Today I added a new family member to my little family!! I went to the pound in West Vally cause they were euthanizing a bunch of dogs today.. Sad sad world it is.. Anyway I had my heart set on a particular dog.. They call him Steele, he is a Pit Bull/ Lab mix.. The same as Bently was. My dad went with me to check him along with a couple more out just in case there was some kind of conflict with Steele.. I was looking at another dog and was figuring out what one would best fit my life style.. Well I turned to walk back down to Steele and some dude came and took the other one I was looking at along with her kennel mate.. I just thought some one else was looking at them.. Well come to find out they were taken back to be killed.. Oh man that was a sad moment in time.. He was coming back to get steele when I had someone take him out for me so I could play with him and see if we got along.. Everything was perfect.. He came to me as if he had known me for a while.. The guy that worked there came into the room and sad the Steele did not like men very much cause of the abuse his first owner put him through.. Well after he came to say hi to me he walked over to my dad and sat on his feet and laid his head on his lap.. No one could believe it.. I think that dog knew what was going on.. The reason he HATES men at first introduction is the dude that had his first took paper scissors and cut his ears off.. It is sad that people can do such things.. He has a little bit of an ear left on one side but not much.. Him and Ziggy had no conflict either.. So I adopted him!!! I get to pick him up tomorrow at 5pm.. they had some vaccinations they needed to do before he comes home and make sure he is in good health.. They don't do any of this before they get adopted cause you never know who will find a home or not and that is alot of dogs to be able to make sure they are well.. Cause sadly most of them don't find homes.. I have never bought a dog from a breeder and I never will either.. They need to take a walk through a shelter/pound and see just what they are helping populate.. there are over 300 dogs in just 1 Pound and most are sweet dogs that would love you more than anything.. I will post a picture tomorrow after I give him a bath and he gets settled a bit.. I know he will be very loyal and loving just by the 10 min I spent with him!!!
No dog will ever fill Bently's place bit they will fill the cracks that that hole made when he died..

Oh T! How sad! I don't think ppl should breed animals for money BECAUSE there are so many in pounds across the nation already. For every dog that id "bought" from a breeder, there is a dog being put down because of it! I can't wait to see pics of your new babe!
