BIG doesn't mean BAD!

Meet the newest member of our family. His name is "Big" and it's very fitting. He's a two and a half year old Rottweiler. He weighs 100 lbs and is a bit on the skinny side too! So he looks impressively scary! But he's not. He's the sweetest boy. He’s very friendly to strangers and he listens very well. And we haven’t heard him bark yet either! That’s a bit strange…. But I’ll take it (*grin*). Here’s the wild and wooly story of how we got BIG!

We had filled out an adoption application from a rescue agency called Adopt-a-Rott and we were working with one of their volunteers named Pam. Because Pam is in the business, she got an email through the “underground Rottie-Railroad” (that’s how I call it anyway) saying a new dog had just been rescued in the Montreal area named Big. I guess it was a story of neglect over there where they left him outside most of the time. The owner surrendered him to the rescue agency because her son wasn’t taking care of the dog (maybe that’s why he’s a bit skinny). Anyway, he spent a day in a shelter and a day in a temporary foster home (with four other dogs!) and meanwhile they got him neutered and vaccinated. On the third day of his rescue, we drove up to Montreal for our three-hour interview. We passed with flying colours, so did Big! So we signed the adoption contract, packed up the car and drove home. He’s been a good boy ever since!

So if you want to meet a good dog, come over for a visit sometime. Big doesn’t mean bad
