Foster Doggy!






The other night Kenny and I were watching the tv show Dogtown. It's on the National Geographic channel and it's based in an animal shelter in Kanab Utah called Best Friends. This shelter volunteered to take at least 20 of the Michael Vic dogs. If you don't know who that is. I believe he is a football player but now he is spending time in jail for dog fighting. All the details and the images shown just made us sick and so sad. How could anybody treat an animal that way? Anyways that show kind of inspired us to adopt a dog. Pretty crazy for us since even before we started dating we both agreed on absolutely NO PETS! Never ever! Look at us now not even a year after we're married and we got one :D The images above are the dog that we decided to take home. Right now we are just fostering him to make sure he will fit in well at our townhome. So far so good! He is sooo calm and mellow! Completely against the sterotypte of a pit bull, which is what breed he is. The animal control officers think he is part pit and part boxer. Someone in Kayenta found him and called so he could be rescued. They aren't quite sure what happened to him. They are guessing he might have got hit by a car. He has a few stitches on his head and near his front legs. He's only been with us a day and we haven't figured out what to name him yet. The shelter calls him Zeke. But we don't really care for that name much. If anybody has any suggestions let me know!

Awww such a cute dog. We got our dog on a spur of the moment. I guess Bryce had been looking at them and decided to get me one for my birthday.
