He was flown up from a high kill shelter in California to Spokane and we brought him home to his "forever home" last month.
From day one Jeff has never jumped on anyone, tried to climb on our furniture, growled at the kids (ever after the little one pulled his tail), begged from the table or even slept in our bedroom (yes there is a bed in there...). We have beds in every room, a dog door for him to go out and play and lots of treats and love for him. He prefers to lay in the sunshine on warm days and snuggle up on his bed by the fire on cold ones. It is like we won the dog lottery. Jeff is so kind, obedient, smart and gentle - taking treats from a three year old with care.
But... he is a lab "mix". Yes, probably with some pit bull mixed in. Does that mean everyone is scared of him or feels it necessary to point that out? Yes. Everyone feels it necessary to walk into my home look at my docile dog sitting proudly by the door (not jumping or barking) and say - "ohhhhh... he is part Pit!". Um, thanks? I will take that as a compliment...
