Hi Ernie's Mom here. I gave Ernie the day off. I tried to include a video clip of a dog who is amazing. One can almost see him thinking. I believer there isn't any such thing as a dumb dog/animal. This proves it. They are smart in their own way. I apologize... I wasn't able to eliminate the lead in to the video. It only takes a few seconds so if you get past it, you will see a very smart pup. Sorry I couldn't isolate just the clip of the dog. Also, I couldn't get it into the body of the post and had to enter it as a gadget. Does anyone know of a way to get it in without adding it as a gadget???? Thanks This is a picture of John taken for the Portugese Water Dogs Red Bandana Day. Guess he wanted to be the star in his own picture. Ernie, Sasha, Roo, & Chica were willing to pose together. Roo & John are becoming attached to us & us to them. So we hope that someday soon the right people will come along for them. Roo's deformed right front leg (she was born with it) doesn't slow her down a bit. She is a very fast runner & enjoys running & playing with the others. Especially John & Chica. Both Roo & John are people lovers.
