Toby is home !

Barb · January 01, 2009, 02:10:37 PM

And has been for 2 weeks......bad, bad mommy.... :(

Our visit to my friend in Mississippi was fun, the drive was exhausting and Toby chewed everything in sight coming home - LOL !!! He rode in a crate - chewed through the seat belt, pulled some of the blankies through the wires of the crate and chewed those, and chewed the harness I had on him...

They estimate him to be 15 months - and he is still ALL puppy !!! He is destroying all of Rudy's toys, and has chewed holes in the blankies that I have in the x-pen for him.... I keep telling myself... this too shall pass - LOL !!!

We have just been trying to stick to a schedule so everyone feels comfortable. They boys are finally playing a little together, and Brandy licked Toby on the face a couple times. It is just all new for all of us !!!

He is such a funny boy !!!! Is so happy all the time and wagging his tail. I am learning obedience just as he is

Sorry to take so long to post about him..... with the holidays and year end work - SOOO busy !!! Here are a few pics :thumb:

dis is Parker: Toby, you look just like me, and act like me too. I likes to chew blankies and stuff. Do you also like to tinkle on the floors???

Welcome to your forever home, Toby Boy. Barb, he is just beautiful. In the pics he looks bigger than Rudy and Brandy. Is he? Smoochies to the new furkid.

I sure have been wondering about Toby Barb thanks for the update. He looks big next to the B&T kids! How much does he weigh vs R and B? The adjustment is often a little stressful at first, things will settle and you won't be able to remember when he wasn't a set part of the family! More piccies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and stories!)

Welcome home sweet Toby.... you are sooooooo handsome!

Make sure that your new mama posts lots of pictures of you and your new siblings! Smooches and belly rubs to you little guy!!!!

Barb · January 02, 2009, 02:21:03 PM

He is actually a little over 17 lbs !!! Rudy is almost 14 and Brandy is 10 - so he is definately the Big boy !

MyLittleBoo · January 02, 2009, 04:56:30 PM

Wow!!! Toby sure is a handsome dude!!! Can't wait to see more piccies... Smooches & belly rubs to the kids...

Barb, he is right up there with my gang. The boys are about 18 pounds and Bonita is about 16 pounds.

I am so glad you gave him a forever home.
