A New Family Member

Maybe some of you remember our beloved border collie, Scooter.  It took almost a year and a half after losing him before we felt ready for another dog.  In a roundabout way, I heard about an English Setter that had been through a terrible tragedy and was looking for a new home.  I went to see him and felt like he would be a good match for our farm.  The boys had been asking for a dog for some time.

Bo is very fast.  He loves to run through our pastures.  He has no trouble keeping up with the boys.  Or with me, when I run.

He is two and a half years old.  We got him neutered and microchipped first thing. 

He needs to put on some weight.  I had the vet do a big deworming.  And am also hoping the neutering and constant availability of food will help. 
Look at that sweet face.  We are happy to be able to offer him a fresh start.  Hopefully he will enjoy living on Two Bears Farm.

    Oh what a handsome boy and sweet face! Picture the black spots and brown eyes gold and it could be my much-loved and missed English Setter, Gilly.

    I'm so glad Bo was taken in by your family, I know he'll have a great life with lots of love!

    Cute pup, I have always had too many pets it seems. I thought they would diminish with kids leaving, but they don't.

    He is SO beautiful! It looks like he's a great addition to your family.
    My dog passed away in February, and I thought I would be ready for another dog by now, but I'm just not there yet. Maybe early next year!
