Dr. Evil Loc: In Your Face

After putting down my dog last Xmas, I considered a Pit but my insurance man said with the stigma attached to them, not a good idea. I know they are great dogs and don't deserve the reputation they have.

The stigma should be attached to their owners. We had one who was hit by a car after the electric company person failed to properly latch the gate, and she got out.
Now we have a pup that is 1/2 pit 1/2 American bulldog.
I can't even get him to go out, and bark at stuff when the other two do. I kick him out the door, and tell him "Go out, and bark with them!" "Come on man! Go out, and be a dog!" He just gives me that look that says "Nah, I'm good. Lemme get in your lap."

I am sure that the dogs have been a lot of comfort to you right now when you really need a hug and a wagging tail. I know that when my brother died our dogs were very important in providing understanding and love when it was needed. My brother died as a long term result of the lifestyle he chose as a way of getting past abuse, molestation and rejection from our father. His drug and alcohol abuse plus joining the "gay" behavior lifestyle killed him, and no one would have been able to change any of his behaviors unless he HAD WANTED to change. What ever was behind your sons choice of drinking to solve problems, what ever you tried to do to help him, and I am sure it was a lot, could not reach past his unwillingness to accept help. My prayers are for you and your healing. The "if only" part must be rejected for the healing to begin. Gods love be with you.

Remember, he is going to be a big dog, time to teach him to stay on the floor. Sitting on the floor next to you while you scratch him behind the ears should work well for both of you.

I Agree About The Dogs And Your Brother As Well... Thanks For The Kind Words And Thoughts, Nice To Know I Have Friends I've Never Actually Meet... Don D.

LOL! We are doing that! Four on the floor is the rule around here. We fought, and won the furniture battle, and he only jumps up on us when he's really excited, but he tries not to because he knows. Sometimes he just can't help himself. He's coming along nicely, we think. One day this week I'll run him by the vet so they can weigh him, and get his heartworm medicine. He'll be happy about that. He loves to go places, and see people, and other dogs. Besides, the gals at the vet love him to death!
Mean ole pitbull......

Referring to dogs, my Borzoi was mad about my dad His back door led onto a large lawn and then the street. When his French Poodle barked at passersby, Azuka noticed that Dad complimented him. I could see the light bulb over her head. Next time, when Jacques barked, Azuka did the same. When Dad complimented her, I could see her thinking, "Oh, is that all I have to do?"
