Samme (Leo 09-003) [1]

Greetings from Grand Forks,

Leo came to live with us on January 11th, 2009.  He was a stray, and he is approximately 6 years old. He is such a sweetheart it isn't even funny. Leo gets along with the other golden fur butts however, he has had an infection since he was neutered and has to wear a lampshade on his head until Saturday, then we will take him back to the vet for a checkup to make sure he is okay and all shots are current. I think we will see a whole different guy once the cone comes off.

Leo loves to lay on the sofa, which is a no-no in my book but for some reason foster dad had Leo on the sofa within an hour of his arrival.  Leo loves every moment of it too.  Leo isn't bossy he puts up with the other golden's rules and regulations such as who gets to be the closest to foster mom at bed time, who gets treats first, who gets to carry foster mom's gloves when she comes home from work that type of thing.  He learned quickly.  Leo doesn't bark, moan or groan, it's unbelievable.  He is mild mannered, takes food from my fingers very gently and is very polite. 

At the moment with the cone on, he goes outside to do his business but gets distracted with that darned cone and decided to shovel with it or maybe just eat some snow, we have tons of that.  Leo is house trained, he hasn't had an accident yet, and he doesn't counter surf or jump on visitors.  Leo walks very nice on a leash, he even let grammy walk him.   I think he could teach the others a thing or two around here.
