Does Anyone Want A Dog?

Does anyone want a pit bull/lab mix, or know anyone who might? There was an incident with Chili Pepper and Roadie and we have to get rid of him. It breaks my heart because Robbie and I have raised Chili from a puppy, but I can't risk anything happening to Tristan after what happened to Roadie. I'll explain...

About two weeks ago Roadie was chewing on one of Chili's raw hides. Chili got mad. Normally Chili will just let it go, but this time he didn't. He bit Roadie's head and Roadie's eye popped out of the socket. It was just hanging out of his head! It was probably one of the most traumatizing things I've ever seen.

We had to take Roadie to the vet right away. It was about 8:30 at night when this happened so they were closed. Luckily, the vet had an emergency number to call. We were able to get a hold of him and he met us at the vet office.

Roadie had to have emergency surgery and had to stay over night and most of the next day. The vet was able to get his eye back in, but poor Roadie is now blind in his left eye. Other than that he is okay. Thank God!

I love Chili to death, but all I have been thinking about since this happened is what if this had happened to Tristan? I would be devastated! It was bad enough that it happened to Roadie. I knew right away that we had to get rid of him. Robbie wanted to keep him. Chili is Robbie's dog and he is very attached to him. We argued and fought about it constantly until two days ago. He now realizes that we can't take a chance on our son.

So, we need to find a good home for Chili. We don't want any money for him. We are giving him away. It needs to be someone that will love him and give him the attention that he needs. Someone who doesn't have young kids or other pets. He is great with adults and older kids though!

A big, fenced yard is a must! He has a lot of energy and needs to be able to run around. Someone who is active and loves outdoors activities. Robbie and I used to take him to the dog park, camping, fishing, on long walks, etc. If he doesn't have this he gets antsy and he'll drive you crazy! Lol!

I'm really sad about everything that has happened, but I have to think about my family and what is best for us. I wish we had the time to give Chili the attention that he needs, but with a new baby we don't anymore. If you all could spread the word I would greatly appreciate it. I would rather someone that we know have him to put my mind at ease and so that we might be able to visit him once in awhile. Thanks everyone!
