Today marks two years since Chase joined our family. He was a foster then, but I adopted him shortly after Hoodoo died.
Chase came into the shelter as a four month old puppy, all legs and ears! He left as an 18 month old, still all legs and ears!

(He's so polite, always crossing his paws!)
Growing up in a shelter does funny things to a dog's head. I always tell Chase that he has a couple screws loose! He's sweet as sugar, can't get enough attention, but he's just not all there. It's part of his charm though!

My life would be a poorer place without Chase, but Goldie's life would be miserable. She adores him. They are a funny looking pair with her short legs and his long, lean physique, but they truly love each other. Chase adds a great deal to Goldie's world--fun, companionship and joy.

He's a pretty good sled dog who likes to run in the back of the team (wheel position).

It's hard to believe that this happy, friendly, silly boy is the same dog I had to literally drag to my truck two years ago. I ended up hoisting him over my shoulder and carrying him outside. The shelter was the only home he'd ever known and he knew it wasn't his turn to go for a walk that afternoon. He was very reluctant to leave the security of his kennel. Now when we drop by to visit, he won't get out of the truck!
Happy Anniversary Chase! I am so glad you found your way here!
