I agree 100%++++!

Also spend time doing re-education of the public in regards to Pit Bulls and it is actually one of the best parts of working in rescue. When you get to see that break through moment when someone who has been afraid of Pit Bulls their whole life and then they meet one = pure magic

The area I live in and I walk my dog every day (3-7km/day) we have what I call The Penny the Pit Bull Fan Club. I have little old ladies in their 80s+ who go buy treats to give Penny when we walk by. Somedays I think I spend more time talking to people than I do actually exercising my dog. It's actually really awesome because you really get to meet some great people regardless of what others believe .

In case you all were wondering about the new pup - Stella.... She's very tense... under a lot of pressure...

Yer a very colorful man.

:peepwall:



Good dawg, good dawgie. :hello:

I agree :trophy-1302:

It's a dogs life :thumbsup:

You guys diggin' that leopard sofa?? And the wild pillows?? LOL --- it's funny -- I have to admit I kinda like it "HERE" -- which is not Seattle.... but it's very "Sun Valleyish".


Pardon the mess -- this was taken the first day of "moving in". We bought it fully furnished all we had to do was bring clothes!

Mastering the steps was a real challenge... I refused to help.... yelping and yippin' and baby barking --- and FINALLY she moved the back legs. After a couple times now she runs up them. LOL

That place looks like the perfect dog house, Stella has all kinds of comfy lounging options in that room. :thumbsup:

Dawg- 'I don't do steps...not sure this new guy is gonna work out!'

:rules:

No pets here yet... but we're lookin for a family pup (just started). just filled out an app for the local puppy rescue place. Lookin for a Boxer or Boxer mix. :)

Good choice of breeds Albert. :thumbsup:

Love it when people start looking at rescues for a dog. There are so many best friends just waiting to go home with someone :thumbsup:

She's cute... That is going to be one spoiled ass dog. I don't have much room to talk, I have 9 year old female that thinks she owns the joint.

Thinks she owns the joint? Fess up. :D

Shelby(not after a Ford) Mine just plays Lassie twice a day. The difference being, she's leading me to her food dish. She seems to have a problem with the walking farts. Especially when you are following her. I tried to coerce her to move out by letting her out the front door but she just sits there patienty waiting for me to let her back in. She's no dummy. Now, if we leave her in the back yard on a 70 degree day with grass, a pool, and dogs in the neighborhood to bark at, when we get home, it sounds like their is a massacre in the back yard. That would be her whimpering and screeching from the punishment of being outside all day. She gets a treat pretty much every night from the other half. She will walk into the shower all by herself but she will make you feel guilty about it. We had a party and there was a meat and cracker tray on the coffee table. She decided to join in on the festivities and help herself. When I was a drunk, she would butter me up by sitting there an giving me that look, she almost always ended up with something I was eating.

She's been a great dog. Little to smelly and needy, but you can't have it all. :D

Nice looking doggers. :thumbsup:

Our first lab (19 years ago) when left in the backyard while we went to work or elsewhere was a basket case when we came home. We started kenneling him, then just gave him run of the house and no anxiety problems. I'm convinced that when left outside he wasn't sure if we were coming back.

A kennel for 8 hours isn't an issue since they really don't have a sense of time other than sunrise and sunset and they are den animals by nature. The key with kenneling is never punish them by kenneling, that's their safe house.

Great topic. We have 4 Jack Russels (2 are rescues), 1 Aussie, 2 horses, 9 checkens and 4 guinea hens. Keeps us busy but they maintain my perspective.

Good looking Hounds
 

Here is a pic of our Boston Terrier

My Golden Meadow. She is 7 now. Has an awesome personality. One of the funniest things to do to her is ask her if she wants a bath - she'll run to her bed and lay down every time.

Isn't that the truth!

That's quite a critter collection you have. :thumbsup:

That pup matches your interior decor well! My Grandmother had a Boston Terrier when I was a rug rat, yet another great breed. What's her name?

What an awesome picture, one for the history books..........only a dog can give you that loyal and caring look. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see how GW handles this every morning commencing at about 1/2 hour before daybreak.......



Dawgs have their rules :rules:

Not mine...but it is Thursday. ;)

It could be the crackers.... :D


When I was in high school we used to feed a buddies dog Cheese -- because when Rusty's Dad came home the dog always laid right by his chair -- pretty soon we'd here "G D it!".... and we'd start howling.

These threads are always fun. I have three mongoloid dogs in my household. One very vocal and slightly neurotic pitbull named Kody(adopted 3 years ago at age 4)

A 4 year old shep/husky mix Rainier who is nearly the perfect dog, mellow, obedient, and relaxed

And Bailey a 12 year young lab mix who somehow still has more enthusiasm than both of the other two put together.

His name is Menard, only 20 months old and full of additude, he thinks he a big dog, here is another one after a run in with a Husky

Like the name! A good friend just showed me a pic of the Boston Terrier puppy they got tonight. Ka-Ute! :)

This is my 12 month old lab collie cross, and my girlfriends 3 year old Husky.
