After our old lab died, our other lab was very sad, he'd never been the only dog. And the cat just wasn't interested in playing.
During a very busy summer we started looking at dog shelter websites. We saw Bogey on the Franklin County Shelter's site, but knew we couldn't adopt for another month and a half. We kept checking the site every day to make sure he was still there. When we finally made it to the shelter and walked into the ward, he was the only dog not barking. He just lay there, curled up in a ball, looking up at us with his big brown eyes. We brought our lab out to the meet and greet area and the two got along wonderfully. And when we got home, Bogey made fast friends with the cat.
When our son was born we weren't sure how Bogey would react, but he's very protective: checks on the baby when he fusses, guards him during tummy time, and just wants to be close to him at all times.
Bogey has made a great addition to our family. I can't wait until our son gets bigger and they can all play together.
