Earl

Earl came on the scene in late 2021 to help mend our broken hearts. His mother was an Australian heeler, and his father was the German shepherd across the street. We got him when he was eight weeks old, and he was an adorable puppy, which is good because he was also a very naughty puppy. He has been a handful, but we love him to bits, and he is turning into a very good boy. (Also handsome, which helps during the naughty times).
