Life Matters

PETS

we have a cat (and have had "Jet" for a long long time) two fish, and two teenagers, but I thought it was time we tried having a dog too. We tried this in the past, but like they say, it takes a village to raise a "Reba" , and our neighbors to the North of us took Reba under their wings, and did a fine job with her, but this time were going to try it from start to finish within our own property lines.

After searching around the Iowa area, I came across a dog (a LabraDoodle) named after a candy bar! The whole litter of pups was named after candy bars.........and another litter after the 7 dwarfs, and yet another litter after Santa's reindeer's. He is currently about 20 lbs., and expected to get to around 50~60 lbs.

We brought "Rolo" into our lives on Wed. October 8th at 6:15pm. Rolo came from Abra Dabra Doodle in Johnston, Ia, from a family of 9 puppies. He was born on June 26 2008, and as of October 20th 08`, it's as though he has been in our lives for much longer!

He had his first [and last --due to our weather changing to WINTER] time out camping with us October 17th ~ 19th 08`.....and he was perfect. He seems to love being around people, and needs this, as he gets bored pretty fast when alone.

I am glad we brought Rolo into our home, as I think the rest of the family feels the same way.....no one has any serious issues with him as of today!

he is scheduled for 'marble removal' on Tuesday am......bet he's going to be real happy with me the rest of the week!
