After a dogless week, we adopted Chandler.

He is not Tawney's replacement, no one will ever replace her. He is our current "companion and protector"

He was at a local shelter for almost 90 days waiting for someone to bring him home. He is part Labrador retriever and part border collie. He has the collie's hair, the rest seems to be the lab.
He is well behaved, he is learning his new home and routine. He loves treats and loves to be loved up.

He is a little skinny now, but a steady diet of Blue Bell ice cream and other treats will fill him out.

We were not looking for a black dog, out in the country where we live, when he goes out at night, even with the motion sensor lights, he is hard to see. Yes, the yard is fenced in.
