Band of Brothers

Bogy and Toby are two peas in a pod.  Very bonded, they are.  We're not exactly sure if they are brothers or not, but it really doesn't matter now.  You'll read why in just a minute.

Carol and I headed to Center Valley on Saturday, November 16th, to pick up Bogy and Toby.  Such handsome dogs!  I couldn't believe how lucky I was to get this photo of Toby.  He just stood there, looked at me, and raised his front left paw.  Such a handsome boy!  He's the good dog.  Posed beautifully when the camera pointed his way, rode quietly in the backseat with his chin resting on the window sill of the car door, and he never made a peep.  Good Toby!

And then there was Bogy.  Somehow this name fits him.  Bogy was equally as handsome, only he never sat still for his picture.  He also never sat still while we drove him to Montgomeryville.  He was into everything -- especially Carol's lap.  By the end of our trip, he had inched his way up between the seats and was riding shotgun on top of Carol.



Toby Sits Like a Gentleman

Bogy and Toby had wonderful beginnings.  They had a warm, loving home, two squares a day, and a wonderful woman who looked after them as though they were her sons.  Unfortunately, she was an older woman who ended up having to go into a nursing home, so she could no longer keep them, and that's how they came into the world of dog rescue.

But their story does not end there.  Carol and I had the great pleasure of delivering Bogy and Toby to their new forever home, with Denise, who was the most excited adopting mother I've yet to run into.  And these two canines stole her heart the second she saw them.  Denise could not get over what great dogs they were.  Toby jumped right into her car, and Bogy quickly followed. Neither of them could wait to get going to their new home!

And here they are, enjoying their new life, still together, still bonded and best friends.

It further appears that they've got a pretty cushy life, for which I'm not sure they are appearing so grateful.  I see two dogs enjoying the lap of luxury as though they've been there forever.  They sure look happy and content, and Denise wrote that they are both very well behaved, love their new yard, and have made themselves completely at home.



Toby?

Zzzzzz...

 And now they are both posing in their favorite positions for photos.  Could Toby look any goofier?  And well, that's Bogy being Bogy!

They may not be biological brothers, but they are as close as can be, and will enjoy the rest of their lives living as brothers in Denise's home, where she will smile over their antics every single day.
