It's been almost 2 years we lost our beloved Peanut. The year before we had lost our Toffee Dog, both due to age. Toffee was 15 and Peanut was 14. Both dogs had come from the Humane Society of Pulaski County in Arkansas. This past Christmas my oldest daughter (10 years old) told her daddy and me that if we got a new puppy she would give back all of her Christmas presents. Her younger brother (8) said he would do the same. We went to the county animal shelter and looked at all the sweet dogs and this lady asked if I had seen the dogs in her car. She opened her back hatch and there was Scraps in a kennel with another puppy. His name at the time was Felix. I told the lady I wanted to see the sweet brown one and in an instant he won my heart and my daughter's. My husband was still inside the shelter trying to find the perfect dog to fit our family. He came outside with the boys and I told him he had to see this sweet little guy and Scraps melted his heart just a fast. He's been with us 4 1/2 months now and he has been a joy to have in the house. We have 4 children 10, 9, 4 and almost 3. He may be a small guy, but he thinks he's as big as horse and gives the kids a run for their money. We feel very fortunate to have him in our family.
