Vicious pit bull attacked this morning

In reply to Joe Gearin:

I know people who could fix that, possibly so well that you'd never know. Not sure it's worth it depending how cheap it was though, repairs would probably be in the $300-range, just guessing.

Our pit constantly attacks my whole family. And by "attack" I mean wants to lay on you and cuddle. She did chew up the corner of my TV remote though, so she has her faults. The sweetest animal I have ever owned. She single handedly destroyed my stereotypes of pitbulls.

Our pit Cuddles thinks he is a lap dog. He was also shot in the head by a Clayton County GA cop (one of their favorite hobbies from what I've heard) before coming to live with us. Silly cops and their lightweight JHP 9mm rounds. No match for a head with more skull than brains.

While I would never want to find out, I think my pit's skull could stop a 105mm tank round.

Thanks--- I looked into repairing it, but when you can find a replacement on Craigslist for $350 or so (what I paid used), there isn't really a point of fixing it. The DX-1 is a spruce top with composite neck, back and sides to keep cost down. They really sound fantastic despite the cost cutting. May have to get another.....or a solid-wood Martin. I just loved the sound!

I had one other before Chewie that did that for me. Even after being dumped on the street after living the life in a fighting environment (either as bait or puppy machine, or both), she was a good dog. I had never known a pit other than what Fox News told me...

I take this guy to the park and events every chance I get to show how "mean and vicious" they really are. (He doesn't even bark, at other dogs or people. Only when he needs to potty and I ignore him.)

Y'all gotta let your dogs FRAP all over the place.

I like that there's now a scientific term for what I call "The Derpathon".

This is my dog Holly.

We think she is a Pit/Boxer mix, and she's a master Frapper.

76 miles each way, Im usually at work a little early, about 5ish.

FRAP, good name. M-I-L's lab needs some FRAP time.

My Staff loved to ride on the back of the scooter, He would let me know when he wanted to go for a ride.

My old girl loved the skateboard

The tweedles (two cats, sometimes named tweedle dee and tweedle dum) have figured out that I too, am the keeper of food. This can't be good for me.

My dogs are sulking in bed because its raining.

The water Dragon is laying on her rock awaiting the Sun, her lamp timer should kick in in a few minutes.

The rabbits from a few doors up are visiting again, they seem to have adopted our front yard as a second home after the neighbours gave up trying to keep them caged.

Sorry about Bernie.

She tip-toed slowly but when I realized she was heading into the bathroom I cleared my throat. Cue wild scritching as she bolted out the bedroom door back to her bed. What is it with this dog and the bathroom trash? Are used Q-tips and toilet roll tubes like doggy treasure?

Judging by our dog (85lb boxer/pit mix who is the biggest baby you've ever seen), yes they are doggy treasure. SWMBO uses toilet paper instead of Kleenex so there is usually a roll of toilet paper out on one of the side tables in our living room where she can easily reach it. Quite frequently we'll come back home and find it partially shredded on the floor.

The only thing he likes better than that is socks. He will steal a sock out of the laundry basket or anyplace else he can find one and parade around the house proudly with it in his mouth. In his much younger days he would occasionally actually swallow said socks, but these days he just carries them around and then lays his head down on it when he lies down.

In reply to Ashyukun:

Just last week Chewie decided to attack a random sock. But then again he has a few "babies" that he likes to carry around, mostly deflated stuffed animals.

Thank you Margie, we still have Stella.

May be fruitless improving the quality of the guitar. I have a feeling that wasn't the point of your dog's statement.

Daisy the not pibble, says hi! She may not be a pittie, but she still gets reactions as if she were. Wish she was one , she'd have less of the shar-pei genetic issues that plague her.

Marley is the same way with his stuffed animals.

For years SWMBO had tried finding toys that he wouldn't absolutely annihilate in minutes. We once bought one of the 'indestructible' toys with the highest rating they made- there are literally 5 minutes between the photo of us giving it to him and the one with it ripped into 3 pieces.

A year or so ago though, we were going through a tote of crap that her mother had sent back with us that had been SWMBO's and her mom had been storing for her from a ways back that included a lot of Christmas stuff. While going through it, we found this garish Christmas stocking that had a stuffed reindeer on top of it that Marley was VERY interested in and whined incessantly at. Since we were otherwise going to throw it away, we figured we may as well let him have fun with it so gave it to him.

He carried that thing around for MONTHS. It did eventually take some damage- he would gnaw on it a bit, but never with anywhere near the enthusiasm that he did any actual dog toy we gave him. The same has been the case for a weird stuffed frog back pillow that he fell in love with when someone donated it to SWMBO's non-profit's fundraiser garage sale and we gave to him after it didn't sell and a stuffed T-Rex we found at Marshall's.

We eventually figured out what the likely difference was: EVERY dog toy we've ever found has had a squeaker in it- and he is apparently obsessed with getting to and killing the squeakers in the toys. The plain, far more fragile stuffed animals did not have squeakers, so he just carries them around and uses them as pillows. The frog is about dead though- it's just falling apart at the seams and leaks stuffing when he carries it around.

My parents have a pitbull mix and it is an awesome dog. A little hyper and chews everything under the sun but solid nonetheless.

Not necessarily... What color was the slipper...? Only ONE color of slippers' lives matter, you know. Got to keep slipper lives PC...

I regularly get "mauled" by my next door neighbor's 3 month old pit puppy! She's a cutie and just a ball of energy right now. We have decided that she's "bowling for humans" when she greets me because she takes off full tilt and when she gets about 3 feet from me she just leaps. As she is getting larger I realize she will probably be knocking me over once she's full grown. She is actually very well trained and listens/obeys, but because I don't care about her "charging" me neither her owner or I say anything to stop her when it happens with me.

It's got sharp, pointy teeth that go like this!
