My Dozer



I can't believe that he's almost 6 months old, I remember when we first got him at 6 weeks. We were so worried that he was going to be a handful and we were right he is but we wouldn't give him up for the world.

He's the most stubborn, energetic and yet loving puppy. He can't not get excited when he sees someone, even if he's never meet them before. Everyone is a new opportunity for him to find someone to love on and play with.

Dozer is a mutt, Lab and German Shephard mix that we picked up at the parking lot of a store. There was a lady "giving" away puppies for a small fee from the back of her truck. On our way out of the store I saw one of the puppies out of the corner of my eye and me being me I couldn't pass by without at least petting them. My husband wasn't that interested in the puppies so we were getting ready to leave not thinking we'd be taking one home with us. That's when Dozer came up to the back of the truck and started pawing at me and looking up at me with his sweet big eyes. Once I picked him up he fell right to sleep in my arms. I looked over at my husband and he was handing the lady money. He knows me so well that he knew there was no way I was leaving without this puppy.

Dozer has completely taken over since we brought him home. He has run of the house, goes to work with me at the office, sleeps between mommy and daddy at night (he has to be in the middle or he can't sleep), and has us at his beck and call when he rings his potty/outside bell.

Sometimes I look at him when he's sleeping or chewing on his toy being an angel and am suprised how much I've come to love this pup...I never thought I'd be one of those people where their dog was like family I just assumed if I got one they would be just a pet and no more. Boy was I wrong!
