Day 314 - Diego joins the Five Star Ranch family

So day 314 was an family addition day. Sheldon was called in to work at 5 am but not after I was up more times with still sick Coco. Off he went to work while I went back to sleep.

The weather picked up just before the first dog was to arrive to meet Coco and us and the horses at 1. Diego arrived in the back of a little ford truck, filling most of the box! He was so excited to meet Coco and us girls. We had a great one hour visit. Diego was not sure about the horses but he did OK. about 1:30 Sheldon got home from his call out and after the first initial growling meet, he was won over. Him and the rest of the crew. Coco was excited to have a "big" brother.

this is the picture that won my vote and below sealed it.

so after the hour, the vote was he needed Fivestar since his current family consisted of a 30 & 16 month old living with family in a 3 BR house in Strathmore waiting to find a house in Calgary. Prior to, they lived on 15 acres in BC. Just not a conducive situation for a dog of his size. Diego is a Cane Corso, pronounced /ˈkɑːneɪ ˈkɔrsoʊ/ KAH-nay-KOR-soh in English, a rare breed which almost was extinct till recent years when breed was recovered. He is four years old and is 170 pounds.

I snapped this one on my phone quick.. sort of gives a size reference :-)

 then the photo show began


Diego and his new little sisters

 Coco is so happy

and they play but after a while she snaps, plays done and back to the house she goes  LOL :-)

 so then it was off for a wee walk with Shaina

 checked me out via office window

 then it was off for a perimeter walk with Britt and I

he loves to run ahead and back to us

 then back down the road to house

and then a view from the back deck while Britt feed Bird. Later on, Kaylin joins us to meet him and for a delicious roast beef gourmet supper! Shaina went back in with her for a sleepover.

 does this angle make my butt look big?
