Hershey
We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to adopt Hershey. He is so sweet. His previous family clearly loved him and trained him to be a polite dog.
At first, Hershey stuck to me like velcro, but he is adjusting to his new home much more quickly than I expected. Now he will stay by the kitchen heater and keep napping when I leave the room. And he is much more willing to hang out with the other members of the family.
This fall I am working from home, so Hershey and I spend a lot of time together. By January, when I go back to teaching, I'll have him used to spending time alone. (He's already practicing when I run a few errands each day, and he's doing fine.) We have a high-school-aged neighbor who is home schooled. He misses his beagle, who died of old age, so he'll be walking Hershey in the middle of the day while we're at work.
Hershey is very smart, and we're enjoying teaching him new games and commands. We take him jogging and walking several times a day. I can't believe how beautifully he heels, almost without being told. My children (ages 9 and 16) enjoy cuddling and playing him.
Hershey is perfect for us. Thanks so much to Hershey's previous family and to his foster mom for taking such good care of him. Here is my son with Hershey curled up in his lap. Thank you again! From Hershey's new family.
