Here are some pics of the newest member of the family, Honey the Dog. She is a six year old pit bull, and totally amazing. She’s kind of a big deal =) Honey was at the D.C. Humane Society on Georgia Avenue for three months after her owner moved to DC from California and gave her up when the apartment building they moved to wouldn’t let him/her have dogs. In those three months, she has done all sorts of stuff…she has her AKC Good Citizen Certification, and she was in the Wounded Warriors program where injured solders learn skills, like dog training. More info about Honey’s amazingness is here.

So far life with dog has been interesting and totally unexpected. The biggest fear was that she wouldn’t get along with cats, but Honey doesn’t seem to care about the cats at all, they just sort of hang out. She can sit, stay, sit pretty, lay down, and give hugs, but for some strange reason she won’t chase a ball.  At all.  Or a bone.  Or anything I throw unless it’s a treat. When I throw a ball, the cats go running after it. And the cats keep trying to go after the dog’s food, which is hilarious since the dog is five times the size of each cat.

Sup. What you lookin' at?
