Over a span of nearly 60 years, I have had all kinds of dogs; German Shepherds, Poodles, Redbone Hounds, Terriers, Dalmatians, Weimaraners, Aussies... and of course, the standard no-breed mutt that always makes a great pet. But... a Great Pyr? No.
These are really unique animals. While being a dog, they do display a lot of normal doggy traits but when you get to know one in that aforementioned up-close and personal way, you find a truly special creature. Their personality is quite unlike what you get used to with most any other breed.
And then when you take them out into public, they attract a lot of attention. People are used to seeing those other breeds but... here comes this gentle, giant (nearly) white mound of puppy-dog and you always get the 'what kind of dog is that?' Children (for some reason) are especially drawn to her where ever we go.
This past weekend, Izzy took another marvelous roadtrip to sights and smells before unseen and unsniffed. It was called The World's Widest Yard Sale and it stretched the width of the state. And as usual, she was a great travelling companion and getting the attention of complete strangers where ever she took a stroll outside the car.

Izzy has been a blessing in our lives and has shown so much grace in every place we have taken her.
The adventure goes on...
