AB&TCR HAPPY ENDINGS - VOODOO


We thought it was time for an update on the boys. They sure have come a long way in the past year. Our Black and Tan, Luke, is our sensitive guy and likes to please. When we first brought him home I thought we would never be able to eat a meal in peace. He now has close to perfect house manners(except for an occasional tip toe into the kitchen). Indy is our wild child, but has definitely mellowed in the last 6 months. We are currently working on passing larger dogs without coming unglued. So after trying every collar ever made, including a remote, we have found that beef jerky works pretty darn good on keeping his mind off every dog, squirrel, rabbit and kitty. It has been such a rewarding experience owning these dogs and giving them the life that they deserve.

Voodoo, now Luke, moved from Florida to our home in Newport Beach, Calif. in March. It took him a few weeks to settle into indoor living. He needed to be house-trained and taught to stay off the dining table and kitchen counters. He was a fast learner and is now a pretty mellow guy, except for feeding time. He turns into a wild man when it's time to eat.

Luke goes to work with my husband every day and has learned how to open the glove box and unzip my husband's lunch pail and eat whatever is left inside. He loves his walks (he is great on the leash) and our many trips to the country where he shows us his ability to climb trees.

In May we adopted Bugsy (now Indy). I saw his picture and couldn't resist. He was about 12 weeks when we got him and I was quickly reminded how much work a puppy can be. Luckily, everyone helped out with him and I am happy to say that nothing got ruined in my house. He is now about 5 mos. and close to 50lbs. Comparing the two boys, Indy is definitely dominant and Mr. Independent, whereas Luke is very loving and wants to be close by someone.

Luke and Indy have been a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you AB&TCR!!!
