Bo...

"His name was PF"

PF stood for perfect feet as he has unique markings on his legs. When I brought home our 4 month old puppy from Adopt-a-Pet in November 2005, my  husband renamed him Mister Bo Jangles. We affectionately call him Bo or Bobo. His mother Tippi, an Aussie Shepherd, came into the shelter with 2 week old pups. Bobo was the only pup left for adoption and he was full of energy, jumped all over you and wanted to lick whatever body part he could get his little tongue on. We were concerned that our 11 year old Irish Setter/Retriever cross Peco would feel left out since she had been an only dog for 10 years.  She quickly took to Bobo and having a playmate took years off her life. She has taught him many things including how to jump up into the back of the truck or into the car to go for a ride and how to swim in the lake. She also taught him to raid the trash can in my office. After some obedience training by me and my husband, Bo has turned into the perfect farm dog. He has chased a coyote off the property and does a great job of keeping the deer out of the yard and my flowers. He loves to go trail riding when my husband and I ride the horses. And he loves the cats, sometimes too much with a big lick in their face. I wanted a dog that would bark as our old dog was taught not to bark. I also needed a "protector",  Bo is the perfect dog. He barks at anyone that comes to the house and he makes them think he is pretty scary with all that barking and the hair up on the back of his neck, but if I tell him its ok he quickly turns his barks into licks. Looking at the photos on the  new Adopt-A-Pet photo page I know Cody is Bo's brother and I am guessing Kodah is too as they have the same face. Thank you Adopt-A-Pet for a dog that not only has "perfect feet" but is the perfect dog for us.
