Hi Everyone -
        I just got some new pictures of Toast. Gee, I wish I was a better
photographer.... I've scanned them and put them online at:
http://www.uvm.edu/~jhilborn/temp/toast.html

        Toast is one of three four month old English Shepherd puppies I got
from a breeder who hadn't been able to sell them. Gina, from this list,
contacted her sister and mom who actually went and got the puppies in
Michigan where they live, then Gina went to get them and I drove over to
Gina's and brought them back to Vermont. Those puppies racked up a lot of
miles that week. And then one of them, Bob,  hopped a CUR (Canine
Underground Railroad) ride down to Virginia where he is already helping out
on a sheep dairy (and also being a super playmate for kids). Bob was just a
regular traveling fool. The second pup, Riff, went over to New Hampshire to
a family with four kids.
        And Toast, instead of being adopted through rescue  was bought from
his breeder. He will be the companion for a photojournalist who travels all
over North America.  He may eventually get to meet folks from this list
depending on where Jeff's assignments take him.  He'll sort of be the Farm
Collie ambassador....
