Kimbo
Have you ever looked at someone and a song just came
into your head? When they brought Kimbo out from the back of a local kill
shelter, I took one look at the sweetest face in the world and started
humming Lean On Me and once in the car, that’s exactly what he did – all the
way home.
Ok, I’ll admit it – I’m a sucker for the older ones –
the knowledge of the world rests in their eyes. But from the second you
meet this boy, something reaches out and grabs your heart and that’s exactly
what Kimbo has done to me.
All the way home, he rested his head in my lap. Once
home, I introduced him to my own 7-year-old boxer and my 18-year-old cat –
and the reaction from Kimbo was the same toward both of them – ‘hello, nice
to meet you, am I safe now?’
The only family he’s ever known turned Kimbo into the
kill shelter – something about moving - but we can’t imagine how they could
leave behind this gentle family member.
Kimbo is 100% housebroken, walks wonderfully on lead
and never needs to be crated. He’s left with another dog throughout the
workday and he touches nothing. Kimbo does not know what toys are so we’re
slowly convincing him that toys and chewies are fun things and he can play
with them. Kimbo saw our vet yesterday and he was a perfect gentleman,
letting himself be poked and prodded without a single complaint. He’s very
gentle with other animals, big and small and extremely patient when meeting
new people that want to say hi and give him some hugs.
Having Kimbo in your home is like having your best pair
of old shoes – he’s dependable, gentle, and you can’t remember your life
without him. If first impressions count for anything, love is in the air
and you’re going to have to be a really special family to bring this boy
home -
