#22 Just Wow

So this little guy was left tied to a tree in a park 2 or 3 towns away from where we adopted our little chia seed… my wife is a vet tech and he was brought in because her clinic is the only one in the state that does low cost or occasionally free spay/neuter clinics so animal control brought him in hopes it would make him more adoptable…. we kinda think there is a decent chance they are related. Soooooooo we are now probably gonna have 2 vicious beasts to haunt the neighborhood.
