Profile

In a Presidential debate one time, Ronald Reagan said something like, "This is the only time I will mention age in this campaign and I just want everyone to know that I will not hold the youth and inexperience of my opponent against him." Bodee feels exactly the same about the other deserving pups on this page.

Bodee is experienced in family living, experienced with small children, knows to bark if strangers approach the door (the protector of the family), also has a beautifully soft bed provided by previous owners but is choosing to sleep right beside the bed, again to protect, and is willing and eager to help watch for obstacles while riding in the car. Head out the window, ears flying in the breeze, he is in control. He has a mahogany coat that is incredibly silky and of course the white face that makes him distinguished. We are assuming his age is about 10. He is trained and will miss the family he has left behind but is eager to meet his new family who will have more time to play ball, walk and pay lots of attention to him. He is up to date on all shots etc. and is waiting for your call.

Hello,

This is a note to say that Bodee, who we adopted through Ragom in 2005, died Sunday, December 27, 2009.

We met and adopted him through Nelva, his foster mother. Bodee lived a number of happy years, going to the cabin frequently during the summers. We think that he was happy and fairly healthy (for his age!) until Christmas Eve.

Below are some photos from his trip to the cabin last spring and a close-up from last year.

Thank you,
Sue and Richard

CAN WE TALK??

 

I have heard of age and sex discrimination with humans but little did I know it extended to dogs. Doesn't anyone want to "give back" in memory of a wonderful dog they have had in the past? I'm 10 and in good health, have all my teeth (just cleaned), have manners, have a silky light coat so I don't require too much brushing, economical (I carry chew bones in my mouth at least a week and a half before I start to chew on them), and would really like a human of my own to snuggle with, run outside, ride in the cab of your pickup or car and just be so loyal. You really have to share at the Foster house. We are talking quality, not quantity here. I am not a throw away, I have some good years left!!! My Foster loves me, but would have to give up fostering if she kept me. She is very protective, but with tears would let me go to my own home.

Now that I have your attention, let me tell you about my wonderful 4th of July weekend: I visited a nursing home, everyone in walkers and wheelchairs aimed straight for me, a little intimidating, but I did great. They all wanted to touch me and I patiently sat while they felt the outside world once more. I gulped and got on the elevator and sat for the ride. While people visited I put my head on a wheelchair foot pedal and took a nap.

Did I mention I was gentle?

Then the grandchildren came over. Enough humans for everyone to have their own. The 9 year old sat on the floor and just threw her arms around me, I leaned in so she would feel loved, too. The teenager took me outside and played ball and I got touches from the adults, too. When they left all 3 dogs hit the floor and it was a great example of "ALL THRU THE HOUSE, NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING" for the next 2 hours. It was soooo quiet in the house.

Please email Placement to meet me, I really am wonderful!

Special Kudos for Julie at Muddy Paws Grooming for giving me an evening appointment so I could be fluffed and buffed and get a massage.

It was so awesome, see me giving her a high five.

Strolling at Lake Calhoun is so great. I'm getting used to my Gentle Leader and love for people to stop and pet me. Just hanging out at home waiting for my phone call that someone is going to come and take me home with them.
