Stormy is a 7 year old lab, border collie mix. He is a great dog I rescued about 4 years ago. Stormy is unfortunately very adventurous and loves outdoor exercise which is getting hard with the addition of two babies to our family. We tried to keep him on a normal routine but it became hard with my wife basically being the only one to look after two babies and two dogs when I’m away for work. Stormy is my first dog and our children’s favorite, he can be a couch potato at times which is nice because he will definitely want to cuddle with you. He is very intelligent and can figure just about anything out, so with that he is looking for a lot of space to roam and be playful in.
