Stanley (the dog) came from the Carrollton Animal Shelter. He was so nervous and afraid that he was at high risk for being put down. Luckily, Lab Rescue used the 'ol hot dog trick and that helped build Stanley's trust. In the beginning, he was very afraid of people and other dogs. With a lot of love and attention, Stanley became a new dog. He greets his family at the door with excitement and has found his place with the other dogs. He loves his Lab brothers and plays so gently with the old lady greyhounds. He even lets the little Jack Russell/Dalmatian Spike dominate him, which makes Spike so happy. His mom has fallen in love with the gentle kisses he likes to give and his new family can't imagine life without him.

Pierre is about 1.5 years old and is a quite playful pup. He enjoys chasing tennis balls or birds in the back yard. On his daily neighborhood walks, he knows no strangers and gets into everything!!! The kids just adore him and he loves all of the attention he gets. The “French boy” has been a wonderful addition to the family.

In 2002-03, Turco had the best GAA in league history since World War II at 1.72, shattering the former record of 1.77 by both Tony Esposito in 1971-72 and Al Rollins in 1950-51. He made his first NHL All-Star appearance the same year. In 2003-04, Turco again played in the All-Star game and finished the season with a 1.98 GAA.

Pierre Turgeon (the player) was signed by Dallas in 2001. Pierre was hampered by injuries and limited to a mere 66 and 65 games in his first two seasons with Dallas. Although injuries have hampered Pierre's offensive totals, he registered his 1200th NHL point with an assist on Nov. 12, 2002, becoming just the 37th player in league history to reach that milestone. 2003-04 started out slow for Pierre, but he was excellent down the stretch and often provided critical offense from behind the goal. He led the team with four points in the playoffs.
