playing like the devil!

Hi. Joey here writing from Lancaster County PA. I've lived with the Dillons now for awhile now, and I love it here! I have a big brother basset named Charlie who was also rescued. He came from the local shelter. We love to play a game Mom and Dad call "Bite my face", and it looks like we're killing one another, but if one of us stops first, the other one will ask us to keep rolling and growling. The next door neighbor asked Mom if she had a couple of Tasmanian Devils in the house. I guess that's what we sound like.

When I went to the vet for a check up, Dr. Hutchinson said that she'd never heard of BROOD, but that if I had been through all of the problems I had in my first year, then BROOD must be a great group, because I'm happy and healthy now.

When I was adopted, Dad took a picture of me to work with him to show his friends, and one of them, who has adopted a greyhound, told us about this really TERRIFIC place for dogs to go and play. A local vet has a large field behind his house that he fenced off and calls "The Dog Park". My people can take Charlie and me to this wonderful place and let us run off of a leash. We also meet lots of other running and playing friends there. The other day, I met a Mountain Dog. He looked like a mountain of hair. I chased him and he rolled over onto his back and let me bite his stomach. He seemed to like it, because when I ran away, he came after me and rolled over again for me.

I sleep with my humans on the bed, between Mom and Dad, and Charlie sleeps down by Mom's feet. Mom and Dad said to say Thank You for such a happy, healthy, loving dog. They love me, and I know that this is my Forever Home now with them.

Sincerely,
Flo Jo
