Ag moeder man,hy's so blady oulik.
I am green green green I also want one.
Now Shadow you tell Aunty if they nasty to you and I'll come and save you ok.
It's realy nice here in Tab La View and I have a friend for you.
Well done .. your family is now complete again ... its always a case of waiting till the appropriate time .. may you have many happy moments with your latest best friend ... I remember last year in December when my good friend Allan lost his Korki cat of many years .. he was heartbroken .. so many people said to him to look for a ' replacement ' like immedieately .. I said .. " Allan take no note of what they say ... a new cat will happen when the time is right ".. it has indeed happened so .. I went to visit the other day and there was this magnificent creature resplendent in one of the garden chairs .. upon asking I was told that this magnificent creature just arrived out of the blue .. has been hanging around .. testing the waters .. sussing out what it is maybe choosing as its next home ( cats are after all independent creatures ) and strong feeling is he has chosen allan .. dogs are a diferent story ... we choose each other . a chemistry , a different type of bond a gut feeeling .. but Mike if it feels right as it has you have gone for it ... i wish you many hours and years of friendship ... Dollar is looking at this from the huge happy field of happiness from the other side and approving , you can never close your heart because of loss .. last question .. whats the little tykes name ????

Hello there Shadow - your friend Mike has now introduced you to us on this forum. You look like a happy puppy and very perky too .......... so small still, but your ears are already pitched straight! Well, we all cried when Dollar moved on to happier grounds, but I think we are all just as tearfull now for your arrival - the happiness it brings.
I am sure you will have a very good life with the Alexander tribe (though Mike, who seems to think that he is the boss, is sometimes very naughty and does not listen to well - he might spoil you rotten). Michelle and the girls will crawl into your little heart just as soon. I know you will love them in return as they already love you and for sure you will not need to fill the paw-prits of Dollar - you will create your own and be appreciated for who you are - Shadow.
Great to meet you young one. Tell Mike to keep us updated on your "moves".... cheers for now, buddy.
From aunty Dalene (the biggest sucker in the world for all animals - damn and you are all so smart that you know it)
Ag, he's sooooooo cute ... even holds both ears up already ... Welcome to Shadow, the new Oranjemund mascot
Thanks for all the kind words, the dog already stole Michele's dressing gown this morning and dragged it off down the hallway... and yes, his ears are very well formed for his age.... but hell, this mutt is naughty...... Meiouw the cat already snot klapped him into place last night, just to show who actually runs the pet dept in the house....

An Irish Squirrel?

Oh yes oldman. That would suite Michael VERY well.... :emot19:
Seeing the pic of the squirrel reminds me when one of my disasters turned life lesson arrived to stay in o'mund with me .. he brought me a baby squirrel as a pet ..well a pet it was indeed ,, cute cheeky ,, made home in my wardrobe .. he survived remarkably well ,I was his parent and friend . at times when i worked at town electrical in the armature section I would take him to work , problem was e always wanted to snuggle up to me so i used to take a cardboard box with cloth in it and put it in the baking oven to get nice and warm .. take it out and drop him in the warmed up bed and he would snuggle up and go to sleep for a few hours .. he travelled around the country with me when i went on holiday the one time , survived a few hours in a toilet bowl when left alone at a friends flat , got back could not find him called and heard this pitiful sound .. there was he clinging inside the bowl .. lesson learnt , keep lid on toilet at all times as they are curious little creatures .. next time he survived a 10 story fall from a block of flats .. all he had was a sprained wrist and was treated at O'mund hospital by dr Redding Jones ... when travelling he would at times sit on the back seat watching the countryside flash by or sit on my shoulder .... and if it got too hot he would crawl under the front seat and catch a kip .. when he started to mature and get restless ( hormones and the longing to start a family - they to are proud creatures with the "silk purse" rivalling that of a tomcat ) he was taken back to stellenbosch where he came from .. set free one last look back and off he went in pusuit of his new life .. pity was in those days taking deveolping etc with pictures was such a schlep so somehow he never featured in any pics ...
Hi Mike
YOUR POOCH IS BEAUTIFUL. I also got my dog, though not a German Shepherd, but a minature dachsie again. I now have six of the little things. She is six weeks old and her name is Cloe. Take good care of your pooch, they are worth it.
