Just thought I'd open up this Chicago forum by introducing my two Chicago area pups.

Mr. Fitzgerald Pink (a.k.a. "Gerry" or "Mr. Pink")
Age: 8ish
Breed: Border Terrier Mix
Gerry was rescued through an animal shelter after his former owners (who were mistreating him) decided to finally ditch him there.  Now he's finally living the good life!  He loves snuggling and playing with his newly adopted brother, Fletcher.

Fletcher
Age: 3ish
Breed: Mostly Rough Collie (Mahogany Sable & White)
Fletcher was also rescued by a shelter.  He was picked up by a rural area animal control as a stray after his owners abandoned him.  He's a very well-behaved boy and a prime example of why more people should adopt adult dogs.  He was already potty trained, knows not to jump on people and refused to jump up on the furniture... I had to teach him how to do that!
