After some searching online, we visited a no-kill shelter and adopted an American Pitbull Terrier Mix named Syrus. Syrus was fixed and had all of his shots but we wanted to take him to a veterinarian and get him checked out. Being in a relatively new …

The day before Reading was hit with more than eighteen-inches of snow, Syrus was acting a little strange. He seemed to be favoring one of his hind legs, at the time I simply thought he must have slept on it improperly and it fell asleep.

Over the past few weeks I have been trying to shoot a video to share a few words on how Syrus’ obedience training has been going. This week I was unable to attend the class and my wife filled in for me. Without any first hand information, I decided to skip the video this week.
