Pit Bull

[elizabethann]

So I was walking Fenway home (after he attacked the kit - in another thread - very sad story), and this woman & her Grandson were shooting hoops at the basketball court by where I live. She hollers something to me and I ask "what was that?" She hollers back "is that a Pit Bull?" I said "excuse me?" She asks again...seriously now...not laughing..."is that a Pit Bull?"

Well as upset as I was about Fenway attacking the kit, I couldn't help but laugh....and laugh really hard. I laughed and said "ummm....noooo."

This woman needs to watch Animal Planet. To ask if I had a Pit Bull is just the funniest thing. Now, he did get groomed yesterday and his hair is a little shorter. But even with a puppy cut, he doesn't look like a Pit Bull.

I think Fenway was flattered and puffed up his chest after hearing that question.

HAHAHAHAHA....Idiot!!!!

A dog of any breed might attack a kit because they are like prey animals..ie..run off. It doesn't have to be a pitbull to do that, lolol!!!!

My BCs are funny with cats because of the way they stare at them and they also lift their tails and walk up with direct eye contact when they are greeting you in a friendly way. Unfortunately, the dogs see that as a direct challenge because it is in their language.
My BCs have also attacked and killed other small animals like rabbits, mice, a weasel, voles etc...Dogs are hunters no matter what breed.

I was at the shelter volunteering today and a young boy was looking at a pit bull and his dad said "come on that one looks like it bites" what an idiot, she is the sweetest dog and gives me tons of sweet pittie kisses, I didn't even argue with him, figure he isn't worth my energy.
