Subject: The Legacy Live On


We now have a new member of the family. Today we adopted a much smaller German Shepherd.

Though he has very big paws to fill - our Rabb lived up to his namesake in more ways than just being tall dark and handsome, (he was a 110 lb german shepherd)- he already seems to working on living up to his new name - GUNNY !

Our new boy is a two year old rescued from a shelter. He seems very sweet so far. He's all skin and bones but I'm sure soon he'll be strong little Marine!!

[> I'm very happy for you Chris. I also love the name ! -- Laurence, 05:14:36 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> [> My daughter felt we should continue w/the JAG world- he's incredibly sweet like Bud but I just couldn't do that to a German Shepherd. We considered AJ but this dog isn't really big enough for AJ- if he'd been a large GS like our Rabb, AJ would have fit better. Erica suggested Webb, after I stopped gagging she realized that wouldn't work & then it hit us - Gunny - the dog is medium sized- I'm guessing Gunny was what- 5'10? Canine Gunny is Golden brown w/ black, Gunny was hispanic skinned w/black hair & Gunny was loyal, smart, & always had your back- just the name I want this dog to grow into -- Chris K, 06:53:46 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> [> [> I understand why ' Gunny ' is perfect. Webb ? OMG ! You must has felt like, how to say this, in a ' twilight ' zone ? OMG ! -- Laurence, who owns a cat whose name is ' CHEWBACCA ', go figure !!! I let you imagine how people who don't know or even know from where it comes from react .... Chewbacca ?? and after some explanation or not ... Aaaah ! Okay ! Okay !, 10:19:45 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> Oh, I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you have a wonderful new member of the family. Gunny is a great name! I'm sure it won't take you long to "fatten" him up. Lizzie & Frances said to tell him "Hi!" -- doc, 07:12:20 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> [> thanks doc - it's always trying to bring a new dog into a family with a dog (my son's pitbull I inherited two years ago) and there are times when your heart aches for the dog you lost - we loved our Rabb so - but it's nice to have a new sweet dog to love on - it helps the healing I think and of course giving a homeless dog a place to be loved is such a good thing -- chris k, 07:40:57 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> [> [> I think that all of us from the Texas JAG group will miss Rabb, he was a sweet boy and well behaved. -- DOS, 10:26:58 07/10/11 Sun [1]

[> Love the name Gunny! So much cooler than Bud or AJ. But then I love VG and his character. Congrats Chris. A shelter doggy is really going to appreciate the TLC he's going to get. -- Cece, 10:07:47 07/11/11 Mon [1]

[> Great news! I hope you ll have many happy moments with your new friend. Rabb will never be forgoten you have to use the experience in making the new relationship and dog experience even better. -- Maja, 10:37:43 07/11/11 Mon [1]

[> [> My, what a sweetie. My sister has a GS rescue and he is a great joy. She says she doesn't who is lucker, she or her boy. My situation doesn't allow me to have a furry baby and I still miss my Beagle and and her 'brother' Llaso Apso who've been gone for years. However, my friends' critters love to see me coming...... -- carramor, 11:43:22 07/14/11 Thu [1]
