Hi, my name is Lenny.  Boy, have I had quite an exciting year.  I started in Oklahoma where life was pretty miserable.  I lived my entire 2 years outside on a short chain.  I didn’t have any friends or even fresh food and water.  One day, to my surprise, some nice people came to rescue me.  Apparently, Mid-America Bully Breed Rescue (MABBR) had come to MY rescue!  I was happy, but also terrified because everything was so new and I wasn’t sure where I was going.  People were nice to me and gave me a warm spot to sleep, fresh food and water,toys, treats, and even walks.  Those that were caring for me were looking for a spot for me to land for a while.  I really needed to go and live with someone in order to become used to a house.  Iwanted to be a real housedog! 

That is when I met Sean and Kristyn. Apparently, they train dogs and really cared about my well-being.  They felt like they could tackle some of my issues and I was on board.  I started by just getting more comfortable in their house and well-mannered.  Since I came to their home I have also learned a lot of obedience.  I love to do obedience!  In fact, I often cry if I can hear or see them training another dog and I don’t get to be involved.  What a bummer!  So far, I have learned sit, down, stay, leave it, leash walking, wait, and go to place.  My next stop may be Harvard!  I can do these behaviors when they are eating dinner, around other dogs, and when guests come over. 

I have not only learned how to be well mannered in the house and obtained obedience behaviors, but I am now a social butterfly.  I go with Sean and Kristyn to neighborhood picnics and familyfunctions.  Everyone says how handsome andsweet I am.  I am quite the guy!  And did I mention how I love to play with other dogs!  There is always at least one dog to play with at Sean and Kristyn’s house and I really enjoyevery minute of it.  I especially love little dogs, but can hang with the big ones too!  I love to crawl on my belly as they bite me.  Sean and Kristyn have some other critters here too.  They have a cat, Sadie.  Sadie and I are great buddies, although she did whack me in the face at our first official introduction.  They have 2 rats that are fairly uninteresting, and then there is Thomas, a tortoise.  I’m not really a big fan of that guy.  He is a little scary and I’m not sure he and I will ever be friends.

So far things are really looking up for me.  I went from rags to riches in a dog’s eyes.  I now know how to behave in a house and love every part of it.  Sean always tells me that my obedience rocks and that I’m so tolerant of little puppies biting every inch of me!  Kristyn just keeps saying how easy I am to live with and how friendly I am!  They tell me my weaknesses are Thomas (who likes tortoises anyway?) and car rides (I used to puke, but I’m getting better!).  I guess all in all I would make someone a great dog.  If you think you can offer me a permanent spot to live and are capable of giving me love, attention, and exercise please tell the folks at MABBR or Sean and Kristyn so that they can hook us up!
