I lost my Redbone hound last year. I had not expected another dog to come into our life quite yet, but am happy one has.
Gracie came to live with us a couple of months ago. While she was well fed and such, she had spent most of he last five years in a crate because of her owner's work schedule. Her former owner took another job which would require her to be away even more so the trainer who had worked with our Redbone asked us if we would be interested.
Gracie spends her days with me. We walk 5 miles every morning. She usually sits on the back porch or office with me while I do my consulting practice. She has her run of our half-acre backyard where she terrorizes squirrels. She goes with me wherever I go, my obsessive girlfriend. Having given up on the idea that I would ever have an obsessive girlfriend, it's been great. She is incredibly loving and has become a part of the family. She will never see another crate.
