When I was growing up we had a Dobbie and a Golden Retriever. My older brother moved out and had Beagles ( I hope I'm spelling these right.) I gave my dad one. When me and Ro decided the time was right for a dog I wanted another Dobbie or a large breed dog. Ro grew up with Noreign Elk Hound, Rottie and I beleive a Mutt. Ro was always very found of Bear the Rottie. So I compared the pros and cons of Dobbies and Rotties, I still wanted the Dobbie but somehow Ro has X convinced with getting the Rottie. I didn't want to dissapoint them so Rottie it was!

Great pictures!

Xavier's past bite was from an accidental "headbuttt" from when he was playing with Asim our male. That was a total accident. Patti is the female that I am in need of rehoming. She is in no way human aggressive. She is dog aggressive. Her and Free fought in the past to settle the issue of dominance. I tried everything to prevent the fighting. It seems that with every fight the girls got stronger and stronger. Xavier was trying to break up the fight even though I told him on numerous occasions not to interfer. Unfortunaly X grabbed the girls collars/choke chains and the bites occured. HUMAN aggression was not an issue here. Everyone knows to never try to break up a dog fight for something like this will happen. It is not an accepted trait if a Rottie shows any signs of human aggression. Seeing that I am expecting another child in less that 8 weeks I can not afford to place my children's safety on the line. Xavier is 10 and I thought I taught him well and, that he would know better to leave the girls alone but what goes through a 10 year old mind is beyond me. So if my 10yr old got bitten during a fight what will happen to my baby if he is crawling or in a walker if the girls decide to fight? I got Patti through a private citizen. I was reading some website and I read " Female Rottie- 3 years old looking for new home. Husband sick can't take care of her. Will put her down if not placed in new home." I felt so bad for her that I called the number and picked her up. The woman swore that Patti was great with other dogs.NOT!!! 2 years later I have to find her a 3rd home. I hate it! I hate knowing that this is the 3rd home for her. I can't even look at her. I get so upset!!!!!!

:new-bday: :BIG: :bday: :drinking: :laola:

A while back I spoke of how my girls were fighting. Many of you gave me great advice and I tried it. Unfortunatly it hasn't worked. In the past they have drawn blood on one another. Ro always said that is wasn't going to work and as much as I hate to admit it he is right. :( Yesterday the fight was so bad. Xavier for some reason thought he was going to be the hero and break up the fight. BAD idea. I have no idea what he was thinking. Well we probally know what happend when he tried. The girls got so angry that they both bit him on each arm (As most of you know he just received stiches from a few weeks ago when he was playing with Asim.) My poor son!!! As much as I love my dogs my son's health will come first! Please unless you are in my shoes do not bash me. I came here for support not to be bashed. I have to find a good home for Patti. The reason I have picked Patti is because she is the most aggressive. She always growls when the other two walk by her. She does not want anyone to pet the others. She growls at us when we pet the others. I feel that she would be most happiest as the only dog. This is probally the hardest decision that I have to make but the fighting just doesn't seem to ease up. Thank you for listening to me!

:o I would be scared to walk around the house alone.

RIP

:o I have to remember to tell Xavier about this! He loves those shows!!

:cry: Bad News- I brought the kitty to the shelter yesterday, HE ( I thought it was a girl)was infested with flees and dehydrated. Good news - The workers said that it will not take long for HIM to be adopted out since he is young and they would place him in a foster home until then. He is only 6 weeks old.

That's a great poem!

Voted!

Awwwwww

:cry: :cry: Oh no! I am so so sorry to hear about Apollo! What terrible news! Give him lots of hugs and kisses :buzi: ! You are in my thoughts!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

:oops: Oh Sorry about that. I'll have to see if I have any film. I think I do. So it will be a week or so OK. She is the cutest thing... White paws, bright blue eyes, white chest, gray and brown markings. X convinced my mother to try to talk me out of bringing "Pumkin" to the shelter but I really can't keep it. :cry: I am afraid for her safety when the dogs are around. If I was 100% sure the dogs were ok with kitties then I would but I am unsure. We have no cat rescues, just the city shelter. They are a no kill shelter, thank DOG! My mother says that the kitty is very calm for her age. Poor thing she must miss her mom. I know that she'll find a forever home because she is soooo cute.

[quote name='K']Thats one h*** of a pussy you got there Sarahstaff :wink: great pix![/quote] :o That cat is as big as the dog.

Yesterday I caught a very itty bitty kitty cat. :kociak: Unfortunately Ro doesn't want me to keep it. X already named it Pumkin. I know that there would be no way I could possibly keep the kitty. It is currently in Free's crate waiting for me to come home so I can take it down to the shelter. I introduced the dogs to it and they didn't act weird. Free just stared and snifted, Asim hopped(sp) around like a bunny and Patti whined. Oh well, I just hope the itty bitty kitty cat will find a forever home.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a little late but HAPPY B-DAY JETTA :drinking: :drinking:

:niedowiarek:

:scared: :eek3: :errrr: :eek: :nerwy: :eek2: I hate snakes..... How did that make it inside your home?

Free likes to take naps under the end table nad coffee table in the living room. Asim takes naps in front of the front door. Patti will sleep just about anywhere.

:shake:

:o

Asim has a black dot on his tongue. The vet said it was nothing to worry about.
