You know I really hated to do this...
Adios mother ****er!
Such a internet tough guy, bet you sent him a PM crying about him being mean too, like you've sent me multiple times.
Adios closet case!
And, already joined under a new name.....
That's trolling 101 here.

How about that...
Well, to stay on topic. I did purchase about 1,000' of fencing today from tractor supply for our new house. I'm going to completely fence the whole 5 acres but our neighbor's side is fenced as they have horses and I plan on having a 4 post wooden fence across the front. We'll have a lot going on in the next few months for sure.

Si was neutered 2 days ago, stayed one night at the Vet and I picked him up yesterday. So far, he's doing well and getting in some good sleep while we watched TV last night.

It appears he does not have to wear the "cone of shame"?

No, our vet doesn't recommend the Elizabethan collars [cone of shame], he's not particularly tall and could impair his range of vision. if he starts messing with it they have an inflatable collar that goes around their neck that works as well.
Lol that's one happy dog. Props to you and your family for giving him a second chance.
Way to go OP! My wife and I rescued two pits a couple of years ago. We were at the shelter and noticed how the area where they held the animals had different houses in a u-shape. The way the attendant described their process of getting new dogs, I knew the shelter on the right was basically death row. So my wife and I immediately went to this one. A few cage down on my right was a male pit/boxer mix (brindle)who was so happy to see us and was extremely loving. There was another dog in there with him, white female pit/lab mix, sitting in the corner looking terrified to hell. I mean shaking, and wouldn't make eye contact with us. So we took the two of them out to the play area and she lit up like a puppy! After seeing the two playing with each other and how friendly and loving they were to us, we adopted them right there and took them home. I've had 40+ dogs since I was a kid (I lived on a farm) and my boy is the most loyal and loving dog I've ever had. The girl is my wife's dog and she doesn't leave her side. Moral of the story, save a life at the shelter, trust me, they know what you've done for them and they won't forget it!

Yes! I really believe that they appreciate being saved. The moral of the story is that most people should look into adopting dogs that were served a bad deal but they always end up paying in dividends.

He's loving it, his last 2 foster families were good people but had other dobermans. He's our only big dog and is getting lots of attention. I'm sort of amazed that a dog that was treated so badly can be so sweet.
