Shelter dog.
Joey.

It has been decades since I have had a dog that was my choice. Over the years dogs have come and gone. My wife has a big heart and would bring home any animal she ran across that needed a home. That is how we ended up with 2 dogs from the mean streets of Kaui. Nice dogs, just aren't up for long distance hiking and generally messing around in the hills.

I have high hopes for Joey. He has been very fortunate to have met many wonderful people who cared for him, healed him and have done an excellent job training him.

I am a very lucky person to have him come into my life ❤️ 💓 💖 💕

As I've posted elsewhere here, we lost our beloved family member, Jagger, cilla4progress Jul 2023 #4

A new friend can help ease the pain. They don't replace the lost companion, but they do help tblue37 Jul 2023 #5

That's what I'm thinking. cilla4progress Jul 2023 #6

We tell our dog all about his predecessors. Seems like he understands when we talk about them. emulatorloo Jul 2023 #23
