I don't know if you remember my story....short version - daughter got Sadie, I fell in love, I got Sassy, two malts, sisters/littermates, lived with me while daughter in school, NO WAY to seperate these girls. End of story - I have both and love every minute of it. They make me smile every day. You are the lucky one. I'm glad your brother realized how much better it was for the dogs!
