Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobakawww.dogster.com/dogs/637612
WAAAAY too many cute photos this month. among my favs are the obvious candidates - Simba, Titus, Tomo, Thalie & Sadie, and - wow! - Pepper.
and then there is the excitement of 2 DS first meeting and ''falling'' for each other. Elli and Odin get my vote both for the active canine joy in the photo and for the simple fact that it would be so great to have on the masthead these 2 dogs that bring so much to learning on the forum.
