I picked Buford up from transport today.  It was a long ride that started yesterday in Little Rock, AR. Buford’s dad was a black Labrador and his mom was a mixed breed dog. Where they lived in AR it’s hard to find good adopters so the family reached out to a local rescue for help who then contacted Brookline.He was super friendly and full of kisses when I got him.  He wasn’t a fan of going back in the crate and cried and howled for about the first 10 minutes of our car ride home after that he settled down and was quiet for the rest of the ride.When we got home, we explored the yard and he met Sammy.  Buford wasn’t really interested in Sammy and mostly just wanted to sit in my lap. We brought out the tennis ball and he had fun playing some fetch.  He happily chases the ball and brings it right back for another toss. After all the playtime we went inside and he ate his food and then a bath since he was a bit stinky from the ride. He did really well in the tub and then we went back outside to dry off in the sun.  He dried super fast which was great. This boy loves attention and scratches!After some more playtime in the yard, I brought him with me in the office to work on this update and he curled up on a comfy bed and is now snoozing away!

Stay tuned for more updates as this cutie settles in.
