Here's the happy ending story of Toby:


Just wanted to let the shelter know that our dog, adopted April Fool's Day, is doing well. His original name was Eightball but we changed it to Toby. He has learned his new name and is attending weekly obedience classes at K-9 Guardians.
He was a little defensive when we first got him home and wouldn't let us put a collar on him but now he is fine; he wears a harness. We were really happy that the previous owner had given up his medical records because it has helped us to find a vet he likes. Initially, we took him to our vet here in Joliet and he snapped at her...
Well, he has been back to his original vet for a bath and grooming and behaved well and now we are getting ready to have surgery done to his right hind leg (the vet already had x-rays done from the previous owner). He has Patella Luxation a common malady in American Cocker Spaniels of which he is half.
We just wanted to let the previous owner know somehow that we appreciate the medical records and the house training. He is wonderful! We adopted him a month after our Persian died of kidney failure and he was just right for the hole that was left by her passing! Toby always lets us know when he has to go and he sits very nicely. A real plus considering we had never owned a dog before!
Thanks again to the previous owner and TLC for giving us Toby!
