Profile

Well, Robbie (as his owners called him) is doing wonderfully on his second day at our house. We have learned a lot already about him--for instance, in Robbie's IDEAL forever home, there wouldn't be many stairs due to the fact that he REALLY wants to go with you upstairs to sleep, but his poor legs don't like to let him, and he gets very sad. He can make it up, but he has to stop along the way a few times to catch his grip. Another of Robbie's comical characteristics is that when he wants you to play with him, he will go grab a toy, and come up to you and growl. And, if you're not expecting it, you might think he is growling because he is guarding toys, but that is NOT the case. His former owners sent a note along that explained this, he is just talkative. He absolutely LOVES my kids (ages 1 and 3), he doesn't bother the cats at all, just lets them go their way, and so far we've had no problems with our 1 yr old male springer or our 10 year old yorkshire terrier. Robbie seems to get along with everyone. In his previous home, he did not enjoy going swimming at all. But does like to take a bath. We will be taking Robbie to the vet to get a clean bill of health before he will be ready for his forever home. Stay tuned for more updates!!

Robbie is doing well. He likes his new home and certainly has his own schedule, up at 6:30 am and to bed by 9:00 pm. His two Collie mates do just fine with him and he participates in the action as best he can (he being 7 years older). I just realized it has been almost a year and he is showing no signs of slowing down, so we’re hopeful we get to enjoy his company several more years.

Here are some new pictures of Robbie since he got his hair cut. He is such a handsome guy!! As you can tell, he and Buster, our Springer Spaniel, are best buds! They are always hanging out together or wrestling. They're so funny.

Well, Robbie is doing Fantastic! He is patiently awaiting a phone call from someone who wants a mellow laid back guy to keep their feet warm while they work on the computer. He would make an EXCELLENT nursing home or hospital visitor. He does NOT jump, ever, and even when he's VERY excited, he's still very mellow. He likes to come up and lay his head on your lap and will sit there and wait for you to pet him. He is such a love! It would be nice for him to find his forever home soon, as he and my 3 year old son are getting very attached to each other! If you are looking for a low maintenance ball of love, email placement to let them know you are interested in Robbie!!!
