Meet Milo!


After about 6 weeks of looking for a new canine companion, we met Milo!
He's an Australian Cattle Dog/Beagle/Coon Hound mix and we just love him.
Found as a stray in Mississippi, he was rescued and brought to the Capital Area Humane Society.


He's about a year old, give or take a month, and about 65 pounds or so. He is house trained, knows how to sit, lay down and speak. His leash skills are lacking and he does not know his name, but he's a fast learner! One walk with a gentle leader training harness and he was responding incredibly.
Milo is definitely still a puppy, but is very calm and does not jump up or have any of that excessive puppy energy, though he loves water and chasing balls and toys.

The boys love him and boy, does Milo love them!


Our lives will be a bit more house bound for a while, as we get used to Milo and he gets used to us, but it is that time of year when farm work is in full swing.

We think he's going to be a fantastic companion for us all...even Cyrus seems a little bit happier.
