Joey

Profile

Joey is one of three fantastic brothers that we rescued from a sad situation. Their owner died and the closest person to take care of them was 15 miles away. Joey is two and a half years old and he weighed in at 67 pounds which is just perfect for him. He is part Golden Retriever and part Gordon Setter. What a beautiful mix these guys turned out to be! They were all to the vet yesterday for a once over and shots. Today they are being neutered. While Joey is under anesthesia today, they are also going to fix the starting of a lower left eye entropian. He will be good as new after that.

When we got the boys to my house, they were all pretty dirty so we hooked up the hose to my inside faucet and everyone got a bath in the doggie pool. They were all great and stood for us while we washed, scrubbed and rinsed each of them. It was a beautiful day out so after a little towel dry they all dried off in the sun. Their coats are just a beautiful soft, shiny black. The three of them together is quite a sight! They are all very friendly, a little rough around each other but just perfect when no brothers are around.

What a great disposition Joey has. He is a very gentle and loving guy. He is the first to come running up to me and walk right beside me as I pet him. He loves attention but is not a pest about it. He has soft, silky flowing fur and is quite majestic when he stands to watch a bird go by. When he is away from his brothers, he seems very mellow and quite the gentleman. He played with my Golden, Leah, yesterday for about an hour going full speed up and down the back yard. They ran and played until they were both exhausted.

We will have more news and pictures after the vet visit.
