Well, I was really sad that we had to rehome Duke, but I've discovered that I'm not a hound dog person and he is very happy in his new home.

I started looking on Petfinder and of course, I was drawn to a particular breed. However, I never figured my mom would agree to this, but here he is.

Meet Brennan!


I've researched my eyeballs out on Pit Bulls, but I've realized that you really don't understand a lot of the research and things people say until you are actually "owning" one.

He is very energetic, is a work in progress training-wise, and is a huge lovebug!

I, of course, expected the cats and Lily to have a bit of a freakout, and they did. I rushed into introductions though, but I have realized I have to slow things down and take the time to really think about things, as he is a Pit Bull and there are of course risks in owning one.

I think we're leaning towards keeping him, but we'll see how tonight and tomorrow goes to decide for sure.

He's getting enrolled in obedience classes very soon too, as he definitely needs them. I think I'm going to try a "training in your home" trainer. I have to call and make an appointment for her to evaluate him .

Just wanted to introduce him, as I've been exploding with excitement all week in keeping him a secret!
