Our Boy

we loved our abbey girl. she was a great dog. even better first child. and huge mama's girl.

we might have jumped into adopting a new dog a little soon after we lost abbey to cancer, but there is no doubt in my mind that this little big guy was meant for our family.

i've worked with him on obedience training: puppy class. not such a big deal. by the time we were in beginners obedience, i could hardly get into the building for fear i'd be pulled over by our 60 pound pure muscle boy. he was stronger than abbey ever was, and at the time, far wilder.

but with a little power steering, many practice sessions, and even more treats, this little big guy has turned out to be the most amazing dog we could have ever hoped for. he went on to pass beginners obedience and novice 1, both with only one try and has moved on to novice 2!

but besides being an automatic vacuum cleaner, jumping up less, staying put more, and being all around a more pleasant dog to exist with...

he's patient.
has a good sense of humor.

loves our girls.
loves our girls to love on him!
and is down right gorgeous.

not to mention he's a mama's boy who will follow me from room to room and loves to pose for a camera!

...pretty perfect match for our family.
