Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon

Adopted May 21, 2009

Remember me? Bubba #1884? I led a pretty sedate life, but Golden Bond knew what a gem I was and found me a perfect always-forever home after my former owners couldn’t keep me anymore. I was obviously well loved, because I have a gentle, loving nature, but I feel like underneath, there was a “Riley” waiting to bust out.

My new name was a natural, and my stamina built so quickly that, now, I can’t imagine not being an active fella. We walk daily, and then there are the wrestling matches and King-of-the-bed games with my new best pal, Cassie. We move like one dog, I’ve been told—in the house, out in the backyard (oh, yeah, and there’s that great dog friend next door and we like to see who can say “Howdy” loudest and longest, but I’ll come right in when I’m called.)

My people have a few stories they like to tell—one about me and a cooling shepherd’s pie that was going to a potluck, and how I’ve learned to share toys. And how good I am about learning to retrieve. We’re planning to do a 5K or 10K walk next month and I’m ready!

Relaxing time means stretching out on the bed while TV watching or lounging in the hallway, sharing Cassie’s favorite people watching post.

Thank you, Golden Bond, and foster mom, Carrie. We are one happy family!
