I hope this note finds you, your family, and all the four-legged Gold in good health and happy.  Shaman turned 5 yrs old this month and I wanted to send you a picture and a hello.  A then and now picture is attached - you will see what I mean when you open them. 

Shaman is the most loved and loyal companion.  EVERYTHING is his favorite thing.  Everywhere I want to be, he wants to be there also.  He is right in the middle of everything.  He is very beautiful and I get many compliments.  He is a gentle giant that loves everyone and wouldn't hurt anything.  He and Blayney, (the bird you remember I had) have developed an interesting relationship that has never resulted in  hurt or concern.

He has never been sick or injured.  He is a much loved and much included member of my family.  Thank you again.
