buddy

ok, so....my husband woke me up a few nights ago...he came bounding into the bedroom sometime after 10pm with the d-ville newspaper in his hand....'look at this picture honey- doesn't he look just like redbone?'......it took me a few seconds to figure out that i was looking at the humane society pet of the week, and even longer to figure out that he was asking my blessing to adopt this dog......he does look a lot like our beloved dog redbone, a purebred vizsla who we bought as a puppy from a family near versailles before we ever had children.....buddy looks like a more full-figured version of redbone, and certainly with some extra hound of some sort added into his mix.....my spouse and child #1 stopped by on friday morning to take a closer look, with me following along after work.....i signed the papers this morning, along with children #2 and #3.....he seems like one of the family already.....sadly, we do not get to pick him up from our vet until wednesday afternoon- the shelter transports the animal to the vte of your choice to be neutered before you take possession- seems about the only way to assure that the deed is done.....we cannot wait....
