A Lover, Not a Fighter ( A Rant)

So cute! I hear all the hubbub about the pits and there is no denying if they become aggressive and bite someone, they can do some damage. They are also quite strong. The thought on the back of my mind is I wonder if they are being bred with other aggressive pits. My stepson had one, a female, but she was the sweetest dog I've ever seen and very submissive. He sent her to obedience school and she listened (took commands) quite well. Reminds me of the gray one in your photo. Our shelters are loaded with pits and many look pure, some are mixed. There is quite a stigma and people have become afraid of them, so why do they continue to breed them? Unless you are intending to breed, have them neutered. I think it is a shame to have to put these animals down, especially if they haven't attacked anyone. It may be more of a people problem, they are so cute as puppies but once grown, they need training, attention and love.

Most of it is a people problem -- and ALL dogs need training attention and love. My sweet girl Bonnie, a rescue pittie, is a dead ringer for the grey/black and white one in the picture, and, though she was fearful when I first got her and needed some medical care (she had not been treated well in her previous life), she is now the sweetest, most loving dog you can imagine. She LOVES children and has little tea parties with the little girls next door to me -- she is in dog heaven with all those little girls paying attention and fussing over her. She even lets them put a tea party hat with flowers on it on her. I've had her a little over a year and she's now about 8 or 9. She's the BEST dog and LOVES to give kisses.

Not that it's so hot here, she can usually be found right under the swamp cooler vent, lying on her back with all her feet in the air and an upside down smile on her face.
 

Likewise a story today...Callie enjoys sunning himself on the back porch. My daughter came out and wanted to paint my toenails. Then she looked at himself...stretched out like a tipped cow...tipped bull? She sat beside him and proceeded to give him lovely toes as well. This big handsome boy, so imposing that grown men will calmly walk into traffic to avoid passing him. There he was basking in the sun. He lifted his head briefly to see what she was doing, gave a big yawn and fell sound asleep again.

Thank you so much:D Now I can go to work with a big smile. One of the best things about working in a pet store is cuddling all the visiting puppies. I'd only adopt adults, already housebroken and more desperate for a home...But I'd take this baby in a heartbeat:love_heart::love_heart::love_heart:
 
Yup...Stumpy is a tuxedo bob tailed Manx. They better her by sixty pounds but she will slice your nose. Do we walk carefully around Stumpy? Yes we do...;)
