We were so pleased to welcome “Bogart” to our family yesterday. Bogey is a senior black Lab found wondering many months ago and ended up in the slammer in Ellensburg. Fortunately, he avoided death row when some wonderful folks posted bail and have been fostering him since. We drove over to Ellensburg yesterday to meet him, and it was love at first sight.
He fits right into our family – he knows where to sit to beg for Scooby snacks, snores contentedly in his new bed, lies in the “middle of the road” in our kitchen,
likes to go for walks, warmly tolerates all the lovin’ from our two boys, and gets along well with our younger Lab and two kitties.
Bogey’s got arthritis and is a little stiff on rising, so we’re starting him on some special food and a second medication to help ease his joint troubles, as well as investigating some alternative therapies like therapeutic swimming, physical therapy, and accupuncture. Got keep him moving!
He’s a great old boy, and we’re lucky to have him!
