Despite just getting Juno a few months ago (And, for those wondering, her Service Dog training is going on fabulously! She is incredibly attentive and aware), my mother and I have decided we're interested in another large/giant-breed puppy. My mother is dead-set on a German Shepherd, though I've tried to discourage her left and right because of their innate health issues. We have an application pending with the local GSD rescue, though they told me they have no dogs available at the moment, they're expecting a litter soon.

We're going today to look at the nearest shelter, to see if anything leaps out at us in the meantime, and will check another rescue tomorrow if we don't find anything there. Exciting! I'm enthusiastic, because I like puppies--and Juno could certainly use a playmate.

Wish us luck!
