We waited several years after our sixteen year old Springer Spaniel died, before getting a new dog. I saw Lee's photo on the local rescue shelter's website and something clicked for me. The next day I went to see him after work and knew he was something special. I told my husband, "There's a dog I'd like you to meet." The next day he went with me and knew right away that this was our next dog. We spent the weekend getting the house ready for him, making room for his bowls and bed, and telling our cat, Raven, that he was coming. Lee epitomizes joy, so much so that sometimes I call him J.B for "Joy Boy." He has a huge vocabulary. I talk to him like I am talking to anybody. He loves agility training and is good at it. We are so blessed by his presence in our lives.
