He is a bit bigger and more rambunctious than Kate, so I think she was intimidated right away on our "off campus" walk. Then when we got home he chased her around the yard until she turned around and stood up to him. She gave him some reprimand barks right in his face and he just ignored her and kept wanting to play. Finally she started playing. (And they played until they were worn out!) His parents tried to tell him good bye but he totally ignored them.

He also was just fine with the chickens, ducks and sheep that were hanging out in the back yard too. It couldn't have gone more smoothly.

Beautiful dogs...and of course beautiful Sam :)

The new guy looks young, I am surprised he is two...I would have guessed younger.

I had to laugh at the 'less is more'......two big St.s :lol: definitely not less!!

Awwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a doll! I'm so glad it worked out that they like each other. I'm always more confident when you have male with female. How does the poodle like him?

I know Dace my choice of dog sorta contradicts my way of life. :p

He ignores the poodle like he ignored the farm animals. He is focused on Kate. Maybe he does have breed snobbery! :lol:

Out of all my St.s he is the only one that wasn't a true stray.
