The New addition to our Family!

MEET WEEZY!
The day we pick him up from the shelter. Dec 31st.
He had to get neutered that's way he has a cone on.

We all have wanted a dog for a while, especially the kids. We never committed to getting one because we knew how much work they could be. We didn’t want to be one of those people (families) who got a dog tied it out back, never walked them, and didn’t pay any attention to their pets. So the day after Christmas, we were watching Animal Planet and the show that was on was about dogs competing in races and diving to get the best time or distance. We were stuck on the TV in amazement (they were all so cute). After that show came on one about training your dogs. So the kids jump on the computer to search for dogs available in the area. We didn’t want to pay too much for one. To my surprise Jeff was on the computer bright and early (every morning since Friday) watching the dog whisperer on you tube and other training videos. So I knew he wanted one just as much as the kids. On Saturday we took the kids to a few pet stores just so they could see how much they cost (we wanted them to know they weren’t cheap). I then looked online for shelters and since Jeff was off on Tuesday we decided to take the kids to the SPCA and Lied Animal shelter just to look. We went to the SPCA first and there was a few that we liked but not enough for us to take out (the dogs were a little too loud for us). We did ask about one but he had been abused in the past so he most likely wouldn’t have work for out family. So we went to the shelter next and that’s when we saw Weezy. We looked at all the dogs before we went back to him. We took him our of his kennel and play and walked him for about 45 mins. We all fell in love with him so we had to save him! Unfortunately we couldn't take him him that night because he had to have surgery the next morning to get neutered. So we picked him up News Years Eve!
