08/09/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Trooper let me know it was potty time, so I easily lifted this adorable senior out of his kennel. His leash manners are outstanding, and while his eyes are a bit cloudy, he manages just fine! He trotted spryly by my side, and when we stopped for some cuddle time he happily lay in my lap for some smooches. Trooper joined a ‘littles’ play group session and showed that, senior schmenior, he still has an eye for the ladies! I love a ladies’ man, so cute our little Trooper. After we snuggled and walked, Trooper lay down in his kennel for a snooze. He’s an awesome little guy hoping to find a place to rest his senior head…a soft bed, good food and lap time will make this little guy happy. Come meet him today.
