Anyway... the short, short version of the story is: we went to the humane society on Sunday, picked out our favorite pooch and made him ours. I suppose we could have looked at more than one dog (as is recommended), but we happened to fall in love with this little guy within the first 3 seconds of meeting him, so what was the point, right?
He's just about the sweetest thing with fur you'll ever meet and he will love you with his whole heart instantaneously. He is also rather unique looking (35 lbs. Australian Cattle Dog mix of some sort). So, without further adieu...
Everyone meet Grizzly Furr (har har har):
We hope that you will have a chance to meet Grizz some day!
UPDATE: Grizzly has gone down a notch or two in the "sweetest dog in the world" category after attempting to fight every dog we passed by on our most recent walk. Oh well, it's hard to be #1 at everything. We still love you, Griz.
