Mikayla has been asking DAILY for a dog or bird now for months. Zach loves dogs and I feel he was missing out on that part of childhood. Mikayla said she wanted something that was just hers that she could take care of...so we ended up at the Humane Society and I thought that maybe in 6 months we would find the perfect dog to replace my Sunny and Sandy (yellow labs that my parents have). 2 weekends ago after painting all day and telling Mikayla if she was good we would just stop by the HS, we hurried over 20 mins before they closed. And there we found the most loving but yet sad 3 legged dog (sorry pic doesn't show it well, its his right front paw) and we just couldn't leave him there. The positives to a 3 legged dog are that he can't dig, can't pull the kids down when they walk him and can't jump up on people very well. He also doesn't bark and weighs only about 30 pounds..which is nice compared to our 70lbs labs that drug us everywhere. Everyone who meets Bandit (Mikayla choose the name) loves him and says how sweet he is.

You could have had mine for free. But, he seems very happy with you. He is a very lucky dog. Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought about all of those pros to having a 3-legged dog. Good job! I'm glad you found such a great dog in a short amount of time. Jack wants a dog, too. But I'm going to hold out a while longer. Having allergies helps with that.
ReplyDeleteloved looking at all your new pics! we sure miss you guys. oh and a dog...you are brave!
