Spidey

We adopted Spidey, from MWBTR, and he's been with us for about 2 1/2 years. He is currently 71/2 yrs old and still has a great amount of energy. He loves to play in the yard, but also loves a good snuggle at the end of the day.

Spidey has brought us great joy. We love our Boston very much. We had other dogs, in the past, but nothing compares to this experience. Everything has been great and I have met some really great people in all of this too.

We still keep in contact with Spidey's foster family also. He came from a home that didn't treat him all that great. He had some trust issues when meeting new people. You couldn't pet him on his head, or pick him up. He didn't really care for small children.

Since Spidey spent about 5 months with his awesome foster home, and has been with us, he has really come out of his shell. We worked to socialize him even more and he has made huge progress. Everybody who meets Spidey loves him. He has a great charm about him. He greets people with excitement and even allows my 8 yr old niece to pet him and play with him just like anyone else. I believe his favorite out of us is our 17 yr old son.

Truly a great experience and I say, at least once a month, that we should add another one to our home. Truly, truly the greatest dog we have ever owned. :)

Oh Henry!

Let's just say that this little guy "found me."

Henry's foster mom did a wonderful job. I could tell she was sad to say goodbye. Henry, AKA Captain America will have a safe, loving and super comfy life.

Henry's first day at home was an eventful one. He met his brothers and sister and all went better than expected. He can almost outrun his sister Phyllis, an Australian Cattle dog mix. And that is saying something.

Henry also seems to like his booster seat while riding in the car. Today is his first hiking adventure, but no worries. If he gets tired, he'll get a ride in my fanny pack.

Thank you so much for putting us together. It was simply fate.
