Happy National Puppy Day!

Hi Blog world,

Happy National Puppy Day everyone!

This month has been full of emotions the weekend of March 11, was the 2nd anniversary of Noodles passing. Now let me introduce you to Duke-Noodles’ successor.  Duke is a black and White, 48-pound Pit Bull Terrier.  Grandpa found Duke dodging cars that were in our street. Duke ran up into our garage and grandpa let him into our house. I have to admit that I was a little scared of him at first because I’ve only seen Pit Bull Terriers on TV, and I’ve heard different rumors about the breed.

We kept him until I found the dog’s owner information on a pet Facebook page. Grandpa reached out to the owner, and because the owner was out-of-state for the holidays, grandpa said he would keep the dog until the owner returned.  Once the owner returned from his trip, grandpa and his owner talked and the owner told grandpa that he could not take the dog back because of some personal reasons. Grandpa told him he would keep Duke until we could find him another home.

That weekend the owner came by with Duke’s supplies and the following week grandpa took Duke to the vet so he could get caught up on his medicine and shots. Duke was not a happy camper that day.

Duke, quickly won our hearts, and I can’t help but love how many silly things he does. He loves to play tug, fetch and go for walks.

I’ve been praying for Noodles successor for a long time, I’ve been praying for another Boston Terrier, Labrador Retriever or a Golden Retriever. However, God had other plans, and I can’t thank him enough for this blessing that he has given me.

Blog soon,
