Beau aka “Beau Beau” has been with me since October and he is the love of my life! We are mutually attached at the hip J. I didn’t change his name because I didn’t want to confuse him and the clock tower at Michigan State, where I went to school, is called Beaumont Tower, so it was fate. He has never pottied in the house, he doesn’t bark or tear the place up when I’m at work, he just follows me around and lays next to my feet…he’s the perfect dog!
Pretty quickly after bringing him home, I learned that he can roll over! I was trying to see if he knew “shake” and he just looked at me like I had a third eye and then rolled over almost like he was saying, how ‘bout this?! He is so smart and such a sweetie.
He loved visiting my family in Michigan for Christmas because they have a Golden his age, Sadie. She warmed up to him quickly and they followed each other around, snooping in Christmas presents and fishing for attention! They came to visit for Easter last month and Beau loved showing Sadie his walking route. He has probably marked every blade of grass along that route! There’s a lake close by that we’ve walked to now that it’s been warm outside. He swam in the lake once before it got cold last year, but it was more of an awkward stomping than a swim! I figured he hadn’t ever swam before, but he ran right in this spring and brought a big log back to shore. He did that all afternoon and then passed out and slept all evening!
