LunchBox

Updated 6/3/2011

Lunchbox, age 5

What’s in a typical lunchbox?  Ho, hum…  baloney on white,  an apple, a couple of cookies, and a juice box. Snore! Luckily, the contents of THIS gold-plated Lunchbox  are a lot more interesting.

Let’s take a peek:

* A beach towel and goggles: Lunchie loves to swim and would adore a new home with a cool blue pool for those hot summer days.

* A greeting card that says, “Next to you… is my favorite place to be.” Lunchbox  would like to be a lapdog… all 70 pounds of him!

* A snazzy leash: Just in case you need a hint that Lunchbox would like to head out for a stroll! He loves walks and floats along like a dream. Gentle, curious, and keeps to your pace.

* A cushy bed: Soft cushions are great after that hard floor at the shelter. He doesn’t mind sharing his bed with another dog, either.

* A snack-size bag of dog biscuits: One never knows when hunger pangs might strike. Fortune favors the prepared!

* Shampoo, brush, comb, undercoat rake: Because, as we all know, clothes—er, fur & fluffy  “feathers”—make the man! Lunchbox wants to look his best for his new family. He knows that regular grooming will keep him gorgeous and mat-free.

… and let’s not forget the intangibles. This boy has so much Golden love that no lunchbox, no matter how capacious, could ever contain it. His foster mom says:

Lunchbox, or LB, should stand for Lover Boy—he is the sweetest dog ever.  And relaxed! He came to our house yesterday after getting his neuter surgery and he just walked around to check out the rooms and then plopped down on the dog bed in the guest bedroom.  He greeted my dog gently and with a loose wiggly body, and when I told the two of them that they couldn’t play yet, they promptly curled up on the bed together and took a nap.  My dog is not a “lover” normally, so this was all Lunchbox's doing I'm sure!   He's a great dog. I think he’d  fit in anywhere—but he does like to be #1 attention-getter,  so maybe another dog that was also a total love sponge might not be the perfect match.  He’s a bit clumsy  from what I’ve seen and might bump little kids over, but he’s very gentle.

Lunchbox  will be ready for his new home just as soon as his exercise restriction after his neuter surgery is completed. He’d love to meet you for lunch, of course… or at the pool… or anywhere!
