Introducing...

His name is Gallagher, I pulled him from a shelter today as if we weren't going away in less than three weeks.  He's a shepherd mix, black shepherd, mixed with what I don't know, but he's a nice dog.
 















Apparently his owner died and he took off, or more likely, the decedent's family turned him loose and sent him on his way because they were contacted and made no effort to get him back.  Nice folks in Fluvanna County, good family people.  (Is there a font for sarcasm or is it even necessary?)  This is why I don't do a lot of local adoptions.

Anyway, Gallagher is a nice boy.  He has now been neutered, wormed, and vaccinated.  I brought him home today and put him in the kennel next to Hank, Lana, and Cooper.  After a couple hours of barking (Hank) I just opened the gate between the kennels and let them all together.  Then we all went out to the pasture to run, play, and mow. 

He liked the water tank.  He seems happy enough, why wouldn't he be?  He played well with the others and took his place in the new Gang of Four.
