Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Mon Apr 30, '12 4:19pm PST  I'm just curious on sill random odd things that people have mistaken your dog for (e.g. A breed he's not, being the puppy of your other 2 dogs, etc... anything that made you either want to laugh your head off, or want to slap that person in the face & say "YOU IDIOT!!!") I was taking my Shasta for a walk one time, he was wearing his blue paw-print harness, and I had dark sunglasses on. A girl riding her bike next to me said "Can I pet your guide-dog?" I said "What?!" She said "Aren't you a blind person with a guide-dog? I mean you're wearing glasses and the dog has the fancy harness!" So I took off my glasses and loosened Shasta's leash a bit, "Nope, I'm normal... see? I can see just fine" Another time I was down at the playground making him go down the slide, jump over benches, and do his obedience. A couple boys came over, and with their jaws dropped said "WOAH! Is that a real live police-dog?!?" I just chuckled and said "Nope, he's my mutt... I don't think he could ever be a police-dog!" Some stories I've heard of are people who had a couple big dogs [I think it was like a Golden Retriever & a big mutt], and a little terrier, and they've had people stop them and say "Awwww your puppy is so cute! Are those two his parents?" "uh... no... my 'puppy' is about 3 years old and a purebred JRT..." my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto Super cute,- super sweet,- super pit!     Barked: Thu Apr 26, '12 9:37pm PST  @ Kip & Oogie: Speaking of 'mad smart' dogs. My friend would go duckhunting with his black lab all the time. He trained it to retrieve very well of course, but he would belly-crawl in the grass to sneak up on the ducks, and that doggone dog was so smart that it mimicked him & belly-crawled as well, staying RIGHT next to him. He said he didn't have to train the dog to do it.... he'd just mimic his master... incredible dogs are! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Other Barks & Woofs > Share your pup's silly little quirks!!!

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Thu Apr 26, '12 12:01pm PST  Every afternoon. My boys, Shasta, and Otto, know it's dinner time. We keep the food in a big can outside. When Shasta says he's hungry, he runs up & jumps on the bench by the can. Otto stands in the middle of the yard, holding his football, giving me a blank stare when he's hungry. As soon as I open the lid & fill up the cups, they blast off to the back [where Shasta's kennel & Otto's cable (and their food-bowls) are]. BUT! It is an epic battle between them. If Otto gets to the kennel first, he waits at the gate and will wrestle with Shasta [Otto loves it, Shaz hates it]. If Shasta gets there first, he runs inside to safety (For some reason Otto knows he's not allowed to go inside & bug Shaz... I think they have little talks about it...) and Otto backs off. It's a strategy for Shasta though... Otto lopes off to the kennel, and Shasta stays behind.... when Otto's just about there... BAM! Shasta whizzes past him, often jumping clear over him, and flies into the kennel. Anyway, their daily routine is immensely hilarious. It can't be described in words though [even though I tried... did a lousy job at that, hah]. I'm gonna have to try & get a video of it one of these days... I have NEVER seen dogs who have such an odd routine like that. But it just makes me love them both all the more for who they are my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Other Barks & Woofs > Is it just me, or do people frown upon "young" dog owners?

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Thu Apr 26, '12 11:23am PST  I'm only 15 & have 3 dogs right now... [Well, our 10yr old lab is more my dad's dog, but since I'm the dog-freak of the family, I get the duty of buying treats, toys, collars, brushes, and taking care of them (I REALLY wish I could afford food for them.... getting kinda sick of having to feed 'em not-so-great food = ) I don't get dirty looks when I'm taking my boys for a walk... usually people say how well-behaved & handsome the boys are. But one time I took Shasta to a field & let him run around... he got just out of sight and I heard a bunch of barking & yipping... I ran over to see what was going on, this really old couple was holding their little Bichon and giving me THE worst glare imaginable... I mean I don't blame them to an extent... if there was a 45lb dog acting 'savage' to my little 8lb dog I'd probably be pretty ticked off too... but even when I calmed Shasta down and they continued on their walk, but they would still turn around and glare at me...... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > I drew a picture of Jackson!

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Tue Apr 24, '12 9:17am PST  Thanks Jackson! Very awesome! =D my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto Super cute,- super sweet,- super pit!     Barked: Mon Apr 23, '12 10:51pm PST  Ah okay, somebody told me/showed me pics in another forum [can't remember who when or where though, haha]... probably were mixes. It's just so annoying anymore with the whole "Pit bull" thing..... anything with a square head and/or muscular build is called a pit.... ugh. Might as well call any black dog with floppy ears a labrador then!... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

American Pit Bull Terrier > Were you once a 'nonbeliever'? Scared of the breed? Share your story!

Otto Super cute,- super sweet,- super pit!     Barked: Sat Apr 21, '12 8:53pm PST  Awesome! I've seen pictures of merle APBTs before though.... also there's a neighborhood APBT that is SOOOOOO gorgeous! He's brown/tan with a few tiny white chest-marks. The next dog I get I think I really wanna get a rescue APBT/Staffy mix/etc.... I just love being able to know that I helped save a life, you know? Back to brindles: My favorite brindle, although I have only seen it a few times, is the bright tan/orange with a few bold black stripes... Believe it or not, I passed up a very handsome little brindle boy... and chose the pup I liked the color of the least! Haha... Otto was the fondest of me... so I gave up that adorable lil brindle guy just so Otto could have a bond with me. Haha! [same thing happened with Shasta... I wasnt a huge fan of black w/ tan points (at the time, Shasta was mostly black, had very little tan) and I had a choice of Shazzy or a super cute tricolor pup who looked like a giant teddybear crossed with border collie... of course, I chose Shasta because he was the little 'reject' runt and would have died from worms if I hadn't taken him sadly.....] my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto Super cute,- super sweet,- super pit!     Barked: Fri Apr 20, '12 10:47am PST  That one is SO beautiful! The first picture wouldn't show up though All the AmBully pics that I saw were on dogbreedinfo.com So what's like your fave color of dog in general? I'm a big fan of brindles & merles. I also like tan-and-white [idk what it's technical term is.... but like a Border Collie's black n' white, just with tan instead]. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > Does anybody agree with me that this isn't my dog?....

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Fri Apr 20, '12 10:47am PST  Wow pit bull? I can almost see where they come from.... your golden retriever's puppy? Wow that's just..... eesh! That sure bugs me when everyone thinks anything is a pit bull.... ANY dog that has a 'square' head, sleek short fur, or a solid muscular build gets accused of being a 'pit bull' by people around here.... ugh! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto Super cute,- super sweet,- super pit!     Barked: Thu Apr 19, '12 11:56am PST  Yeah, definitely going to agree with all of that. I have known many many herders to not be nippy at all though. Then again, I still really am unsure what my 'perfect' dog will be... I'm a fairly strict owner with my 3 dogs, so I'm pretty sure I could eventually handle a big doggie. Not that I would ever own one, but American Bullys are like REALLY awesome! Have u seen pics of those things? They're like gigantic APBTs! So far, I'll admit, I have only owned the 3 dogs I have now in my lifetime..... and of the dogs I've been around, the Pitties have still touched me the fastest. My favorite build is the really tall lean ones... I met a purebred APBT who looked more like a Dane crossed with Greyhound [still had the Pibble head of course], I have honestly never seen a more beautifully-built, muscular, athletic dog in my life. I've also seen pure APBTs who were very very short and packed with muscle... they're pretty too, but it's hilarious watching them do their athlete-activities like scaling fences and climbing trees... that's how Otto is, he runs about like a football player, he looks so stiff when he runs due to all that muscle on his legs. LOL! Long live pit bulls!!!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
