I'm sitting here writing this entry with a sleeping puppy on my lap. Her name is Bree. She's a solid little sucker and very warm. But she does keep farting and that's just not cool.
The thing is, we can't really keep her here. So I want to make sure she ends up somewhere that is going to be good for her. The only way for us to keep her is to make her an outdoor dog and I've never really thought it was fair to the dog in situations like that. I know that other people can and will have different opinions on keeping dogs outside, but I know it's not for me. I would feel bad because I know that I wouldn't be able to devote the time and attention to her that she deserves.
I very much would like to keep her though. She's spunky and very feisty. She loves my son to death. She gets along with all of our other animals. We've only had her for two days and already she is worming her way into my heart.
We only have her because otherwise she would be dead. She's part Corgi and part pitbull. And the shelter in town said they would put her down if she were brought in. And that's not something that I wanted to see happen. It's not fair to kill her before she's had a chance to live life just because some people got their panties in a bunch and decided that pitbulls are vicious dogs.
Now maybe Bree will grow up to be mean. I don't honestly know. I can't predict the future. But if she does it will be because of her owner, whoever that ends up being.
So tomorrow the search begins for a home for Bree. A place that's going to be big enough, both in size and in love, to allow her to have a better life than I can give her. I could give her a good life, but she deserves the best life.
Stupid dog, making me love it.
