Update from Toby

Posted on January 26, 2010 by Jen Szabo

To all my fellow volunteers – those who cared for Toby until he came into our lives in May 2008, we thank you. Words cannot describe what this little guy means to us. He is happy, healthy, sweet, loving and of course, gorgeous. But I have to tell the story of fate, for our loyal readers out there:

2 months prior to adopting Toby, my husband & I were having supper and talking about the kind of dog we wanted as our first. We decided that we preferred a male. I’ve always loved Cocker Spaniels, ever since I was young, so I mentioned that it would be a dream if we found one (but not a necessity). We also agreed that we wanted to adopt an older dog, around 4 or 5. Then, for the fun of it we started throwing around some names and my husband mentioned that he had an uncle in Spain who had a dog named Toby and he always loved that name.
Well, fast forward 2 months, and I was on the website and under the “adoptees” was the beautiful Cocker Spaniel, aged 4, male and his name was…. Toby.
After I picked my jaw off the floor, we met him and the rest is history.

A special thank you to Auntie Helen, Auntie Joanne & Auntie Sherri for making it all possible.

Jen, Carlos & Toby
