It's Gatsby's first birthday.

Man it's been a journey.
And he's been a handful.

From the time i decided i wanted a Bull Terrier i was determined.
my dream dog.

But alas, i was not so good in the money department.
he was $450

and i only managed to raise 200

an old friend pitched in 250 out of the kindness of their heart

and i was ready.

i went to the breeder's house and found him right off [i knew his markings and face after studying his picture for a few weeks :p]

i went straight to that biggest laziest baby and picked him up and held him for the first time

and became Gatsby Destroyer of all Things
