Bo's Long Journey Ends Happily!

Most of you remember Bo, the wonderful beagle with 2 cherry eyes. He came to the shelter in early March. He has had 3 surgeries on his eyes, and this week, he finally found what he has been waiting for...his forever home! We would like to thank Bo's foster mom, Julie, for working with him these past several weeks to help teach him house manners and for giving him the love he so deserved. Thanks also to the generous people who donate to Paw Pals so we can get great animals like Bo the veterinary care they need. We would especially like to thank Bo's new family for looking at shelters when they were ready to add a new family member. Here is an update on Bo's first night in his new home...

Bo is amazing!!!!!! He is so well-behaved and calm around the kids. When we got home, we took him for a walk because I wanted to see how he would act on a leash. He did great. It was really hot, so we didn't walk for long. When we came back in, we ate lunch, and we just let Bo walk around and explore. After lunch, we watched a movie with the kids while the baby took a nap and Bo just laid on the floor and napped, too. Sophia had gymnastics at 4:30, and I didn't want to leave Bo alone on the first day, so I just took him with us. Joshua and I walked him around outside while Sophia had gymnastics and then we went out to a horse farm to see one of my friends from high school. Bo was just perfect. He didn't chase the horses or anything. He was on a leash, but he didn't pull or anything, just stayed right beside me. He did have fun playing in a mud puddle, but we hosed him off before we got back in the van. We were watching TV before bed and I was laying on the floor and he just laid right beside me. I put up the baby gate last night and he whined a little bit, but I went back downstairs to check and he was curled up on the couch. I got up early this morning to let him out to go pee and he didn't want to come back inside, so he stayed outside for about an hour, just smelling around. He sat at the door when he wanted to come back in. So I think he had a great day. He didn't play fetch last night, but I think he was just worn out from his big day.

P.S. Bo's new family has started their own blog so they can relive the many adventures we are sure they will have with their new furry friend. If you would like to keep up on Bo's happy ending, please visit http://agarcia-bosnewhome.blogspot.com/.
