I don't know what I was thinking! 3 new pix on #35

I was volunteering yesterday and someone asked if I'd seen the Aussie mix that we had. So I took a peak and all was fine. Yeah, he was cute.
Later at the fund raiser that night they started bringing out the shelter dogs. I had my stuff in hand ready to go home and I saw him. I had to put my stuff down and go meet him face to face. He immediately put his head down on my leg. That's when I fell in :love:! Now all I had to do was go home and convince Bruce. Yeah right!
Of course the first words out of his mouth were - we don't need another "darn" dog around here!!! I asked him if he'd at least go look. We needed to be there at noon when they opened because I was sure he'd go quickly. That wasn't possible because he had a lunch planned with a client. But he said I could go with him. I said good, then we can stop by after. Thinking he'd already be gone by then.
Anyway, we got to the shelter a little before 2pm and he was still there!!!:eek: So we filled out the papers to at least meet with him. That's all it took and Bruce fell in love too. :)

So allow me to introduce......Taggart (his shelter name and we like it so it's staying)!!!

Here is what he was doing while I was on the computer earlier.

So, Taz is tolerating him, as usual. Paizly is not a happy camper, which surprises me a little.
I just hope I'm not getting in over my head here. With Taz's upcoming surgery, I'm a little worried. But things happen for a reason, right?

Oh my. I am completely speechless! And no Z in his name! LOL

He's adorable! Congratulations!

OMG CONGRATULATIONS Cindy!!!!!!! I have to meet him now!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

He's adorable!! How old?? :love:

Congrats! He's adorable!

What a cutie!!!

LOL! I know, the Z issue was discussed. Bruce liked Ozzy, but we decided to keep Taggart.

Oh, sorry, he is 6 months old. And he is a parvo survivor as well.

Does anyone have any clue what he may be mixed with? Whatever it is it's a small amount. Because I see mostly Aussie in him. The coloring is about the only thing not fully Aussie.

Oh, and he is sooo calm! There is another Aussie at the shelter that I love, she is visually impaired. But she is just way to active for us. This guy is so mellow, it's amazing. :D

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. :)

Oh, I also liked to keep the name because of our other fellow PT pup named Taggart, 4 Dog Mother (oops, I guess they spell it Taggert, but the siggy says Taggart). But there's also another Taggart, Varga's :D

Awww what a cute pup! Congratulations! :) I definitely see the aussie, maybe he has some great pyrenees in him too? They are generally fairly mellow dogs, not as active as an aussie. This dog is border collie/great pyrenees http://www.raisingaddie.blogspot.com/

Oh my, aren't Great Pyrenees large dogs? :eek: Oh well, that's okay. Hee hee.

Oh, one Aussie trait he doesn't have is the butt waggle. He doesn't get super excited like Zoee does. But the tail sure does wag alot. :) That's something we have to get used to.

Oh my goodness! What a cutie! :love:Sometimes these things just happen.;) Will be looking forward to seeing more of Taggart!:D

WOOOOHOOOO! I am proud to have witnessed first hand a match made in heaven!! :love::love: I was at the event and Taggart was the BIGGEST Lovebug there! I just knew he had a bright future and you and he were meant to be. Paizly is little and she'll get over it in time. Congrats to all of you!
