Hi Julie,

Thank you very much for the compliments. I feel that my pictures of James are pretty decent, but nothing on the order of some of the shots that have been posted so far in the forum.

We have picked a mixed dog for our new puppy. Her mother was a pedigree Siberian Husky. However, she is of mixed heritage - they believe part Newfoundland. While her size does not indicate as such, she definitely as the look. She is only 35 pounds at 6 months of age. Considering that we nearly adopted a 6 month old Newfoundland dog last week who was 100 pounds, it makes me question that. However, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. My wife and I are just busting with pride and cannot wait for her to join out home.

I am very happy to see your enthusiasm for the forum. I hope that others will join us with our love of our pets. I hope that I can learn some more technique as well through this process.

Cheers!
James
