Pokie came 
          home with me two weeks ago today, and it seems like he's been here 
          much longer.  He is very versatile, loves hanging out on the couch as 
          well as being a great walking partner (I walk, he runs). He's from 
          Kentucky and sometimes I wonder if he thinks he's a racehorse!  He has 
          lots of room to run, as our house is surrounded by hayfields, but he 
          is very good at coming back when I call him. Our cats are slowly 
          getting used to Pokie. They weren't too happy at first and have taken 
          up residence on the second floor, but they're all gradually getting 
          used to each other. Pokie is a little timid when he meets new people, 
          but he enjoys being in the kitchen when friends come over and 
          curiously checks them out. He's very smart, and has managed to charm 
          one friend who's afraid of dogs. He has a sweet, at times mischievous 
          personality, and we love him to bits. Thank you so much for letting me 
          adopt him. The staff were wonderful, the whole experience was 
          positive. My only wish is that all of your beautiful animals will also 
          find their forever homes soon.
          
           
          
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
          
          
          Update December ‘20
          I 
          adopted Pokie three years ago today, and he continues to fill the 
          house with his special brand of puppy love and charm. He is a great 
          friend to the cats, and pretty much loves everybody except the 
          squirrels. He alerts me whenever they try to take over the bird 
          feeder. He’s my quarantine buddy and my personal trainer, and he 
          treasures his red bone, which was his first toy. Thank you so much for 
          everything you do, wishing you all a happy holiday and a better 2021!
