It has been over six months since we lost our favorite friend Katie.
Everytime Jordan was asked if he wanted another dog the answer was always a VERY firm NO! For some reason however a few weeks ago we showed him a picture of a dog and asked what he would think if this dog would come home with us and he was all for it.
So, on Saturday, April 17th we traveled to Waukon to meet Shelby.
Shelby is a Collie/Golden Retriever mix that is about a year old. Her face and tail are definately Collie and the rest is the Golden Retriever. She is very gentle and LOVES the attention that Jordan gives her. She is completely house broken and a very calm dog. We are still working on boundaries and the rules of the house but for the most part, she is fitting in very well.
On our way home.....
just before Shelby's nerves got the best of her and she puked all over the seat and blanket beside Jordan.
Showing her around the house.
I call this "tolerance"!
They sat here for about an hour while Jordan combed her. She LOVES to be brushed and combed and Jordan loves that he can do it.
We are hoping that this is just the beginning to a close friendship like Jordan had with his Katie. It has only been a week since Shelby first came to our house but things are working well so stay tuned for lots more updates.
For those of you that are wondering, we found Shelby using http://www.petfinder.com/ . This is also how we found Kesley and Katie several years ago.
