New Family Member

I went to an event put on by Colorado Puppy Rescue, looking for a puppy to join our family. There were many dogs to choose from, each having their own unique look. Upon seeing a small heeler/shepherd mix, I knew he was the one I wanted. I called Jenny, who was at Copper, and we agreed I would bring him home. After he spent two days at our house, we decided on a name for him: Leroy Brown.







He was super shy during the first two weeks or so, hiding under the bed quite often. They think he came up from a reservation in AZ, and, judging by his shyness, we're guessing he may have been abused. We've tried to give him a better life. We took him on a small hike near Conifer over the weekend; he definitely enjoyed himself.



We hope we can take him on a lot more hikes as the weather warms up.
