It’s a Boy! … Dog …
Thanks to the magic of craigslist, we rescued a stray dog from the Valley Center animal shelter yesterday. He’s a lab mix. Got some pointer, weimaraner, or something else in the DNA too. We think he’s about a year old. Andrea is going to take him to the vet this morning, so we’ll see what his input is.
The kids are ecstatic, as you can imagine. Because he was a stray, we don’t know his name. We’re leaning towards “Bullet” at the moment - named after the horse that runs out on the field whenever OSU scores a touchdown. “Bolt” was in the running for a while too.
I think he may just be the perfect dog. He’s sweet, gentle, and loves people. He has completely made himself at home. In fact, he’s asleep on the couch right now. He ignores the cats even though they keep hissing at him. He seems to be housebroke. He’s got super short hair, which means he shouldn’t shed too badly. I took him for a walk yesterday, and he behaved quite well. He doesn’t know any commands like sit or stay, but he’s so eager to please that I don’t think it will be too hard to train him.
He was so excited when everyone woke up this morning. He’s one happy dog!
Here’s some pictures…
good looking dog, reminds me of a Vizsla.
Way to go guys!!
He’s a good looking dog!

Congratulations!
It looks like you guys got a keeper - I love it when people are able to save good dogs from a shelter!
I assume this means you didn’t waste any of the stuff you bought last week?
