Hi Everyone!
Just thought I'd introduce myself and my new baby...his name is Bowser and he is 11 weeks old.  We have a 10 yr old German Shepherd, a 6 yr old indoor kitty, two horses, and a pack of barn cats.  :) Oh, and we also have five kids, but only two are still living at our house.  The rest have grown up and moved on to college...maybe that was why I felt such a pull to get this puppy!  He has turned out to be such an incredible pup...already housebroken, understands most commands, and that face!  His only issue is a touch of separation anxiety, during which he howls like a madman in his crate.  But we are working through that :)
Well, this is probably more info than I needed to type, but I just love talking about Bowser!  I will try to upload more pictures soon...I have to say it's hard to take a picture of such a fast moving target!  I do have plenty of sleepy-time pictures though! My avatar is actually a picture of him at about 8 1/2 weeks when we first got him. 
Thanks everyone, and hello!!
