We are the proud parents of a gorgeous new malamute!!!! Thank you so much for being involved with "Lobo's" rescue. (that's his new name) Terry was wonderful, too...coming all the way to our house and then hanging out to see how the 2 dogs would do. It breaks my heart that this beautiful dog came that close to being put to sleep. I can't believe what we would have missed! We love him already and in just 2 days! It's amazing that someone thought he was too bouncy. I actually think he's pretty mellow...but that's probably because we walk them everyday and then he and Aleut play for hours on end. In fact, he'd probably like us to stop bugging him so he can get a little sleep in! We just got back from Lobo's first boat ride. He did great!! I had both dogs on leashes...didn't want anyone bolting overboard. Leutie is pretty used to the boat by now. Lobo just LOVED it. Stuck his head over the side in the wind...big smile on his face. We were only out for about an hour, but the last 1/2 hour both dogs laid down, yawned and took a little nap. The best of the evening was making a fire, having a glass of red wine and both dogs sleeping in the living room...it was really wonderful and cozy. THE BEST!!
