Colby's 3+ Years Happy Ever After

Here is an update from Colby in Surprize, AZ, who was adopted in December 2004:

Colby is all grown up now. He will be 5 in November. His hair has gradually turned from the silver that he was when we got him to a black face and mottled colors on the rest of his body. He is such a good boy.. We just adore him. Jesse gets up at 4:30 AM during our hot summer so that he can take Colby out for a long walk of about 2 miles. Colby loves to look under every bush to flush out the rabbits. This spring, he caught six baby rabbits at different times while the neighbors cheered him on. He is so obedient that even if he catches his prize, if we tell him to drop it, he does immediately. While walking, when we come to a corner, he will sit down and wait until we tell him it is OK to go. Once, when a big rabbit ran from a bush and crossed right in front of Colby and dashed across the street, Colby chased him to the curb and stopped dead in his tracks because he knew he wasn't allowed to cross the street. Even we were amazed. Jesse and I have taken to spelling certain words because Colby understands so many. Jesse says that Colby is the smartest dog he has ever owned. I have to agree. Best wishes to you. Corinne in AZ
