I need to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can so that I am able to keep her safe and well.
All breeds have their special "quirks" and I know so very little about Pyrs. Good thing I learned
about the off-lead thing or I would have been following her down the street the first time out! I
have a fenced yard and she loves to run and play with my GSD! Willow will also run around the
house with the other dogs like there is no tomorrow playing and smiling! She's so darling!

Don't know if Willow is like that or not yet...she is just learning her new name and finding
where everything is in the house and outside, as well. I'm prepared for it though...it'll be a
toughie for me, however, because I am used to the "stop on a dime and come" that my GSD has...oh,
well, it will teach me patience!

And in the snow! There's a gentle snow falling in Upper Michigan this morning...she blended in
perfectly with the terrain!

She's not barked yet and has had plenty of opportunities because my GSD, Tony, takes the
patrolling of his yard very seriously! Her previous family said that she barked very
little...we'll see...

I had been thinking of one for several months and this adoption just popped up! Must be fate. I
love big dogs, loving dogs and dogs that I can hug and pet without bending down much...perfect
for me and for my household!
