Another Old Friend

Some of the newer BML members won't know who this is but those who have been around longer than a couple of years ago will. Today's update provided by Norma:

Here's Koby. It's already been 18 months since he came to live with us after Michelle Moran's passing.

Koby listening to Abe Lincoln read at our public library which adjoins the site of one of the Lincoln Douglas debates. This photo was featured on the Therapy Dog International Facebook page. It was also made into a poster that is on display at the library during Paws For Reading sessions, to alert patrons that dogs are on the premises. Here's a secret... I put a chunk of ham inside Abe's book to hold Koby's attention (shhhh...). Good thing he's not a drippy drooler!

Koby reclines next to Abe, looking dapper in his TDI bandana.
Koby and his big brother, Johnny Cash, riding on our pontoon boat, keeping a close eye out for alligators  (rare in northern Illinois but you can't be too careful). So far it's Boxers 100%, alligators 0.

Our handsome English import, Johnny Cash. Johnny was six years old on Aug 11, sharing his birthday with The Brindle!

  7. Koby looks wonderful. I too miss Michelle and her "words of wisdom". It sure doesn't seem that long ago that she left us. I am sure she would be very proud of Koby and all he has done and all he still does. I am so thankful that you have him and that your two boys get along so well. Thank you for sharing the pictures - I certainly enjoyed seein them.

  9. Koby looks so happy with you and your family. I miss Michell, too, her knowledge of Boxers and training methods especially. Johnny Cash is a very handsome boy. You should be very proud of Koby and I know she is looking down with a big smile on her face. I am so happy she found the perfect home for Koby with you and your family.
