George is named after the French novelist George Sand. (When I got her, her name was Adrianna.)

Fezzik is named after the gentle giant in The Princess Bride. (His original name was Oso.)

I adopted George from the pound in 1993. She was 8 months old, sick with kennel cough, and had been abused by her owners who had dropped her off at the pound because she barked too much. We dropped out of Obediance School once.

I adopted Fezzik from my sister's horse trainer. Fez was living on a horse ranch and finding great joy in launching himself at horse butts and chasing the chickens. Ranch dogs are not to do these things, so Fez had to go. My sister made sure that he came to live with me. (Thanks, Michelle!)

George enjoys barking at people, sleeping by the fire, big soft pillows, and trying to catch tree rats.

Fezzik loves to climb on things, especially his doghouse and the table in the back yard. He is a friend to all, and a little S-L-O-W.
