Arrival Story:
My husband wanted a dog in the worst way so off to the pound (after three years of talking about it) All the dogs were barking and the noise too much! I went outside to see the back of the cages and there was Roxie sleeping in the sun on her back - got to love that she is a sun worshipper! She came with a whole list of problems which included mange, a bad back leg, a nip in the ear from a cage mate yet in spite of all her physical ailments, she still had the capacity to love humans! (even after her first owner abused her, and tied her in a garage). When she finally escaped and went on the lam until she was starving and picked up by animal control said previous owner gave up the rights to a remarkable dog. We are so lucky to have her in our family - even if she sleeps sideways in our bed!

Bio:
Roxie has been "home" for a year now and she has blossomed into the most beautiful, sweet and affectionate dog. Her leg has almost completly recovered, she no longer fears belts , brooms or sticks, but we still have not been able to get her near a garage. Everybody in the neighborhood knows Roxie and she is charming even the most stoic critic of pit/staffie terriers. Her fan club grows with every new person she meets!

Pittietopia


April 2nd 2008 1:59 pm   [link to this entry]

jonesey found our first childrens bowling ball it has a giant crack in it but I have turned our big yard into a HUGE pinball game just for me!

I think we should name the backyard PITTIE TOPIA but we would need visitors for that! I dont even care about morning walks anymore.. Jonesey just hits tennis balls to me instead. when she gets tired out comes the bowling ball. For a doggie with a bad leg, I am playing from 7-12 in the morning before I pass out for my afternoon nap.. I love this place.

We went to the doggie park cause they thought I need to see some other doggies. Too bad a young black lab wanted to keep biting me.. eventually I bit back and then AND ONLY THEN does the owner pay any attention even though Jonesey had separated me from the dog and we were just getting some water when the thing just bit me on the back for the tenth time. Naturally its all my fault cause I am a pit bull NOT. I think dog parks are great but I am glad I have my own exercise place that I can really enjoy without worrying about ill mannered playmates.

Jonesey went to the shelter this week 26 pitties four shepards and some yappers It breaks her heart so she petted all of them and I got to sniffie when she came back.

She tried to give away my first bed which I am too fat for now but NO WAY is that thing leaving the back yard. I sat in it and refused to budge. Guess thats why I am headed back to obedience class at a new place this month. Now we are going to class outside in a park! Hope the squirrels hide!

Your barkin pal..

Roxie

hey Little doggies!

Jonesey has been working like a dog at that darn school thing and then she got really sick and ended up in the hospital (where I could not visit) Now I try to spend every minute parked on one part of her so she wont disappear. Its funny I have been home for a year now and I love being here! Everyday I wag my tail a little more and I have stopped chewing things when I am home alone.. well ok I did give a kleenex box a little nibble but for the most part its pretty good. Our landlord does not think we need heat which is how Jonesey got so sick. I am so lucky she got me this great coat at Centinela feed this summer and I look like a lion in it! One of the guys in my neighborhood said Pitbulls dont need coats - what does he know??? We saw those doggies from evil Vick's in that sanctuary and they looked really cold... maybe We might have to send them a few coats if nothing else just to cover those horrrible scars. Everyday I am lucky to have a home... Dont let BSL take my breed away from people like Jonesey who love ME as much as I love HER!
