Luigi now Gavin the Border Collie Update

Gavin is doing wonderfully.  He is learning hand signals with great success.  When he plays fetch, he always brings his toy right back to your hand.  He still makes a few playing noises when he doesn’t want to bring his toy back.  Gavin makes this interesting sound since we got him, as though he is still playing with his brothers.  He is very good with our cats, and he has learned to play nicely and sleep beside them.  Our Boston Terrrier and Gavin have a lot of fun spending time together.  He has brought us such an amount of joy.

    Gavin (Luigi) has the same look about him that Vinnie does, he seems very content but alert. When I first went to visit Vinnie at Animatch he did not seem to be part of his litter mates’ pack, Luigi (Gavin) and Guido were very close and seemed to be a team, it’s one of the reasons why I picked Vinnie.  It’s nice to see a picture of Gavin, it’s like looking at Vinnie, except for the black ear. smile
    Gavin seems to have found the perfect home.

    He looks great.  I see Vinnie at Angell Woods often and he has soooo much energy.  I’m sure Gavin never tires.  Thanks for sharing.

    I see Vinnie often too.  Gavin looks so much like Vinnie.  Gavin and Vinnie are two lucky Border Collies!

    Wow, what a good looking dog! It is very nice to see how he has grown up and I am very happy for him. Congratulations to Gavin and his forever family!
