Thank you everyone for the very warm welcome and the nice compliments about Dud and Murph.

Robyn, I have never seen a Swissie in person, hopefully someday. I am very sorry about the passing of your Dale, 2 is to young to lose them. A very close friend just lost her 2 year old Berner due to bloat.. that is my biggest fear. I am very diligent about the feeding and exercising time frame.

Pam, Murphy's favourite playmate at the dog park are 2 standard poodles.. they can give him a run for the money..I am always so excited when I pull up and see them there.. cause I know I will be leaving with a tired Sheepdog.

Freedom, thanks for the lovely compliments on the boys. I think they are the bestest.. but then I am their mom (hehehe).
