Ha, Ha! Good one!You know as well as the rest of us he's going to be a very special friend.
However your post reminded me of when my wife and I got back from holiday to find a German Shepherd had been using our yard as a toilet. After we'd been back a few days it got worse, he started bringing his dog with him!!!!!!!

Thank You! Fortunately, we have plenty of time and a lot of help for his training. So far so good. We are also very lucky in that he seems to know even at his young age, to be gentle with little children.Enjoy your time with him. Train him well. He looks healthy and happy.

Thank you for your kind comments. Several years ago I lost my best friend due to old age. He was a black lab- French Mastiff mix and he was a pure joy. I thought I would not get over it. Well... surprise, surprise!He is just beautiful! I am a dog lover now with an empty house. I "borrow" from my neighbors for regular walks and occasional "sleep overs." I am betting, now, you wonder how you ever got along without this very handsome fellow!! I am envious!

My Border Collies favorite toy is the Hedgehog, exactly the same as yours. Trooper's treatment of the toy is pouncing, and then doing what a gator does with their prey. Had to sew on its legs several times.

Congratulations! My wife and I have had German Shepherd dogs and they are wonderful companions. Training is needed and they need a job, something to do. If you don’t pick something, they will so you had better do the picking 😊. Some are more prey oriented and some do not tolerate other animals and people well. However they are very trainable though.

Thanks, Karin! I could not believe it. My wife hasn't a clue as to the significance.
