Star is the dark brown one, she is a mix of Chocolate Lab and Pit Bull. She's almost 6 now and showing her grey. I got Star from the SPCA in NY when she was 2 1/2. Star is the alpha female and a great companion. Sarah is the golden pooch. Sarah is Golden Retriever / Lab mix. Sarah came to us the day after Siera died. Siera was Sabrina's very first dog of her own and was the sweetest dog ever. Unfortunately only 2 weeks after we moved to our new home, she was hit by a car. We were devestated and never imagined the pain could be so great. Well, a friend called us the very next day and explained she had a friend with a litter of pups (same mix as Siera, coincidence?). There was a particular pup that reminded our friend of Siera... and they wanted to give her to us to help ease the pain. When we arrived at our friend house, the cutest little bundle of joy was waiting for inspection. Strange thing... this little pup had a purple harness on. Well, Siera had a purple collar on when she died. (our friend had no idea). All it took was Sabrina to hold this little pup, get a lick on the face... with tears in her eyes all she had to say was... "her name is Sarah..." with that we had a new edition to our family. She will never replace Siera but has a special place in our hearts. Sarah has also been a huge challenge. She chewed more than any pup I've known. Let me paint a picture... puppies love to chew on wood right? We live in a log home... need I say more? :-) She has since gotten out of the chewing phase and has taken to being our "alarm". Sarah like to sit on the porch and let us know if anything is approching the property. Sarah is a great guard dog (at least the alarm portion, she counts on Star as her "backup"). Sarah prefers to be outside while Star would rather be inside on cold or wet days. Sabrina would like more dogs but 2 is just fine for now.
