I have always been a dog lover and I don’t know what possesses me to be attracted to dogs that are otherwise “not” considered the media’s ideal choice for family companionship, but I don’t really care- I have always marched to the beat of my OWN drum (and mind). I ran across Sully on pet finder one day and as soon as our eyes met I was hooked and had to know more about this little guy. Mentioning that I wanted to adopt a “pit bull” did not go over very well with ANYONE in my family but after doing a weeks’ worth of research in finding out about the TRUTH about this breed my family was willing to give him a chance. When Sully walked into our front door for the first time I knew he was part of the family. After taking a little while to warm up I think he was hooked as well, everyone instantly formed a bond. I knew within the first 5 minutes this was going to be my boy! We have had him for a very short time as I write this but I have never been so head over heels in love with a dog before in my life. We have this “thing” that just tells us we were meant to find each other, and as I watch my husband cuddle up with him and get excited to bring him out for our family walks it just makes me smile because in less than 5 minutes Sully totally shattered any bad misconception thoughts that my husband had formed about him before he even met him. If only everyone had the same opportunity to experience that! Today Sully is, honestly, spoiled rotten; he sleeps in our bed (right in the middle) and even convinced my husband that he too deserved a hamburger on the grill the other night. He has totally befriended our Rottweiler Mia and little Morkie named Jasper, like they have been together forever. I just love to wrap my arms around this little guy and squeeze him at night, I hope one day I can squeeze out ALL the bad memories he may have of what his previous life consisted of, because I now he didn’t deserve any of that. I also squeeze him a little extra too in just knowing so many of his kind out there are SO badly misconceived and will probably never find a home like he did because of the fear placed within us from the media. I wish everyone who wanted a dog would open up their homes to a pit bull in need because I guarantee they would never find a more behaved, loyal, loving dog ever.

I miss Sully, my foster, but he is in very good hands with his new family and I know they are spoiling him rotten. Glad he found his forever home!

He says he misses you too! :) It is 9:00 and movie night! He is already in bed wagging his tale waiting for us to come in and Easton to drop some popcorn!
