Description:
Sweet Toby needs our help! Would you consider helping Toby with his care?
UPDATE! He is eating very well ~6 cups of food a day (e.g. 3 scoops of food 2 times a day), which is about the say as the rest of my dogs. He is starting to get hair on bad leg since it was shaved for surgery. This butt shaving really messed up his beautiful soft cinnamon coat/fur on his bad leg. He still follows Rose and I around the house and as I said before he is become attached. Maybe it is our spoiling him with things like allowing him to sleep in bed. If Rose or If we get up in night he will follow use down stairs. Yes, he goes up/down stairs with no problem on his own. He has a very sweet personality and likes to cuddle and in fact he was sitting with me on couch last evening. He has not problem playing with other dogs and is frequently the instigator for a wrestling match.I gave him toy yesterday that you gave me (mink pillow) and the other dog were chasing him for toy which look like all dogs were having fun. Now we have white stuffing and pink shell from pill in back yard. He is a very good watch dog with a very deep big dog bark. He will watch from front couch and bark if he see people go by the front of house. I believe he will be about 75lbs or a little bigger (e.g. bigger then Tika and smaller then Reilly). See attached family dog photo for large small comparison.
