Curious Dobie

The one breed of dog that I have carried a fear of most my life is the Doberman.  That is, until I met Oliver.  Oliver is a 125 lb. Doberman that came to our shelter a while back.  At first, I was very cautious around him.  It didn't take long before he showed me what a sweet, loving,  and adorable hunk of a dog he could be!  The biggest problem I had after that was getting him off my lap!

"Curious Dobie" isn't a portrait of sweet Oliver.  I used a photo I found on Pixabay that reminded me of him.  Oliver found his forever loving home quite some time ago, and I couldn't be happier, but I still miss seeing his goofy face!
