brutus needs a friend

as a father I have two sons... as I know the value of friendship, companionship, and brotherhood
when I lisa and I were shopping for a dog some 8 years ago
we shopped for two dogs
as I felt that the dog needed a companion
someone or something that spoke their language
someone that they could spend their days with
someone that they could grow old with

roscoe died before his time
brutus is now without his brother, his friend, his companion
I can not fill that void
I can not chase squirrels
I am not as threatening to the mailman
and
I am definitely not as fast when I run through the woods

so...
we begin our search for a second dog
a dog for the family
a dog for the dog
