More: I got Joe for my youngest son’s 16th birthday and now have him for 10 years! It has been the best 10 years of my life since getting Joe. Joe is actually my dog as I usually walk him daily and spend the most time with him. I am Kyle’s mom and I love him so. Our family got Joe from the local dog shelter at 1 years old. Joe was a handful with lots of energy and craved attention constantly. I wasn’t sure if I could keep Joe as I was a mom and worked full time. To my amazement and dedication I was able to manage him and give him all the love and attention he needed. Joe today is my best friend and I don’t know how I could live without him in my life.
