The lady from the shelter is looking a my house to see if we can adopt a dog! 🥰

[@PARoth2011]

Haha..we did! We adopted two of them on 4th of July weekend. A Pitbull puppy (my husband thought was a chocolate lab) who is absolutely the most intelligent and loving dog ever and a senior coonhound who had an awful life arriving at the shelter emaciated, was adopted and brought back and was lived there for six months. Ruby, my very special girl, is blossoming into the joyful dog she was meant to be.

[@KM-fckutube]

Had a Pit Bull that I acquired at 6 weeks old. We lived together, only us for 14 years, and did a lot of similar activities to these two. I just lost him 4 months ago. I know exactly what he means when he says they had a deeper connection than he had with any human. In all those years I never spent a single night in my house without him there until he died. I never, in all those years working at the same job, came home from work to him not being there until he died. This has taken some serious getting used to and it still hurts a lot. I love their story and I don’t mean to comment on myself, but wanted to give context to my thoughts. As I watched this all I could think about was how hard it’s going to be for this guy, especially being an addict, the day loses her. I’ll be praying for him early.

[@deltawhiskey1398]

Take it from a guy who knows.....get another one...doesn't have to be a pitty...just get another one. You'll find that soon you will remember your dog with a smile ....and look forward to spending time with your new one.
