We shook on it and agreed that the latest antic is a true treasure and meant to be with us. I have always said to "pay attention to coincidence" and my husband has thrown that in my face recently. It was such a heart break that has turned in to a heart warming story. So much to tell but no time to type it all. We will keep our new gentle giant and his name is now "Angus". Thank you to Donna for that suggestion. We liked "Luther" but it did not flow well and Angus he answers to. Besides the obvious reasons to be named Angus, we are bit music fans...especially rock...hence the amazing guitarist "Angus Young" from AC/DC.
"Angus" went to the vet on Thursday and was oooo'd and aaahhh'd by everyone there. Pictures do not do him justice and he is much bigger than he appears in them. Every time I get the camera out he thinks it is time to come give me a kiss. Our vet says he is a healthy boy and not to fatten him up too much (he is pretty bony at 63 pounds). Angus had all his vaccines Thursday and he will be neutered on this Friday. We have already had one call from a friend of my husband who would like to take him...but it is not going to happen. He is here for a reason.
Here is a picture with Pajama Girl just to get the idea of his size...and how well he fits in. Not a mean bone in his body and he just loves everyone he meets. (he is giving Ella a big sloppy kiss)
This picture below I caught them off guard but a good one to show the size. (btw...the hallway is where Dallas, our big shedder, lays around and after being away so long it was over due for a vacuum and never looks that bad!)
Angus likes the hairy hallway just fine...it is not snow and ice at minus 16 degrees like he knew only a week ago.
