I came across a picture of a Bergamasco awhile back, which is a very rare Italian sheepdog. He looks very much like the puppy versions (when they get older, they let their fur form mats, so they look a bit different)....I was even e-mailing back and forth with the breed club president for awhile because she agreed he really looked like one and we were trying to figure out where he'd come from (there are only a handful of breeders in the US, so it'd be really strange for one to wind up in a shelter). So my very long answer to say....I don't know....some kind of shaggy sheepdog :) Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-32868547718283266152013-03-04T17:38:30.953-05:002013-03-04T17:38:30.953-05:00aw, thanks so much, Lora!

We had to give them away when we listed the house (our realtor wouldn't buy my "but it makes the place seem charming and rustic!" argument), but some of our neighbors actually have chickens, so apparently they're acceptable here, too. Someday we'll get some again, but I'm enjoying the poop-free yard for now ;)Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-19088135283426083042013-02-28T13:32:16.426-05:002013-02-28T13:32:16.426-05:00I loved reading about all your dogs.

I could see myself training a cat to use the toilet to get over that though... hmmm <br /><br />Your dogs look so amazing together and the cat :) Love the picture of Abe and Fiesta.

Isn't Fiesta a great name? She came with it. I never get to name dogs (except Oliver) because they keep already having names I like. The girl dog name I had picked out was Pi. Like math! For Dave! Maybe next time. Or Geraldine.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-23967639931121636632013-02-28T11:39:22.524-05:002013-02-28T11:39:22.524-05:00I love the name Fiesta for a dog.

And as I was waking up from the anesthesia, (I have no recollection of this) I softly said to Aaron "I want two dogs. And there names shall be December and Spaghetti." Now we have two dogs, not named December and Spaghetti.
