Waylon
Male from Ginger and Jack
Owned by: Sam Leggett
I was just going to shoot you guys an email to give you an update on him since his 1 year birthday is coming up at
the end of the month. Waylon was the last puppy left from Jack and Ginger's first litter, and was the runt.
Waylon isn't a runt anymore! He is every bit of 65 lbs. Waylon plays HARD! He loves chasing
tennis balls or anything else that moves, but his absolute favorite thing is a laser pointer... he goes absolutely
insane over that thing! Waylon is spoiled rotten and lives in the house with us constantly, but he does go play
outside everyday when the weather permits. He is very obedient and is starting to get protective of the house,
which I like.
I was so happy that the Vet gave him a clean bill of health, and that he was actually very impressed with Waylon.
I have finally found a vet that loves animals and doesn't seem to like any one animal better than the other.
He doesn't seem to buy into the whole stereotype thing, and has been very accepting of Waylon as well as my pit
that I had before Waylon. I wanted to share one funny thing that happened while we were at the vet's office.
We had finished with the appointment and went back into the lobby to pay the bill, and there was an old couple
sitting there with their little lap dogs running around. When we walked out of the exam room the old woman gasped
and said "What a beautiful dog!" The old man then said, "What's the breed?" I knew it was about to get awkward,
but I just smiled and said, "He's a pit bull." They didn't say another word, but I did notice that they gathered
up their little lap dogs and held them the rest of the time. After a few moments of awkward silence another lady
who was standing at the counter paying her bill said, "Well he's still a beautiful dog."
I thanked her for the compliment and continued sitting there with Waylon beside me behaving like a perfect gentleman.
I was a little offended at first, but I think (or at least hope) that Waylon kind of impressed them too.
