Bear Hugs

Hello,
 I have received your email about Bear, and yes we kept his name, Bear fits him so well. =]
We are doing great! He is such a great dog, and very smart. We do everything together, in fact I just took him to Halifax with me the other day to walk part of the Appalachian trail, and he had the time of his life. He loves to go for walks (which I try and take him everyday) and he has been doing really good with walking with me. He is my new best friend and I know when my last dog Kayden passed I never thought I would get through it but Bear has helped me out so much, and has gotten me through that hard time. Bear is such a wonderful dog around kids and other people as well, I was just walking him the other day and a big group of kids ran up to him and hugged him and he just sat down and let them pet him. He is such a beautiful dog as well I always get comments when we are out and about of how he is such a nice looking dog. I'm hoping I can take him in the pet parade this summer with Otis our mastiff, I know he would love the attention. Like I said he is just such a good dog and I am so glad he has come into my life, he will always be by my side. I love him to the moon and back, thanks so much!

Bubba

Bubba took and passed his Canine Good Citizen test!  The instructor commented after the test how remarkable Bubba is and how far he has come since November!!  Even though we have known it along – he is now officially a “good dog”!!

Bradley

Feb 2012

Hello, My name is Erik and about two years ago my family adopted Bradley, the Pug mix. I can honestly say that those two years would not have been the same without Bradley. He was my birthday present for that year, and I don't think anything will ever top that. I love spending time with him, and he gets along well with our other dog. You can tell every day he is grateful to be with us, and I'm so happy I saw his picture on your website. He also loves sleeping next to my pillow every night. I've attached some photos of Bradley to show you how he's doing, and how happy he is. Thank You, Erik

Brodie (a.k.a Bubba Vallari)

Attached are pictures of Brodie (we have been calling him Bubba he seems to respond better to that for us). As you will see, he is fitting in quite well with the rest of our "pack". We did not have any major issues with the introductions and they all took to each other quickly. He is starting to seem as if he is really getting comfortable here and realizing he will be staying. An interesting note that will show how in tune he is with the other dogs is that Toffee (the old one that Bubba is laying next to in some of the pictures) wasn't feeling well over the weekend. At any rate, I was up with Toffee all night until we could get him to the vet and Bubba would come check on him about every 20 minutes throughout the night to make sure he was ok and has been laying next to him quite often. He won't even play around him (I think he is worried he will hurt him).

We are very happy to have Bubba as part of our family.
