Well, yanno i've been at an animal sanctuary for the past few weeks and i've decided to stay there volunteering until they can get me paid work there. Dont know how long that will be, i'll just have to be patient.
Well, patient in one department, just not the other. I just couldn't resist the cute face of one of the staffy x labrador pups there. He was one of three and all of his brothers finally found homes and he was the only one left. I couldn't leave him there, so now i have him! ^.^ In a way, i reckon he chose me as when i was cleaning the pups out, he was the one who always wanted me to fuss him when his other two brothers were busy fighting each other. I fetched him home yesterday and he's settling in nicely. He's very well behaved, a bit scared of stairs and likes to watch telly! ^.^ My other dog is a bit grumpy with him, but she'll settle down in time and probably let him know she's the boss around here! ^.^
I named him Griffin and as soon as i upload pics to my PC i'll show them to you!
;D

I know someone who has a staffy lab, it is mental, and huge and strong, and very intelligent and it likes to eat shoes.

Hey Kristie! The sanctuary i volunteer at have a no kill policy ^.^ Unless it's absolutely necessary i.e: for the animals health. I had to accompany a staff member the other week when someone fetched a very ill cat in that they 'couldn't afford vet bills for'. It was too late for the cat, we rushed it to the vets, only for them to tell us it would be kinder to the cat to put it to sleep :'( Poor thing!
I've not tried frisbie yet with Griffin! We have one too! ;D Maybe when the weather looks better i'll introduce him to it on the back garden! :D
Here's a piccy of him and the older dog we have chewing their bones together! She bosses him around most of the time!
