Today our family is celebrating ONE year with Jethro!
He has been a wonderful addition to our family. His personality continues to blossom and grow as “Ro” has adjusted to consistent life of love and family.
A year ago, he was very timid, and now is gaining more confidence each and every day. Yes, loud sounds still bother him, but “Ro” has come a long way! He has adapted to our busy hardware life with his two pup sisters, exuding resilience.
A few Ro favorites… Jethro loves a good toy play time, riding in the car, a good long nap covered in a blanket, a good plop in the grass and of course, snack time!
I feel very lucky to have found him as he has brought me tremendous comfort over the last year through my cancer diagnosis and treatment. Ro was a constant companion and IS my shadow. He goes where I go everyday, including work. He has become a daily presence at the hardware store. As a result, we had several people to ask about doing a t-shirt to honor him… so we did.
Wilkes County Hardware has a few summer Jethro shirts left supporting our local Humane Society. Stop by and pick up one soon! You will probably find our sweet, little guy behind the counter watching everyone or simply napping. He’s a quiet little guy, back there… saving his barking spells for home, alerting us to any activity in our neighborhood.
