Hello there to all my friends across the world.
TOBY IS HOME!!!!

Yes...you heard me right!
It was a big surprise!....
A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!
We went to visit him this morning and discovered that he was ready to come home. Three of Toby's siblings had already gone to their forever homes and Zena said that if I wanted to, I could bring him home today! What a question! Of course I wanted to!!!!

A future show-dog maybe?

"Getting ready to go home is hard work!"
He had to say good-bye to his siblings...

And to "Granny Zena"...

Once he was home, there was so much to do...
New places to explore...

New friends to meet...

Food! Don't forget food!...

New toys to test...

Time for a snooze...and another snooze...

Time to test the floor...

A bit of nostalgia...
Time to test the 'old' toys....remember, Murray?

Time to romp with mom...

"Nice place this forever home!!!"...

"Nice garden too!"...

A brand new team...

I would like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to
Zena and Alan at
RUFFITWOOD GOLDEN RETRIEVERS

Through your generosity over the past 71/2 weeks, I have been given the gift of sharing the beginnings of my special dog's life. This is a privilege not many owners or animals get... I am so blessed!
I can't thank you enough!!!
To all my friends across the world...
ANOTHER ERA BEGINS!

Welcome Mr. Toby! I think you picked a perfect home!!
Oh what a nice surprise. And he already has such a happy smile.
Have fun!
Cheers, Gail.
PS from Bertie to Toby: Now Toby my wee laddie, I know that you golden retrievers are in general supposed to be well behaved, but please remember, everyone will be VERY disappointed if you don't get up to some mischief - after all that's what puppies are for. And you can get away with so much more when you're tiny and extra cute! And your Mum will thank you for giving her good blog material. Understood?
Welcome home Toby! And what a wonderful fun home you've chosen for yourself! I think your new Mom will probably need a new scrapbook, just to record all of your first day home adventures. Can't wait to drop by and teach you the proper way to catch a tennis ball!
Your pal,
Petey
Welcome home, little one. You don't know it yet but you just landed in the furry bestest home in all of South Africa for a pup like you! All of us over here in Michigan wish you a furry long and furry happy and furry wonderful life, yesh, we do!
Our momma is all sappy right now thinking of puppies and trying to smell your puppy breath from across the world. We think she should go out into the backyard and pick up some of our poops - that would bring her back to earth from those clouds she seems to be riding with stars in her eyes☺
Maxmom, I am so happy for you and Toby. You two are lucky to have found each other.
He is a beautiul puppy and looks like he will grow up to be a beautiful dog.
Good luck and best wishes to you both. Bill
He is precious!

Oh my, Toby is home!! How sweet! You are so very fortunate to be a part of his life for so long already and now he gets to explore a new place and new people and new siblings and new smells -- what a great adventure for puppy Toby and what a great new adventure for you, too!!!
Toby, TOBY!!!!! You have come to such a wonderful home where we know you will be loved, played with and treasured every day of your life!
Grow strong, little one, and learn to love the world and everyone in it.
Woofs from
Your Uncle Tommy
Hello Toby, looking forward to your posts about him, great set of photos

Welcome home Toby!
You must be so excited!!!!
Looks like the little boy is already settling in so well in his new home :))
What an adorable bundle of love you have in your arms!!! We're so happy for you and Toby and know he'll soon have organized "the pack" to his liking!!
Wirey love from the Barkalots!

I'm so happy to see the title to this this post. Toby is one very lucky and loved pup, and I am sure he will be very happy livig with you and your family.
Toby's just so cute, and I loved seeing all your photos today (but I'm amazed you found time to post - as it would be so tempting to play with him all day!), and look forward to hearing about all his adventures.
Woofs,
Riley (and his mum)
congrats!!! what a beautiful puppy!! everyone looks very happy except T....:)
look forward to puppy antics on your blog!!
xoxo
Welcome home Toby!!!! how exciting! What a lucky little guy to be coming into such a loving home!
Can't wait to see more of his adventures growing up!!
What a wonderful surprise! Congratulations!
Toby looks to be settling in just fine. He'll be an exhausted puppy for his first night, I think, after such an adventurous day!
Somehow or other we thought this might happen. The new team is going to be awesome - Toby looks truly "at home". All the very best as you welcome this new little bundle of beauty and joy and life into your heart.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
What a wonderful surprise!!! Thanks for sharing every single moment with us! It feels as if I was there with you all. Lots and lots and lots of kisses to little Toby... And oh Caryl I am so happy for you!
Welcome home, Toby! We are smiling through tears for you here!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
Dear Caryl,
Toby is so cute :) What a wonderful Sunday for you and your family...
Best wishes to all of you from Alsace/France
P.S. As I don't have a blog, I have sent a Facebook friend request to you.
Welcome home Toby! You are just too cute for words.
-Blogless Dogs' Mom
He is GIGANTIC! Seems like a happy guy. Your house is just full of blonds, isn't it? Can't wait to see what sorts of mischief he gets in to.
I loved the side by side of him and Max in a happy sad sort of way.
Slobbers,
Mango
What a great surprise! You must be over the moon with excitement!
I notice that King Toffee looks less than thrilled by this surprising turn of events, though! lol
Congratulations!!! Toby is home!!! You will have to take hundreds of pictures!! Give him a bunch of kisses and tummy rubs from us!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
Oh, what great news!! I wish we lived close so I could come over and play. He looks so happy and so do you. Happy days!
Yes, another era begins but it's not separate from the previous era. Max is part of you, and has taught you how to be an awesome mom to Toby. I am SO happy for you.
I love all the photos but particularly the side-by-side ones of Toby and Max.
Welcome home, Toby!
I know you are going to be very happy to be part of your lovely family!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza

Even though King Toffee doesn't look too happy about the arrival of the little Prince, I'm thrilled that you now have your precious Toby home!!! I look forward to hearing about his adventures as he discovers all the new and fun things!! :-)
The world is singing along with
The Rainbow Nation as little Toby paws his footprints on all of our hearts.
We have come through each step of the way with you,,,, now our hearts will sing, as yours is singing this very moment in time.
A bit of nostalgia... yes,,,

Congratulations! The wait has been worth it. Just love the look on Toffees face.
Congratulations!!!!! I'm so happy and excited for you. He's going to have such a wonderful life and I can't wait to read all about it.
What does King Toffee think about this new little one?
Oh how wonderful. Welcome Toby!
A tear rolled down mom's face at the lovely nostalgia remembrance pic ~ but in a good way 'cos we think Maxdog approves big time. So Toby is bound to have little MaxDog traits that make us love him, just that little bit more than we already do. We will never forget MaxDog ~ but our hearts have room enough for sweet little Toby too.
MY GOODNESS!!! Could he be any stinkin' cuter?!? I want to rub his chubby little belly!
Welcome Home Toby!
Hi Caryl & welcome Toby!
Dear Toby - may you grow up healthy & surrounded in love with your family, and K9 sister/brother! You are surely a very beloved little puppy!
Dear Caryl - congratulations on bringing Toby home. May he bring you much joy & happiness!
