We have a new member of the family!

His name is Bo ;]  he's such a good boy, he sits on command (we're working on lay down) and he hardly ever barks, and it's low mellow bark... so cute! He doesn't really need a leash although we use it for safety when we're out walking. He follows right next to you or very close by, never runs off, actually comes to you when you call!hahah.. this is all very new and fun to have a dog that obeys! :) poor sadie she's having a rough time adjusting but she has already warmed up a lot. We're hoping they will learn to love each other and become playmates... sadie could really use someone to be attached to esp while we're not home... so that's the goal :)  Bo loves sadie of course, he's always ready to play.  He's about 8 months now, we adopted him from a lady who'd kept him this long since birth because he was born with a cleft pallet, meaning the roof of his mouth didn't fully form and was left slightly open and is at large risk for infection if food or germs get stuck in the open space.  they said he's been doing fine with this birth defect and knew he was ready to go home with a loving family.  we had him checked out at our vet and they recommend a surgery that will correct the gap and he'll be good as new.  He goes in 10/24  and will get his manhood taken away at the same time lol.  Mommy's happy that she finally gets a big dog :) we're having lots of fun with him... I love that he's so good! haha..
