A few new pics of the dogs

We almost lost Remy last night. :(

I was at Norris' new owner's house doing the hand off last night, and Brent was at home getting ready to go back to work. Bella and Remy were playing in the kitchen, and Bella got her bottom jaw stuck in Remy's collar. Brent thought they were fighting and threw a baby gate at them and tried to separate them, but quickly realized what was going on. Remy was literally 2 seconds away from being choked to death. Brent said he thought he was watching our dog die when he couldn't get the collar off (he was using a knife to try to cut it off.) Remy deficated and vomited all over the kitchen, but at the last second, his collar popped off. Brent called me and was so completely in shock that he was screaming and trembling, and I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He took Remy to the emergency vet, and I met them over there. Remy has bite wounds on his neck from Bella's struggle to get free of him, and Brent had a few knife cuts on his hands that he had to go to the hospital to get checked out, but everything is okay here now.

I've never seen my husband crying and trembling so much in the three years we've been together. He said he will never forget the look on Remy's face as he was at the edge of death. Part of me is really glad that I wasn't home to see that. I knew Brent loved our dogs, but I discovered his devotion to them last night.

Vicious pit bull attack caught on film!



My new favorite picture of Norris:

B & R

I'm really glad that Bella and Remy get along so well. Bella is a dominant female, and Remy is a very effeminate, submissive male. Bella can just throw him an evil eye, and he slinks down and licks her face. He worships the ground she walks on, and I love it that way! I don't think their relationship would be as harmonious as it is if Remy ever tried to challenge her. They're best buds right now, but I know their dynamics could change at any time (especially since they're coming into their maturity.) We just take it one day at a time, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.















I love these two knuckleheads!

My angeldog, Remy

Bella will always be my spoiled rotten baby girl, but Remy has a very special place in my heart, too. I don't know if it's because he came from a neglectful home and appreciates the good life now or if it's just how he was born, but he is the sweetest, gentlest, most trusting and loving dog I've ever met. He wants nothing more than to love on anyone who will let him. When Brent and I have friends over, he climbs up into their laps and rests his head on their shoulders. He is a true lover! He has certainly given Brent and me a lot to be grateful for in our lives. I count my lucky stars every day that he came into our lives.
