Hi everyone,
I want to introduce GS pup Fritz, my newest pet sit and very handsome little guy, if I must say so myself !! He is now 11 weeks old, I started with him almost 3 weeks ago....he has almost doubled in size in that amount of time already, and his black fur is coming out more everyday as well. Pearl and him have endless fun out back, but she surely has enough after awhile with him....I have to remind her what she put my poor Polly through when Pearl was a very young pup! But of course my Polly was so patient and loving to Pearl, even having cancer, many surgeries, and illness from chemo.....Polly was amazingly gentle and loving always, with Pearl.
Fritz will be with me for awhile, Mon - Fri, possibly through at least January....he surely adds fun, and new puppiness to our lives!!
Love to all,
Bonnie & Angel Polly 
Oh Bonnie he is a Beaut...no wonder you said you have a special place in your heart for GSD. I'm glad is able to have fun.

Hugs!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

He is so stinkin CUTE!! I just love those big furry ears of his!!
He will definitely provide you with a lot of laughter with his puppy antics!!

Perfect timing too for the holidays. Good job Polly!
Look forward to hearing more about puppy's exploits with Pearl! MORE PICTURES!!!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
What a doll! He has the same flopped over ear that the GSD across the street from us has. They had hoped Rooster's ear would straighten up, but it never did. Gives him the greatest expression.
I sure wish we had someone like you around here to pet sit. Neither one of our guys is a good candidate for sitting in a cage at a kennel, so we never go anywhere without them. Our wonderful pet sitter has gone off to college and we haven't found another.
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
