Barnaby just joined the GPRM family.  He came to us with a mouth full of porcupine quills which have now been removed - and he was an EXCELLENT patient.  Barnaby is pretty much a failed livestock guardian - he would rather play with people than guard sheep. 

Barnaby is a very happy boy and loves to play - he does need to learn to not jump up on people and we expect that he will learn that once he has a family and someone to teach him.

Barnaby does have what appears to be either a birth defect or perhaps his lower front legs were run over when he was a youngster.  It doesn't seem to slow him down but just be aware that his front feet look a bit different.
