Leo 06-505 [1]

11/5/06: Leo the fabulous has arrived at my home! Leo was surrendered to RAGOM due to some difficult life changes his owner was going through. This five-year old boy has been bounced around some, since his surrendering owner rescued him from a humane society just this past June. Prior to that he was an outside dog, but you'd never know it now. Gina, you did a fantastic job with him in the short time you had him!

Leo moved into my home like he's always lived here. He and the resident Golden boy, Mason, hit it off immediately and, they not only play well together, but Leo followed Mason's lead right up onto the bed last night. The fact that he was allowed to stay is the surprising part, since very few fosters are welcome on the bed (by Mason, not me), on the first night. It usually takes a while to earn that right -- don't ask me, but the dogs seem to have it figured out. Needless to say, I was cozy and warm with a big furbutt on either side of me!

I already know this big lovebug is going to have many suitors. He's handsome as can be, with a dark red coat, and a big chunky blockhead on a nice lean frame. He's got the classic, docile Golden personality; he loves everyone, and is just such an easy-going guy. But I'm going to need a few days to get to know him better before I know what kind of family will be ideal for him. I've promised him (and also his previous owner), that his next home will be the "perfect" home for him, and that it will truly be forever.
