When you "click" on the link to his profile, you will see the video link below his picture. You can also google "Kohla" and you will see a link to the same video on youtube. If you love the picture...wait till ya see the video! Correction: For some reason the video link on his profile is gone
Oh, this video brought tears to my eyes! What a sweetie! I hope he has a very long and happy life with you. Wonder where he learned to "wait" for his dinner? Wish I could teach my beloved Beagle some restraint like that.
Wow he does like like a big goofy loveable boy! Dazzle and Chaos want to know if they can come play with him? ( being older Phoenix says she will pass as these two are enough for her).
Can't wait to hear that he is in his home soon! What ever you decide about the trip hope you have a good time and how could you not visiting Best Friends????

Dazzle and Chaos would have a great time with Sammie, Kohla and Mariah. Phoenix can come and hang out with Gator. I'm sure that the two "oldsters" could work together to keep the youngsters in check While the dogs are doing what dogs will do, I'll fire up the blender and you and I can enjoy margaritas by (or in) the pool. Bring the gang on over - we will all have a great time!
As for going to BF.....DH & I are hoping to go out to the Sanctuary this fall (together) After calculating the gas, hotel, food and other incidental costs, its about $1,000 less to fly him here over going out to get him. There is a non-stop flight from Vegas to Houston that Kohla can hop on so there is no chance of losing him enroute. Right now he will be home with us on either June 10th or June 24th. He is still recovering from double ACL surgery so he has to be cleared by the BF vets before he can travel. We are obviously hoping for the 10th (only two weeks!!!) but understand if they want to keep him a couple of weeks after that. Whatever is best for our new boy is what he will get!!!!!

LOL- we can't wait to get our new boy home. He does have great manners doesn't he? I'm hoping that some of them will rub off on my existing motley crew!
OK! OK! I watched it seven more times! I can't help myself... he's precious!

I'm in the same shape (of course)- I just can't help myself. I think I'm a "Kohla addict" and the only treatment is getting that boy here as soon as we can!
All of my B.F. adoptions have flown to me, and had layovers in Newark and places! I have always felt that I will love any animal I take care of, and also that my dogs meeting a new dog doesn't make much difference- the few times I've had dog-dog problems, they arose after some time and everybody realized that the new one isn't going home (or the current alpha dog died, etc.). A pack situation.
I admit that when I visited and took a Chow for overnight, I wanted wanted him. However, I had already agreed to take a long-time B.F. dog who was terribly shy (and therefore not very gratifying) and the Chow had medical stuff. He ended up being put down several months later.
A visit, with or without staying on grounds or meeting dogs, etc., is just so wonderful.
Be aware that there's something that blooms (or falls) in July and stays until first frost that is very very allergenic. I think it's a class of stuff called chenopods- stuff that makes up tumbleweeds. I don't have allergie, and I almost keeled over the two times I was in Utah in the summer, and that includes triple Claritin.
I might be taking Leah, a spaniel mix on the B.F. site of adoptables. I had sort of hoped for a younger senior (like under ten) but she looks like a great match for my gang.

I agre BF is the best. I've been a member & a volunteer writer for them for a while now. We adopted Sammie last July and took a trip to the Sanctuary to pick her up and spend a couple of days volunteering. It was wonderful and thankfully - no allergy reactions from canines or humans during the trip. We love Kohla already and have him set up to vist an allergist a week after he gets here. If we can at least narrow down what he is so reactive too, it will make him much more comfortable. We already have one Labby boy with severe allergies with our Gator. We've been able to keep him reaction free most of the time and during the others have our management routine down to a science. As for Kohla's knee issues - we have a pool to continue his hydrotherapy. I'm not really worried about dog intros. During the years I have been a foster mom to a large assortment of dogs, most of our fur-kids accept newbes pretty easily. We can't wait for him to get here so he can have a loving home to live in for the first time in a year and a half. Best Friends is great but ther is no place like home!
