blue109 Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 Kids have been bugging and im finally working reasonable hours so we have been looking around. Went to a shelter today and I was drawn like a magnet to a pair of pooches. Beautiful 6mo old brindle lab/boxers. I look at the name tags and they were Ender and Mazar. If you are a scifi nerd like me you will recognize those names instantly. Mazar was spoken for so we played with ender a little as well as a few others. Left to eat lunch and decided to drive back and see him again. He went ape schiff soon as he saw us again so we dropped a deposit. He need shots and a snip so hopefully we pick him up next week. my wife may or may not be under the impression that he wont get much bigger than his current 33lbs lol.

Armed Eye Doc Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 He is a handsome fellow! He will be a great addition to the family. Make sure to keep him busy and stocked with chew toys. Labs love to chew everything.

He looks like my buddy’s pit mix who is an OX!!!
sketch Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 good find bro! Dogs are they key to an enjoyable life. Many great adventures in your family's future🍻
blue109 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) My wifes first choice was a little pit mix. She didnt really look like a pit in the kennel and there was no breed label but when we got her in the play yard I could really tell the pit was strong in her. Best dog I ever had was a pit/boxer and this little girl seemed like a sweetheart but this shelter had tons of pits and alot of them had face cuts so without knowing a history I wasnt comfortable with the idea of adopting one. Ender had a pretty strong reaction to us on our first pass. Even another person standing near us noticed and said "i think your dog found you" so when we went back a few hours later and he went all crazy it sealed the deal. I will say I hate walking through those rows of cages and seeing the un-cute older dogs that people discarded who have little chance of adoption. They look sad. Hurt my heart.

unforgiven Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 Happy for you brother good looking doggie.
jtallen83 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 Love that Brindle look, gonna be as great dog for the kids. One of the biggest downsides to my career on the road, wouldn't be fair to the dog leaving it for weeks at a time, cat doesn't give a schit what I do.

Same here that’s what I love about them, they don’t give a fuck weather I’m gone 1 hour or 1 week as long as there’s still food
blue109 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Posted March 10, 2020 Little guy came home ahead of schedule. Hes awesome. Total cuddle bug. i made him a bed and when i went to check on him he was sleeping with the kids. I woke him up when I was getting ready for work last night and he went right into guard dog mode and came tearing down the hallway barking. Its going to be good.
Armed Eye Doc Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 He sounds like an awesome addition to your family.
