Welcome Colby!

sg
This is Colby, an almost-6-year old Bichon Frise who is the latest dog to be adopted by my parents, making Colby The Luckiest Dog in the World. He went from having essentially no home to one with a big warm bed, a big back yard, chicken dinners, and lots and lots of attention.

Colby met his crazy niece Johnny today, and I was dreading what might happen all weekend. She's not a very friendly dog, and I was afraid that she wouldn't take well to having a new dog in her Grammy and Grandpop's house, which she most definitely considers her turf.

Luckily, after a couple of initial rough patches, Johnny and Colby got along very well, running outside in the yard together, not eating each other's food, and even laying on the bed at the same time. I'm proud of my little girl, since this was a big challenge for her.

But she stepped up to the plate, and put her shnoot to the grindstone, if I may mix my metaphors.

Welcome Colby!
