BOULDER, Colo.---- A 2-year-old shiba inu taped upside down to a refrigerator during a domestic dispute in Colorado has been renamed Yoshi and been adopted by another family.

The dog formerly known as Rex was placed with the Boulder Valley Humane Society after police discovered him April 14. He was recently adopted by a couple who owns two other shiba inus.

Twenty-year-old Abby Toll is charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals and drug possession. Police say she used packing tape to bind the dog's legs, snout and tail, before sticking him to the side of the appliance.

Our fridge is named Gibson. But then, that’s the name it came with. If I hadn’t remarried, I would have named it after my ex-wife...Snow Queen.

You really like the doe-eyed strung out on meth look?

She can be saved.

I knew a guy with a wooden leg named Pete. I never got the name of his good leg.

I just read the headline. Who would name a fridge “Yoshi”?

[Piranha]

Ok, so I’m late to the party. Sue me.

Wait, who names a fridge at all?

I call the Fridge Mr Perry.

I don’t know that the flogging would do any good, but she should be sterilized. No one who would do such a thing to a dog should be allowed to reproduce.

BUMP!

If you like the look but want a big dog, you might consider an Akita. They are protective and a little aggressive. I wouldn't recommend them to someone who had never raised a dog or didn't have a lot of space. If I had a large property, it would be one of my candidates for a dog.

They come in a wide variety of colors. I chose this shot because it shows the size well.

Good looking dog. Where did you find the miniature cabinets and dishwasher?
