a nugget of information about my dog ~*~

hellooo first blog post lets go. I'm going to just talk about my dog for this one (since that's all I do in real life too)

I have a 2-year-old mixed breed dog named Doobie Gray ! he is 69% American pit bull terrier, 26% Siberian husky, and 5% American bulldog ! which means he is a wrinkly bug-eyed freak who likes to be as loud as he can and be in my personal space as much as possible. I love him so much though, he truly is my favorite little guy in the whole world. I found him in a gravel parking lot on mothers day of 2024. my band was supposed to be playing a show in a bar right down the road from the big gravel lot, and we pulled over to call a friend to inquire about parking and unloading our music equipment when i saw a cute brown spotted dog sitting all alone in the middle of the lot. i told the guitarist of my band to pull over and "get that dog" so we did! i opened my door and jumped out and Doobie ran over to me looking all sad. he had a chain around his neck and a collar with no tag, and he instantly cuddled into my chest as soon as he got close to me. we walked around asking people if they knew whose dog this was, if they had seen him before, etc. but nobody had any answers for us. our band played our set and we drove home, and i had texted my roommate at the time (shoutout P Dizzle) that i had a "puppy surprise" on the way. we got home and Doobie instantly snuggled into my bed like he knew he was home!

 i was very unprepared for a dog, much less a young dog. i always knew i wanted a dog eventually but i knew i wasnt nearly "stable" enough for a dog (financially, emotionally, housing wise) so i posted him to a few local lost and found pets facebook groups and websites, checked everyday for a picture of him on the internet as well, and after a few weeks i knew nobody was looking for him. at that point though, i already had the start of a bond with him. id gotten him to the vet for vaccoines and to see how old and healthy he was (vet said i had a healthy 6 month old puppy, yippee!!!!) and all my friends were well acquainted with him. i knew he was my dog. i had a lot of learning to do really fast, i wanted to make sure he was getting everything he needed physically and mentally, so i ordered a DNA test to see his breed makeup to more accurately find what enrichment would suit him. he loves walks, sniffing the ground, pulling the leash (when harnessed) tug of war, fetch, and generally anything that involves lots of physical exercise and being with me. he is very very dog selective, his only dog friends being my moms dog, my sisters dog, my partners dog, and my stepdads dog. he seems to like little dogs more, and i believe he is trying to resource guard me from other dogs so weve been working on that. im running out of brain power to type this though, so i will continue this another time! bye for now :3 :3
