Toby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Toby
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Male Breed: Black Lab, Golden Retriever mix
Home: Flowery Branch, Georgia, USA
 
   I'd like to tell you a little about my Toby...I adopted him from a rescue foundation in October when he was eight weeks old. He is a mix of Black Lab and Golden Retriever. I had a calico kitty for seventeen years and she passed away. I always promised my husband that he would have another fishing buddy when my kitty was gone. My husband had a black Lab for fifteen years and he passed away about five years ago. Toby has become the center of my life. Every November we take a trip to the Florida Keys and last time we got to take Toby. He enjoyed learning to swim, play with coconuts and ride in our boat at twelve weeks old. When we came home from our vacation, my husband got transferred to San Juan Puerto Rico for several months... Needless to say his "fishing buddy" is my shadow! He comes to work with me every day and everyone loves him! I'm very lucky to have found him when I did and he has become my best buddy! My husband comes home about every six weeks, and then Toby is his best buddy! We do have to make adjustments in the bed and couch... You know the rules of no dogs on the bed and the couch were broken the first day he came home with me! I just love him and wanted to share him with you!
