Banjo 08-267 [1]

Banjo has arrived in Marion, Iowa!! JOE, as we are calling him is a happy 4 1/2 month old pupper from a small breeder who could not find homes for Banjo and his siblings. He was born on January 3, 2008 and is a beautiful reddish/brown color. He is one sweet guy!

Joe immediately went to work with me today since I picked him up in the early afternoon. He met several people, walked on all kinds of surfaces and appeared to enjoy his time on the leash. When we came home, he met all four resident dogs. Of course, they all charged at him to scratch and sniff and poor Joe was a bit overwhelmed. But, we eventually made it to the yard where he could run free and play the rest of the evening. My three children (13,11 and 7) met Joe and he was a "close to perfect" gentleman. He tried to jump up once but sits nicely when redirected. He played fetch, tug of war and chase the deflated soccer ball with great gusto.

We went on a long walk and now Joe is sleeping at my feet. He is a super sweet dog. Right now I'd say he is a bit on the timid side but with more positive experiences, he'll certainly become more confident. Will he be just the perfect dog for your family????
