We (I) couldn't bear the emptiness in our house and our hearts any longer. It's hard to have a dog -- a beloved member of your family -- for 9 years and then suddenly, nothing. I always knew that the next dog we would have would be a bigger dog and that we would adopt from the pound. I went to our local shelter, visited twice, and ended up coming home with our sweet boy Pip. Pip (formerly "Oscar"), was found in a parking lot with a collar, but no owner. He had been in the clink for about 6 weeks. When I visited the dogs, he was the only one who was not barking and not jumping. He had such a sweet personality. Best we can tell, he is a lab/husky mix. Since coming home, he has been amazing. He's sweet, great with the kids, fully house trained, and hardly ever barks. For those who knew Bullit, you understand how that must be strange for us. And the neatest part about Pip is how much the kids love him. They came with me to the shelter and so they feel like it's their dog. We're so happy he came into our lives.
