As most of you know through Facebook, we recently adopted an English Bulldog from a local animal shelter. We have been wanting a bulldog for a few years now, but did not want to spend the $1,500 plus to purchase a bulldog puppy. After getting lucky and finding Leia at a shelter listed online we decided to get her and bring her home. We did this while the boys were in school as we wanted to surprise them as they got off of the bus.
She does have a sad story that comes with her. Some of you have asked why she was in the shelter to begin with. Her original owner took her to the vet to have a microchip inserted. While that was happening the owner passed away. The family of the man took Leia for a bit but decided they did not want her, which is how she ended up in the shelter. She is super sweet & the boys love having a dog around to play with.
Below is video of the boys getting off of the bus to find their new puppy. Honestly, it was pretty anti climatic. They acted like they already knew. Oh well!
And now for a few pictures..
