Our New Addition

About 3 weeks ago we lost a much loved pet. Frank was an older dog when we got him...a pit bull that had been fought. He followed a friend of my son's home one day and he wasn't allowed to keep him so, our son brought him to our house. Of course, seeing the shape he was in we couldn't not let him stay to at least heal. I admit I was concerned about his personality with it obvious he had been put in the fighting ring. Couldn't have a dog with a more loving one.

We were not interested much in getting another dog but the one we still have was unhappy alone so we decided to look around. We did know if we got one, we would prefer a smaller breed. Max is a doberman/terrier mix and still on the hyper side. I was interested in a calmer dog as well.

Walt found our new family member at a shelter today. He's about 6 they estimate and a dachshund/pug mix. He's small enough and calm and Max is happy again. The new addition came with the name Gus and I think it suits him rather well. He and Max hit it off and he's lovable and calm and I feel will fit in our family from the start.

Here is the lovable guy.
