Hey there. I'm new to this community, in fact I just found it now and because I have such a deep affection for our four-legged pals, I decided to join.
I'll start by introducing you guys to my dog.
His name is Garpur, or Garpur Freyr Jónsson.
The name is very Icelandic:
Garpur = somebody who's very strong.
Freyr = the Norse god of sun and rain,
and Jónsson literally means "son of Jón (my father)" (The naming system in Iceland is patronymic)
My boy is turning 7 this November, but still runs around like a little puppy, barking when he notices cars that look like the ones we have (and HAD. We've changed cars a lot and he remembers them all, it's amazing).
He's a mix, but we're not sure of what. We are positive it's Border Collie and maybe even some Icelandic Sheepdog.
I still remember when we got him, he was a really small furball, quivered and peed on our carpet. It was love at first sight ♥
I'm so happy my mom agreed to us keeping a dog, because if she hadn't, he would've been put to sleep.
It's really sweet to see how dogs affect people in a positive way, if I take for example my dad who constantly teases him and plays with him. <3
