New Family Member

[buzzbass]

My GF and I believe in 2nd chances. We're finally settling into the new house and life together. I feel Like I myself have been given a 2nd chance, but that is another story. With this in mind we decided to do a dog rescue from a local shelter/pound. We wanted to give an adult a 2nd chance. Well, her name when we met her was Canela, that's spanish for cinnamon I believe. I didn't want to keep explaining that to people, so I changed it to something similar. I also have a habit of naming my dogs after TV/Movie characters. I've had a piitie named Rocky Balboa and 2 bassets named Buford T. Justice & Otis Dey. My new girl's new name is Carmela Soprano. She's a pure breed, red nose pittie, that weighs 80 lbs. She is a big moosh. We don't think she's been abused or fought, we are sure she's had at least a couple of litters of pups. She's about 3, and very sweet. She craves affection, I'm guessing she was mainly ignored. Just used as a baby factory, then thrown away.

So far, she's a big time Daddy's girl

Thank you for ending part of a puppy mill instead of supporting one. She is a lucky dog.

Congrats on a wonderful new friend.

Major props to you, buzzbass, for rescuing an adult canine.
So glad to see she went to a loving home such as yours, and may you be blessed with a great companion for many years to come.

My son just bought a pitbull puppy, and it grows noticeably every week. We're guessing he'll end up being in the 70-75 lb range someday soon as well, similar to yours. Here he is from the 'spoiled dog' thread..

Thanks for getting an adult dog rescue. I hope she brings you as much pleasure and happiness into your life as our dog rescue has.

I've always thought highly of you @buzzbass over the years, but that just went up another notch. You're good people as my grandpa would say.

Congratulations on the new addition she is beautiful!

Pittie mix will be the best dog you've ever had.

Here's mine as a pup.....

And watching Daddy cook steaks on the grill.......

During the grilling process, showing that he's really not too bright......

And when dinner is all said & done and he's winding down.....

Adopting from a shelter is a righteous thing. I say this as a shelter director...without people who adopt, it would all grind to a stop.
