Bryce aka Bryson

Early in 2018 after we had settled into our new home in our quaint little town near Topsail Beach, my husband and I discussed getting another dog for our fur baby. Corp aka Corporal was a rescue and has severe separation anxiety. We had recently rehomed one of our puppies, Ruby, because she wasn’t a good fit for our family. Corp however has been an obstacle himself. I wouldn’t say he’s the dog everyone aspires to have but he sure is lucky to have a home like ours. It seems I’ve forgiven more times than he’s probably deserved. Anyhow, we talked it over and since we decided Corp was my husbands dog...I got to chose the new “pup” so I came about Bryce on an adoption site. He was 10 years old and needed a “furever” home. When we first met Bryce he was someone hyper and I was concerned about his bad habits. But I figured they could be broken so I couldn’t say no. Little did I know he would open up a new part of me that I’d discovered in myself.

Bryce is a kindred old soul with a puppy personality that peaks out at the right moments. You can talk to him like you’re sitting talking to your best friend and he understands you. My favorite thing to do is watch Bryce sleep. In fact, if he’s not snoring at night I often find myself wakings up to check on him. Bryce also born and raised a hunter loves to find a trail and hunt out anything living. Once he finds it he will bark to the high heavens “MOM MOM!” “Come get your present I found you!” As I walk over and put him on the head and tell him not today we have to let the turtle go.

I know Bryce’s days on our earth are numbered... With his old arthritic hips that he often hops around on in the mornings and his grumpy man behaviors when the cat is trying to play...Bryce was just what I need when I came home to an empty house and Corp had shredded half the recycle bin. He’s just what I need when I want to fall into a million pieces and cry after a long day at work. It’s no doubt in my mind that if Bryce wasn’t a used and abused hunting dog his whole life, he could have been a therapy dog, or the perfect dog to a family home. I’d like to think my children one day will know Bryce but this of course is uncertain.

One thing that I will say, never repeat, and may regret one day is that Bryce made me a dog person. He made me realize that I am all my animals have when my husband is away. They solely depend on me. They fill their day waiting on me to come home, waiting on me to rub their ears, hop around the living room with them, go for beach walks, and overall nurture them. Bryce will always be my porch pup. The one who watches me work on my truck and the one who helps me tolerate Corp.
