound little boy that was black with tan socks and eyebrows. He was a beautiful Shepherd that got along with all the dogs and was respectful of his elders. He loved to play with his toys!
