Got my first dog yesterday **pics inside**
After a long and confusing day of trying to pick up my dog Rita (a 5yo Bullmastiff) I finally got her mid afternoon yesterday. She has been
transported all the way from Ohio to Vermont. Been on 3 different planes and about 4 hours in a car. She is the sweetest dog and so lovable I'm lucky
to have gotten her. Here are some pics.

wow, congratulations.
this has been quite a process; i hope you feel that your patience has paid off!
she looks like she'll eat you out of house and home!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Congrats. I just got my bulldog (english) about a month and a half ago.
One of the best things that has happened to me.
She looks amazing. Congrats again.

thanks guys!
BD- she only eats two cups of dog food twice a day. Bullmastiffs are not very active dogs. They are perfectly happy laying on the couch. (as you can
see)
Chris- thanks for the good wishes  Hope your dog is doing well.
Shawn- English Bulldogs was a breed I was looking into and I had contacted someone who was selling them in my local paper. Turned out to be a scam as
it seems a lot of these dog scams are with English Bulldogs. But congrats on your new addition! Dogs are such a wonderful thing.

Yeah, I wasn't looking for one, but my girlfriend works at an animal hospital with a shelter attached to it, and saw him come in. I feel bad for it's
original owners because he was obviously spoiled and seemed to have been very loved.
One of the big sucky things about the economy is the people who rent apartments and have to move into cheaper places (most of which don't allow dogs)
leaves a lot of strays and dogs given up to shelters.

I know, it is sad they let the dog go stray instead of doing the right thing and taking them to a shelter. I just got these pics in an e-mail from the
lady I adopted Rita from. This is what she looked like when they found her as a stray.

thanks everyone. She is settling just fine. I've left her alone a few times over the last couple to prepare her for when I leave for my 12 hour
overnight shifts. She did some whining the first time but has been fine since. I think we're both getting more comfortable around each other
