Today I got a phone call from my mom asking about my opinions on pitbulls. I told her that I thought they were fine dogs and asked why. I guess a few days ago a dog showed up outside of our house so she brought her some food. Since she seemed friendly enough my mom let her hang out in the yard all day. When my dad got home he asked whose pitbull it was. My mom said she just thought it was a regular mutt and didn't realize it was a pittie.
The dog seemed very submissive and my dad strongly believes it was a fighting dog that was dropped off due to her lack of aggressivness. My parents live out in the country so dog fighting is prevelant and dogs often get dumped off in front of our house. She was wearing a harness and had several bite marks on her body. So my dad cleaned her up, gave some flea and tick treatment until they figured out what to do with her.
After my mom put out word that we had a dog one of the neighbors had offered to take her. By this point my dad had already fallen in love with her and was upset that my mom wanted to get rid of HIS dog!
So I guess now she stays, and she's going to the vet this week for shots and to make an appointment for her spay! :D Hopefully my mom will send me a picture soon like she promised. Even though my mom is hesitent about having a pittie I can tell that she really likes this girl. She went on and on about how friendly and playful she is. My mom said she's great with strangers and seems to enjoy spending most of her day sunbathing out on the porch.
