It went great! We traveled to Columbus, Ohio, and brought home Angus. He is the sweetest boy and bonded with me very quickly. I’m so grateful I was able to find him. In such a short time, he has already trained me well. I know his routine for going outside, and he eats calmly without rushing his food. Angus has truly filled an empty spot in my heart. Here are some pictures of him.
