I got Dallas on a whim. I was doing my taxes and kinda bummed out about it. Something about seeing the "worth" of your life itemized line after line.
I found him on the shelter's web site, I went to go see him. He was so good looking and tiny in his cage. I asked to meet him and they took me to a little fenced off area with grass. The attendant handed Dallas to me, and he was this little frightened, shivering puff of hair. I sat on the ground with him and he just huddled against my leg, he was so scared. He came with a whole list of cautions from the shelter, I guess the owner that surrendered him really did not understand the breed at all.
I went home and thought about it overnight, came back the next day and committed to taking him. They kept him for a few more days so they could neuter him. I was so excited shopping for his supplies. I went to pick him up and the rest is history.
I hope to get him a brother this year. The new addition will come from a shelter or a rescue only.
This is my little man the day he came home from the shelter. |
