We did it!!!

I just found this post in my drafts no idea why it didn't get published. Oh well! Here it is! 


We got a dog! We've been talking about it for awhile. It's kinda a big deal because I have really bad allergies to dogs and cats however, my brother has a boxer and I haven't had any problems with him. On Monday (Labor Day) we looked on KSL we found a few dogs that we wanted and then decided on an American Bulldog. He was free, we had to drive up to Ogden to get him, the ad said that he had been hit by a car about a month ago and was still recovering from the accident. We drove up to Ogden to pick him and the owner was kinda goofy. He made us sign a contract saying we wouldn't breed the dog and that we would get him fixed withing 30 days. OK no problem. Then he proceeds to tell us he didn't take the dog in when he got hit he just took care of the wounds himself. So we drive the hour drive home with our puppy. We get  him home and he's acting really weird and he has these really bad sores all over his neck. He wouldn't or play or bark he just laid there. It was really sad. Well from the way he was acting we are thinking he might have been abused. The sores don't look like they were from a car accident either. We are hoping to get him checked out by a vet soon. He is a really sweet dog though. We were told he had been an outside dog but we've pretty much turned him into and inside dog and he's pretty much potty trained. Overall it's been a really great experience. I also have not had any allergy problems (other than the usual, I swear I'm allergic to everything!). He will be 8 months the end of this month. We hope he starts coming out of his shell soon though I would really like a dog to go on walks with and being able to take him to the park and on hikes.
