Meet the newest member of our family, Leo. He has a very sweet nature and is smart, athletic, listens to basic commands and while he's been home for a few hours, the worst thing he's done is jump on the sofa. I'll have to keep an eye on him because a couple of times now, I've had to shoo him away from my spinning wheel. Note to self: put the wheel away. When nature has called, he's gone outside to do his business, so all in all, I consider this a most excellent beginning.
He's a bit of a cookie thief, though. While shopping for pet supplies, he about wiped the store out of cookies they keep in bulk bins. Is it stealing when they keep those bins close to the floor and entice the visiting beasties? I had to laugh as he went from bin to bin swiping cookies and inhaling the evidence. He also likes coffee and has been twice busted lapping up mine. It's OK, I can share.
Apparently, one of the neighbors likes him, too. In welcome, someone threw a tennis ball in our yard. One minute it wasn't there, and the next time we went out, there was the ball just waiting for a new owner. He seems to like to play catch.
I keep waiting for Leo to have a little lie down, but apparently, he's not big on naps. I think the first thing I need to teach him is the fine art of snoozing on a Sunday afternoon.

Fun! I love Dobes.
Buddha Lou Who steals the cookies from the bins, too. And he loves coffee, too.
A dog, a ball and a whole lotta grass...your new home is now complete.
That is the high stepping of a happy dog.
Treats, a yard, some one to love, Leo's dream has come true...and yours.
You can sing now. Our house is a very, very nice house, with two cats and a yard. Life used to be so hard, now every thing is easy because of you...
Home and a dog, life could not be sweeter, enjoy.
Sounds like you've got a great addition to your family!
Woo Hoo, Leo found his Home Sweet Home! Happy for him, and you, too, Rudee.

So nice to hear things are going well. He is a handsome guy. I like the last photo of him and his big shadow with his ears up. Sounds like you have some really nice neighbors also!
Oh I forgot to say...I liked Gail's comment. I love that song.
Brenda, Shadow would be a good name for him. So would Velcro. This dog is stuck to me like glue. Super glue.
Gail, I think that's one of my favorite CS&N songs.
He is beautiful and if the worst thing he does is steal cookies, you've got it made...ciao

Congratulationson the new addition. Hope you will all be happy
He's a beaut! I have a soft spot for dobies because my parents raised them first and then us kids. We had the original dog until I was at least 12 and I loved that gentle monster. I hope Leo brings you many years of joy!
He's beautiful! I love him already.. I love your yard too!
It's not stealing if it's within the dog's reach..
Hey! Your yard looks like my neighborhood! Welcome to Leo, and congratulations to the new doggy parents. Have you developed the doggy voice yet? Who's a good boy? Who's a good puppy?
Woo hoo, Leo, you won the jackpot!
I didn't know dogs would like coffee. Neither of mine show any interest in it. Thankfully.
Leo is a fine looking dog and I am so happy for you.
He's beautiful!! So glad you found each other.
Leo, you're a lucky guy to have found such a great home.
Leo is a beautiful doggie! so glad things are going well with you!
Welcome Home, Leo!!
