Riley, Milo, and Lego - October 2, 2011

These lucky pets were adopted in July 2007, over 4 years ago.
Riley's shelter name was Angus, Milo was Brandon, and Lego was Sparky. Their family submitted an update.

"Hey; Just wanted to give you an update on our wonderful pets that we chose from the Humane Society. Riley the dog was adopted when he was about year and half old.
Riley was abandoned out at Agawa Bay and a bystander called the shelter. I knew he was a perfect fit when his cage was opened the leash put on him, he came out with his tail wagging and he sat right beside me and looked up at me with those adorable eyes. I didn't even need to take him out for a walk to make sure that he would be all right with me..... He never barked, wimpered, tugged or jumped on me while I filled out the papers. It was like he knew that he was going home. He wasn't nervous or uncomfortable when I brought him home either.. He was the PERFECT fit. It was meant to be.... Our son, absolutely adores him and he is my husband's best buddy for getting fire wood and having fire nights in the back yard... He loves the outdoors and will do anything for a treat.
Then, I just couldn't resist giving a home to Milo the tabby. He was 2 when we got him. We got him the day after Riley..... My husband thought I was crazy. Milo was an outdoor cat when we got him and he did end up running out on us. My hubby said, "Hang on, Milo will come back, please don't get another pet. Wait a few days to see if Milo comes back." Well, I couldn't wait that long. Three days later I drove back to the Sault Ste Marie Humane Society and spotted a 4 week old kitten. Lego is his name, the grey and white one. I brought him home and you will not believe what happened. My hubby and Riley were outside and he could hear noises coming from the wood shed. He opened the door and, surprise, Milo was sitting on the top of the wood pile. So now there are two cats and a dog. Perfect!!! Well, sometimes! Lego has become the owner, instigator and master of the house. He will hide around corners and attack Riley.... but if Lego goes after Milo, Riley is the protector of Lego. Go figure - big brother watching out for little brother. Well, I could write a book about all the funny things that have gone on in our household since we got the pets but if you are reading these pet stories then you probably have some of your own........Enjoy and Talk later....."
