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 ! 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!!! 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)!!!


He has a tail!!!


Am I seeing double?


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

[kimlovescats]

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

He's adorable!! How old??

[Glacier]

Congrats! He's adorable!

[Cincy'sMom]

What a cutie!!!

[Taz_Zoee]

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.

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

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/

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh my, aren't Great Pyrenees large dogs? 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! Sometimes these things just happen. Will be looking forward to seeing more of Taggart!

WOOOOHOOOO! I am proud to have witnessed first hand a match made in heaven!! 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!
