Why a Blog for a Dog?

Let me first explain my reasoning behind creating a blog just for the likes of DuPont.

DuPont is a lot of things.  He's a dog who is going to give somebody a ton of fun and joy for the duration of his lifetime.  He's incredibly charming and he's a show stopper in the looks department. 
At appx 55lbs, give or take a few, he is not a real large dog physically.  DuPont is housebroken, he's magnificent in his crate and doesn't mind hanging out there overmuch.  He's great with other dogs, and while he chases my cat, he displays behavior that can only be translated into 'Oh shit!' when the cat turns around and takes a swipe at him. He's also great with kids, though he doesn't understand personal space so really small children probably aren't a good idea just because DuPont will step on them. Like, literally step on them.

If I am ticked off at DuPont and not allowing him on the couch with me, he will sit down on my foot and lean against my leg, effectively melting my heart into a puddle. Then he will turn his head and look at me like he's never met a woman as beautiful as myself, which of course makes me want to smooch on him, so I allow him back onto the couch for a snuggle. 

He sounds like just the perfect, ready-made dog right?  Wrong.  Very, very wrong.  DuPont is incredibly awesome, let me make that clear.  However, he is going to walk all over anybody who comes in here thinking that they won't have to put much effort into owning DuPont.

So.  In a very real effort to ensure that DuPont finds his soul mate in the person or family who adopts him, I have created this blog, and I'm sincerely hoping that anybody who is seriously considering DuPont as an adoption candidate will read it in full.  The plan is to post photos and videos of DuPont, as well as all of the good and the bad.  There is definitely way more good than there is bad, I promise.

If you have thought about submitting an adoption application for DuPont and this blog deters you from adopting him, then good.  It means that it probably wasn't meant to be.  But if you read this and you begin to fall in love with this obnoxious redhead, then he may just be the dog for you.

So let me begin with...  Have you ever seen the movie "Marley & Me"?   :o)
