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.
