Our newest addition Toby
Meet Toby! our newest addition. as you all know we were heartbroken when we lost our golden retriever Max to stomach tortion in August. Frankly we were devistated and it really affected out German Shepard as she and Max had grown up together.
I had this client who had bought Toby as a puppy as a surprise for his kids ( age 3 and 5). never having owned a dog before they didnt realize that this cute puppy would grow to be over $100.00 pounds (and he's only 13 months old)
When i realized that A) the dogs life consisted of being in the back yard ALONE all day and being in a crate in the garage at night I was very disturbed. This is no life for a growing dog.My husband and I started to offer dog sitting for the w eekends that my clients went out of town as I desperatly wanted this sweetie to have some dog interaction and he had a ball and I was saddened every time he had to go back. I tried to talk to his owners about quality of life and they just didnt get it sooooooooooooooo recently when they offered Toby to us for free ( a pure breed Golden lab) we jumped at it. This poor dog had no idea how to interact with other dogs, people ANYTHING!!! Hell he wasnt even house trained but thats all been taken care of. He's a sweet , sweet boy and we're happy to give him a good home.NOTE:
Do not buy a dog unless your dog people and always go to a shelter first and give a shelter dog a good home! You'll be doing a good thing. Toby makes 9 animals in our home....8 are rescues.HERRRREEES TOBY!!!
