A Pleasant Surprise

Well, when we left to visit our friends Bob and Devona in Covington yesterday, we didn't really intend to come home with a dog . . .

For some time now, Devona has been looking to place Hombre, and was waiting for just the right situation for him. At 6 years old, having already achieved his Working Trial Championship (WTCH), Devona wanted to place Hombre in a home where he could be "just a dog" and have plenty of individual attention. He gets along well with other dogs, loves people and children, and is all around a great dog. He should be fine for light competition, maybe Rally Obedience or Agility, but doesn't enjoy the pressure of serious trialing. That fits pretty well with our life, as I don't have a lot of time for serious training anymore . . . since the glass business has taken off!

Craig and I have known Hombre for most of his life, and always have found him to be a pleasant, well mannered dog. He has a beautiful, glossy black coat, and is a sturdy, sound dog . . . a nice example of the breed.

Craig has always especially liked Hombre. As I found out on the drive home last night, he has entertained the thoughts of taking Hombre home for a couple of years. Who knew?!?!


Callie and Peggy Lee (The Girls) have known Hombre as long as we have, and they love him. They have always enjoyed romping and playing with the handsome fellow. Guess it was about time we got another man around the house!!
