Steeler is a 4 YO gentle giant- he hovers around 140 pounds and his one floppy ear is disarming. He loves his three cats- we have two other feral cats that were born in my FILs backyard, Cleo and Ramses.
He loves meeting new friends- dogs of any size. He lived in a barn at a no kill shelter with a bunch of dogs, cats and horses so he is super socialized. I am a Cesar Milan believer so he is well behaved.

THey are so cute! Athena is so smart. I once had a cat that I taught to do a lot of tricks, too. They are smarter than given credit for. If you spend the time with them I think they can learn almost anything a dog can. It is hard when trying to teach two at once.
