So, basically... he's exactly what most people write as their "ideal dog" on their application for a WAAGR dog.
-- quick side note on WAAGR. It's a great group that helps dogs that and there's currently a 50/50 raffle going on. If you want in, it's $5 a ticket or $20 for 5. Let me know if you're interested (and you definitely don't have to live around Madison to do it).
Anyway, back to Andy. Monnie and I gave quite a bit of thought to just bringing him on board as our second dog ourselves, but in the end decided that we wanted to people able to foster more (we both agreed that we couldn't have more than 2 dogs around here). A very nice couple (Michael and Diane) stopped by last week with their Golden-Doodle Oliver to see what Andy was all about. The next day they decided that he's they'd like to adopt him! They'll be a great match with him and they'll definitely be happy to have him around.
The one fault Andy has is he really likes to help out with your paperwork. A big fan of getting into your mail and any other papers you may have within his reach. He and Howie were downstairs last week and I came down to this:
This time we were lucky, it was just one of Monnie's giant books of ads (aka "In Style" magazine) - next time it could be something important.... like my Sports Weekly!
They got their obligatory scolding but it's hard not to smile when you see the guilty looks on their faces when they know they've done wrong:
We're definitely going to miss Andy around here but it's great to know that he's going to a great new home and will never be a stray again.

That is such a cute picture of them! Definitely frame-worthy.
We'll take 5 tickets, please!
Awww, so cute. Any chance Howie will be able to play with Andy after he is adopted?
Happy Easter!
Great Mom! We'll get you the tickets next time we see you!
I think we'll have to try to get them back together sometime to let them see each other. Andy's going to be over in Milwaukee though so it won't be super-convenient.
I love the picture of them when they are laying on the floor together - co-miserating in their naughtiness. Maybe you should have Dot come for a visit. She could teach Howie about kleenex and toilet paper!!! I would like four tixs. please.
Any more naughty dogs and we'd be over our quota!
It will be interesting to see when Andy leaves... which bad behavior has Howie picked up from him?
I know going the other direction - Andy has become a mixed-martial-arts expert and is now well prepared to head off into the great big world.
We'll send your tickets along too - and since it's "buy 4 get one free" you'll have 5 chances to win the big money :)
