Yes, five years ago I was on looking on Craig’s List for I forget what reason (who can explain why one does something in the middle of the night.) I was not looking for love. But there he was, the man of my dreams. The add title “Scruffy Super Dog Needs a home.” Sure, I clicked that add. Brown eyes, lolling tongue and indeed scruffy. The following Saturday the six hour round trip was well worth it. Ah love. . .😉 ---

I got a nice TV for free once. I had an old remote laying around that worked with it, too! ---

Karana smiles on those who care for His creatures. As does Tunare, who is way hotter, but less stormy. ---

How big is he? He looks like he’s got some deerhound or wolfhound in him, but if he’s smaller than I’m guessing then I’m probably wrong. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > How big is he? He looks like he’s got some deerhound or wolfhound in him, but if he’s smaller than I’m guessing then I’m probably wrong. 23" at the shoulder I agree and he has very long legs. His former owner’s vet suggested terrier mix; however my vet thinks he is some variation of designer dog like a Labradoodle. He is very feisty, barks at every one and everything, but he is my baby.
