Elmo says, "I have never been loved like this before" -- and we think he LIKES it! |
Well, here's Elmo, the first of Asia's babies to go to his forever home --
-- more about Asia and her babies can be found here...
|
|
|
Here's Elmo at two weeks with his momma, Asia...
.... Asia went back to NYC two days ago, to be spayed and returned to her owner -- she's over 7 years old, so she needs that special place in her golden years... :D
|
Anyway, Elmo's on his way to his forever home at 8 weeks -- neutered, microchipped, wormed and up-to-date with shots -- !! |
|
|
Here's the first of the family we meet, Lynn. Her husband and she have two children, and have had two pit bulls in the past... |
At the home visit, Elmo warms up to momma quickly! |
|
|
Lynn shows me pictures of her past two pit bulls, who both died of cancer.
The love this family has for these dogs is amazing -- their previous pup died last fall, and the family is just now ready to love again -- 7 months later --
-- they have even gone so far to stop their lawn treatment, for fear that it may bay carcinogenic (which is a good idea, in my opinion) --
-- they are also interested in the raw diet --
|
Anyway, back to Elmo and momma... |
|
|
Next Elmo meets his new brother, new sister, and his sister's best friend... |
|
As Elmo reviews the home, his new sister tells stories how she'll dress Elmo up in dresses for tea --
-- his reaction is hard to hide -- !!
|
Elmo gets a slow introduction to the family cat --
-- slow introductions are good, since puppies don't quite know what a cat is yet, and bad introductions are NEVER forgotten!
|
|
The kitchen floor becomes a play-place! |
|
|
Out in the lawn, love for the little man has begun... |
... his love continues... |
|
So, Elmo and I hug and kiss good-bye... |
|
|
... and he assures me, "I'm all set" -- !! |
... with that, my work is complete --
-- Elmo is loved, and in his forever home...
|
|
|
... in the 11th hour, the neighbors stop by --
-- they will be Elmo's baby-sitters when his family is away, as they were for the family's prior pups...
... their first words, "Oh, we're glad you got another pit bull" --
-- words have never been sweeter!
|
So, with that, we're done --
-- Elmo is loved and loving, and home forever --
-- no breed bans needed here -- just responsible ownership and plenty of love --
THANK YOU, ALL, for helping keep this breed a family dog!
