It has been 1 year since Shelby came to live with us and we honestly don't know
what we would do without her, except have less doggie hair in the house. We love
her sweet temperament and those long floppy ears. Everyone in the family talks
to her like she is human and I cannot tell you the number of laughs we get
because of our gentle giant (yes, she's lost some weight since we got her, but
she still weighs in at 99 lbs). Shelby loves greeting all the other dogs in the
neighborhood when we are on our walks; she is the greeting committee at the dog
park; she will get in the car and ride anywhere, all you have to do is the say
"go", but her favorite thing to do is go for a hike in the woods without her
leash. As a human, I can only imagine that this is every coonie's dream come
true. Throughout the past year, Shelby has attended and successfully graduated
from Jabula Academy (aka - doggie obedience school, which was more for me than
her), made numerous trip to the visit her grandparents and even made a trip to
Boone, NC.
Thank you for connecting us with Shelby and the work that you do to see that
other precious dogs like Shelby get a good home. Here are a few pictures that we
wanted to share.
Happy Holidays!
