Happy Gotcha Day

It was three years ago today that I first laid eyes on Davie. I will never forget that day. We have come a long way and it hasn't always been easy. Davie's self confidence has increased a thousand fold and more.  Davie is now comfortable meeting new people on his terms. He has his favorite people and to them he gives all of himself. He has his crazy coonie sister who he has done a fine job raising and training. He has lots of dog buddies. He has helped raise numerous puppies and has an incredible way with young pups. People who see him interact with a pup for the first time are both amazed and fascinated by what Davie will do to bring the most frightened pup out of their shell, or gently but firmly correct an boisterous pup. His favorite thing is our daily walks in the bush. He is in his element running like the wind. I can never thank Amanda enough for letting Davie come to live with us.

I had a hard time picking pictures, I know I have missed some of my favorites but I this is enough!
