Hey Everyone,

You all know us as the parents of this amazing boy, Ludo:

As I mentioned in my post about Ludo, on July 16th we had to say goodbye for now and made the hard choice to have him put to sleep. His cancer had progressed way too far and way too fast. We had made the decision at the beginning of all of this to let Ludo go before he got too bad. It was a hard day (and still is incredibly hard) and we both thought we would wait a little bit to adopt a new dog. 

Fast forward all the way to Monday July 19th and we bring home this little guy from Animal Control:

Everyone, meet Gurgi! He's a pitbull mix and was only four months old when we brought him home! He is such a sweetheart who loves to go on walks, cuddle, and sit on patios. We were so happy with Gurgi, but given how large of a hole Ludo left in our hearts (he was a big boy), we knew there was room for more. Both Tessa and I love pitbulls and Tessa just happened to find a Tripawd pitbull in need of a good home in our area. Ludo had been such an inspiration post-surgery and after going through the amputation with him, we both knew we were well equipped to add a new Tripawd to our family! So about two weeks after bringing Gurgi home, we added this little lady to our family:

This is 7 month old Greta! She came to Minnesota by way of Texas where she was born to a backyard breeder. Sometime when she was around 9 weeks old we think she was bitten by another dog causing an infection in her front right leg. The breeder took her to the vet to have her put down because he could no longer sell her. They said no way, amputated the leg, and kept her as an office dog until she could be picked up by Save a Bull MN rescue in Minnesota. She is a big stinky girl who loves car rides, snuggling, and (according to her foster mom) swimming! Tessa already booked some time at a dog swimming pool and we're looking forward to seeing her go!

Both her and Gurgi became fast friends and are totally in love with each other! It's so fun to watch them run around and get crazy together! Once we're past the integration phase of the new adoption we're going to work on getting Greta used to riding in Ludo's stroller while Gurgi trots along beside her! Here they are showing off their Tripawd Pride!

I hope you like the pictures! We're so happy to have these two little crazies in our lives and appreciate all the kind words all of you have shared after Ludos passing. Because of all of you, we were able to make Ludos last months more enjoyable, pain free, and happy. We hope to take all of the advice and lessons we learned from him to make sure Greta (and honorary Tripawd Gurgi) has a great and full puppy life!
