He has jackets for cold weather shows, but never again a sweater.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Terri Parker was told immediately and was  forgiving, but had a kind of a "stuff happens" attitude.  I was taken aback because I was crying like a baby.  I guess as long as the dogs were out of Terri's yard and off her feed bill,  it really didn't matter what happened to them.   For some reason, she has denied to this day that she sent Cosmo to Gentle Giants, letting people believe that I sent him there.   I had nothing to do with it other than putting Terri in touch with Gentle Giants.  You can read about it  on Cosmo's page </B><A HREF="id158.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sunnys Brother, Cosmo"><U><B>COSMO</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Allegra was as stunning a female as Sunny and Cosmo are males.  However, she came to Shefaro as wild as a March hare with no socialization or training and barely leash broken.  She had an unfortunate accident which took her life.  Because of the way she was raised at Karista, she was unable to cope outside a chain link run. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It took quite some time and work before Sunny finally acclimated.  He is how a happy and social boy, so different from the way he first arrived at Shefaro.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>This is how they lived before they came to Shefaro to wide open spaces with fenced acreage and clean living conditions.</B></I></div> <div> <IMG SRC="17db902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
