Trace came to me April 1, 2011. He was a yr and a half old and had little to no training. We thought he was deaf because he didn't respond to voices or sounds, but discovered he was hearing just fine, just had never been talked to. It took him awhile to feel comfortable in our home but finally he did and lived a very comfortable and loving life. He was loved by all who met him and missed by all too. Trace left behind a sister who is slowly growing to be an only dog. She still looks for him every morning when we go outside so spending extra time with her has been my biggest concern. Trace, you are grately missed.
