'We are announcing to the world our latest sheepdog addition to our clan. His name was Mr. Shaggy, however after much deliberation and trying to come up with our name for him, we have decided on Diesel. He reminded us of a diesel truck with his power and persistence. Our niece, Ashleigh, came up with it. It just stuck to him like glue.

Many thanks to Belinda and Pete Lamm for helping keep it a secret from my wife. What a surprise it was to her to pull up and see this monster at the Lamm residence. We had a great visit before going on to West Virginia and then returning to Florida all on the same weekend.'

We eagerly await news of the transition of 'Diesel' to adulthood, LOL....that's one HUGE dog! And thanks so much to the Carrico family for taking on this fella!
