Well... I decided I have been without a best buddy long enough. I have missed my pitbull Major since he passed on, and a large empty spot remained for several years. I never replaced Major as you all know my health was not so great and I did not wish to commit to a dog only to quite possibly leave him behind for woobie to deal with.
With my improving health, my hopes of having a new buddy has been growing and today I have been granted a new best buddy.
Family... friends... meet Diezel!!!

Now, allow me to put this in perspective. That is a picture of Diezel at 2 1/2 weeks of age. The girl holding him is about ten or eleven years old. Yes.... Diezel will be a monster when he grows up. He is a Saint Bernard/Husky mix.
