It makes me happy

[88 Bronco]

A year ago, my family and I adopted a mutt on death row. He had been in and out of the SPCA about 3 or 4 times (hyperactivity and destructive behavior). He was a few days from being put to sleep because no one would adopt him. When I went to pick him up he was so scared. When I got him home all he would do is growl and run away from me. He used to do this to every man that came over to my house. He took to my wife and daughter quite well. I can only assume a man abused the poor guy. Well fast forward a year, he is still very hyper and absolutely loves me. In fact he is sitting at my feet right now, like he always does when I'm on the computer. It just makes me happy to have given this guy a new lease on life.

Both of mine are rescues, it's really the only way to go.

I plan to add another in the near future.

We got our first dog (another SPCA mutt) when my daughter was one. She did a little of the tail pulling bit, but a few smacks on the hand put an end to that. Having a small child and a dog requires strong discipline for both. Dogs want to jump up on people, and kids don't understand that tugging on their ears hurts. If done right, you kid will have precious memories of their childhood pet.
