Joey now TEDY- adopted to Brighton Mass

Joey went to his forever home in Brighton MA on February 7, 2008.

Hi Jeanne, Judy, and Johnny!
Greetings from snowy Boston! It's been two weeks since Joey arrived, and we wanted to send you all an update to tell you he is wonderful and is doing very well in his new home. He's a very well-adjusted pup who is full of puppy energy, and he has pretty much settled completely into his new routine. He goes on long walks three times a day, and sniffs just about everything and everyone in the whole neighborhood! He LOVES the snow,
too! Once we have settled in for the night, however, he likes nothing more than to lay at (or, more specifically, on top of) our feet. He loves human
contact, and he is so affectionate that we have nicknamed him the "love sponge".

He has already met our veterinarian and is in very good health. We're enrolled in an obedience class that starts this week, and with his already exemplary manners, we know he'll be the star of the class. We have decided to call him Tedy because it was very confusing to have two "Joeys" in the same house, and he is reponding very well to his new name.
We just wanted to send an update (with pictures) to tell you that he is doing well, and to say thank you to each of you for taking such good care of him. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful dog come into our lives.
Thank you again, and we'll be in touch soon with more updates!

Name: Joey
Age: 14 months
Gender: male
Spay/neuter: yes
UTD: yes
HW status: negative
Date of intake:6/07

Joey is about eighteen months old and has the enthusiasm of a puppy. He
is house broken, crate trained and rides well in a car. Joey lays under
the table when we eat and likes to lay near us in the evening. The dog
has been neutered and is current on his shots. He had surgery to
correct a condition where his lower eye lids turned in and caused his
coat to rub on his eyes. The operation was a success.

This is a very cute Golden Retriever mix that looks like a three quarter size Golden. He weights fifty pounds. He loves to be petted and enjoys playing in a rough and tumble way with the other dogs at our house. Joey needs an
active family who will spend time with him and continue his training. He
is an interesting dog and is fun to work with as he learns quickly. Joey
gets along well with two of the dogs (an older male and a middle age
female) at my house. He and a new young male are not compatible. The
problem appears to be the chemistry between the two dogs and the newly
arrived male is quick to over react. So if you have a dog we need to
introduce the two dogs before an adoption is confirmed. Joey loves to
run and follow his nose so he needs a fenced yard. This young puppy like
dog is a wonderful companion animal.
