Okay, so here I am, window shopping for doggies, and came across these two:
Reggie – One of the most handsome boys I've seen. According to the rescue (Save A Bull) he fell out of the back of a truck, breaking his leg beyond repair. He's a blue fawn (doesn't look blue to me) and currently 45 pounds.
I, of course, am completely inept at the whole "posting of pictures" thingy. Just ask the admins here. They know. Great, I just added his video twice, like a moron. Anyway, there he is about a week post amp. Pretty awesome, huh? He is here in the Twin Cities and the rescue's website with his information is http://www.save.....p?id=34656
Now, the other one is too cute for words. She isn't at a fancy rescue like Reggie and they are really struggling with the cost of her amputation ($800, which, if I wasn't broke from Charlie's treatments, I would pay for in a heart beat because it is such a deal!!!). The rescue is just south of the Twin Cities. Anyway, they found her mom (also available for adoption!) and her in northern MN. They believe she was hit by a car. Two broken legs and a crushed pelvis. The one leg is beyond repair, thus she just had her amputation last Friday! Again, I can't post a photo, but here is the website for Ivy: http://www.petf.....1521?rvp=1 and http://www.petf.....267.html . Oh, I can't wait to see how this post turns out!

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
What a cutie!
I loved seeing the video of Reggie running around (so soon after surgery!), it really lifted my spirits about my Max being able to play like normal very soon. Maybe I'll have to make my own video in a few weeks 🙂

Hugapitbull did see them, and he is awesome. I'm not keen on bringing two male pitties into my home, otherwise I'd be on my way. I'm just way too conservative, and would absolutely hate having to play the crate and rotate game. I know a lot of folks who do it and do it successfully, but what a restricted life, for us and the pups.
