Arrival Story:
I searched high and low to find a dog that may one day grow up to be as wonderful as my other dog "Bacchus". I found Tully 9 hours from home in Cummings Georgia. It seemed appropriate since Bacchus was also born in Georgia, near Atlanta. My husband and I flew down to meet Tully's family and chose him from a litter of seven. It was a tough choice ! When he was old enough to leave home, I drove down with a friend (Tully's Auntie Cindy) to pick him up. I didn't want my new baby to have to fly on a plane. He was a very good boy and slept almost the entire drive to Virginia, but did spend a little time crying in Cindy's lap.

Bio:
Tully is a year old now and we are still waiting him for him to develop an adult length attention span. He is far more interested in goofing off than the hard buisness of learning tricks. In his mind, people are for kissing, not listening to ! Tully is smart, just not terribly interested in learning commands. He is a big comedian and comes up with lots of silly antics to get me laughing and give up lessons for the day. Tully takes Obedience and Agilty classes, where he is constantly getting us both in trouble. He isn't a bad boy, just easily distracted and unable to keep his mind on work. He is a big challenge for me, but lots of fun and I love him dearly. Tully is full of energy and never tires of chasing Frisbees, herding cats, or destroying toys, except in class, where he has been known to take naps during "down stay". He is a total goof, but I still have high hopes that Tully will one day settle down and get busy being a good boy.

Forums Motto:
