this is a picture of our newly acquired great Pyrenees...girl.  she came to us out of the cornfield behind us.  she had mattes hanging down to the ground.  we had to cut a lot of her fur off and i gave her a bath....she's very sweet!  and very gentle...  she's as gentle as our little missy was!  she is just like missy except she weighs about 100 pounds more.  lol  she's beautiful, and sweet, and loving.  obviously she has been abused by her former owner.  she spooks easily...loud noises etc.  we suppose she has been shot at as well, more than once.  the poor thing...but she has found a wonderful home here with tom and i, Toby, Mandy, and our new baby kitty Aristotle.  its a menagerie...but we are so happy!
