Mateo in Marina Del Rey, CA

Mateo is NOT in Marina Del Rey......he is in Phoenix,AZ! I am going to see him on Saturday. His owner bought him as a puppy as a present for the grandkids, and now no one has time for him. He has too much energy for them, since he never gets any exercise. They travel alot and he only gets walked if the neighbor, who is handling the adoption, does it. They just want to find him a good home. I think I know one!:) Keep your fingers (and paws!) crossed!

Well, he is two years old and I don't know about changing it now. Maybe if I can think of something that sounds similar!

Thanks, Dori! The neighbor said she calls him "the happiest dog in the world" because he is always so happy go lucky!

Mateo is here! He is adorable! What a handful! I will try to post pics tomorrow. Still in the introductory phase with Lola. I put her out back and walked him around the inside of the house and then brought in his crate and put him in it and let her in. So far so good. She barked at him, he barked back, but now all is quiet. He definately needs a lot of training, but who wouldn't after spending your life in a crate or tied to a tree! The owner bought him at the puppy store in the mall for the grandkids and paid a lot of money for him, and then ignored him. He isn't as big as I was told. Standard size, but maybe 50 lbs....looks like he needs to put on a little weight. Nice shaggy dirty hair...lol!

WOO HOO! That's great news, Susan! Can't wait for the pics. Now you're officially a doodle owner!

I just took him for a walk with the halti on. What a difference. He was very good! I was amazed at the difference. Before he tried to drag me everywhere and jumped all over. (I told Ron I should rename him Tigger!) He is very graceful walking...just a wonderful dog. I think he will settle in nicely! I take pics tomorrow and post them. I am taking it slow with he and Lola so she is not threatened by him showing up. He knows how to sit very well already and seems very intelligent. When we arrived, he was tied on wire to a tree and laying in the dirt, so you can imagine how dirty all that creme colored hair is...lol! They said he was groomed about two weeks ago, but I have my work cut out for me!
It has been a wonderful month so far for us!
