Toby, the Original Pool Boy!
"Work will have to wait. I've got some sunning to do and all this wonderful water to splash!"
Introduction: Hi, I'm Toby, a golden retreiver/chow mix and I'm a little over a year old. I live in Riverview with my human companions, Diana, Sladen and Ashley, my two brother cats, Boots and Valentine, my nine-year-old chow sister, Mollie, and my brand new brother, Riley. Mom says while I'm part chow, I'm also a true retriever because I love water!
My Likes & Dislikes: I like riding in the car and on daddy's golf cart. Ashley, my human sister, has taught me many tricks and my best is "applause". I roll on my side and cup my front paws together and move them just like I'm clapping. There's not really much I don't like except I am crushed when someone tells me I'm a bad boy!
"Mom says this photo shows my sensitive side."
Something About Me: I got to became a part of my family in October of 2003 when my humans rescued me from the Hillsborough County Humane Society. I was only about eight weeks old and boy, was I happy to go home with my family. Now, every day, I greet my humans at the door, with one of my favorite toys in my mouth, to show them how much I appreciate their love. Mom says I wag hello, not only with my tail, but with my whole body.
Quote From My Humans: "Toby really completes our family. My fiancee, Sladen, and his daughter, Ashley, have never really had a dog together as a family and now, they cannot imagine life without Toby. He is the bright spot for all of us."
"This is me with one of my great toys!"
