Meet GRIZ!  He is my German Shepherd mix dog.  Just turned 2 years old in September of 2002.   I adopted him on April 28th, 2002...and it has been a huge adventure/learning experience for both of us.

I am thankful to say that he has finally started to calm down and turn into the great companion that I envisioned when I decided to become an "adoptive parent."
Don't let these sweet happy pictures fool you into thinking that he is in any way calm or not a puppy, because he is definitely still a puppy and still very hyper.

He is VERY intelligent...we finally have "sit up" down pat and he was more than happy to spy the 8 POUND canister of doggy treats that my parents brought back for him from Texas a few weeks ago!!
This picture to the right is officially our first picture together.  It is the one that I put on our Christmas Cards that year.  NO I'm not scowling...its just that it took us an entire roll of film to get the two of us both looking at the camera and looking halfway decent!!
Just to put a plug in for them...thank you SO MUCH to Barb at the Big Dog Rescue in Sheridan Wyoming for introducing me to this wonderful animal, and making it possible for me to adopt him!! http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/WY05.html
