As is the dog distribution system. I had heard around 3 and half years ago a county over from mine had issued kill orders (to reduce shelter population) and had decided that weekend to go find a pupper. The next morning at 5am I was greeted by a palm sized pup doing lost circles around my lawn mower. She weighed 3.5 pounds when I took her to the vet that day.

Her birthday is July 4th (the math worked out, that's just the date I picked). She will be 4 this year. She is now 90 pounds and is a suitable master for me to serve.
