Colby's Story & Details
After my dog Jasper passed away, I knew I never wanted to live without a dog. One Saturday we visited Briggs Animal Adoption Center. When they brought Colby into the room, he immediately jumped on my lap. At that moment, we knew he would become the newest addition to our family. Colby's full name is Colby Jasper Bode Evgeny Platov.
Colby is in obedience training now. We've heard training a beagle takes a lot of patience and hard work. Boy, they weren't kidding. On The Intelligence of Dogs list where they rate 80 breeds from 1-80 (1 being the brightest,) Colby is number 73. So we made up this song, titled "Number 73" (sung in the tune of "It Had to be You."
He's 73. His name is Colby. But to me, he's more than a 7, more than a 3. He's 73. 73. A beagle is he and he loves me. He's 73.
