Update on Smokey - Smokey's the Best

My wife Inez and I adopted Smokey almost a year now. I have got to tell you it seems Smokey has been part of our family forever.  He is doing great, he is such a good dog and a very loving companion. We have not had ONE incident with him and if you read his bio that might surprise you. He has to near us all the time and he LOVES to get LOVE. We could not be happier with him and he at one time was very well trained. You can see his expressions now everyday. He used to have terrible dreams at first but they have now disappeared. He sleeps all night and most of the time I find him along side our bed when I wake up. He goes on 2 walks a day if noy more and that is his favorite time . He loves his walks around the neighborhood. When we first took him you could tell he did not trust strangers on the walks ( hair on his back stood up) now he greets them with no problems. We are still very careful because of his history but he has not let us down at all.

 

Smokey loves to be near us no matter what room we are in even our bathroom when we are in the shower or I am shaving. About the only problem we have with Smokey is you have watch when ever you move cause he is always underfoot and I mean always.

 

We might have rescued Smokey but he rescued our little girl Mindy. After our older Boston Mack went to the rainbow bridge she was depressed and lonely. She was never alone in the house. Smokey and her get on great, They are always together. She is a very happy boston again as is Smokey.

 

I enclosed some photos. The one with Smokey laying on the spread shows just what a good dog he is. When he came to us with Lisa. She told us he chews up all his blankets he is given. Well that is the same blanket he was given on day one and its still all in one piece almost a year later and he still lays on it when not on the couch next to me. Which is where he spends the majority of his time

 

I just wanted to update on how our Smokey is doing. We could not be happier with him. I have always hears adopted dogs can be the best and that is certainly true in our case with Smokey.

 

So to describe how Smokey and us are doing in almost a year's time in a word is WONDERFUL.
