Shrimp Gumbo Casserole

Hey! So this weekend has been very crazy. And very stressful. So a friend of mind (well now ex friend for now) went out of town and asked me to dog sit. I was fine with it. The dog's name is Buddy, and he is a 6 month old german sheperd mix. We think he's mixed with lab. Anyways, Sat I find out my friend is moving there and is'nt coming back and he left me with the dog. I told him I could send the dog to him, but he said no. So I was stuck. I took the dog home to my house (the friends contract was up for his apt) and I had him in my room. He stayed with me that night. So then Sunday, my parents found out and refused to let the dog in the house and wouldnt even let him in the backyard. So now I need to find a home for him and no one seems to want him. He is the most well behaved puppy I know, and he is even house trained. I have till wednesday to find him a home, so if any of yall know someone who wants a dog, or if yall want a dog, let me know. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

So right now I'm at work, at the hospital, and I have found some more pics for yall to enjoy. The first group of pics is of what we grew up with.
