I have good news and bad news. Smokey is no longer going to be with us on his travels. He has broken free of his leash during a walk one night and has gotten away to begin what he told me as “His personal quest for freedom and adventure”. No worries thou, Smokey sent me a post card telling me that he has just the dog to take his spot as the class mascot. Smokey Jr the 2nd. That’s right, one of his long lost brothers!!!!!
It seems Smokey Jr. had gotten into a bit of trouble with an alley cat and was picked up by the Humane Society. Since Smokey Jr. needed a home, I went and adopted Smokey Jr. and have been spending the weekend getting him shots, and groomed at the Indian Creek Kennel and the Lake Side Veterinary Hospital.
After a long day of hanging out with Smokey Jr. we went and trained some martial arts to finish our long day of excitement!
