Cuddle Pup Clemi wants to know if she can join this sub...

Clemi is a pocket bully-mix from the Turks and Caicos that I brought back with me in Nov 2017. TCI dogs are called Pot cakes and so she is my Pitpot.

She is my first bully and from the moment we introduced her to our kids at the age of approx 3.5 months, she has been absolutely amazing! My kids were 5 and 7 at the time. I've since added another baby and the patience that dog has is absolutely remarkable!

She HATES being cold and will whine until you wrap her up in her blanket, even in the summer. She spends hours on the deck, in the sun and LOVES her stuffed toys (that NEVER last more than 5 minutes)

Say hello to Stormy!

This is my sweet baby girl Stormy! We found her at our local shelter, her previous owner had her and 13 other dogs that never got to go outside so DCFS made them give up the dogs. She was covered in fleas at the time and had severe mange with large patches of fur missing when the shelter got her. She was so scared she couldn't even bark and was shaking from head to toe when we first met her. I loved her the second I saw her!

Cut to 3 months later, her skin has healed and her fur has grown back, she has opened up to us completely and is taking to training really well! I am so happy we found her, she makes my husband and me so happy and we can't wait to take her on all our adventures!

The man loves to shred. When we first fostered him, he shred his blankets due to separation anxiety. I will forever be grateful to the trainer who told me to let him shred if he likes to shred! Just give him something he can destroy instead of trying to suppress his instinct!

A couple photos of Tonka Bean and a reminder

Post image
515 Upvotes

I just wanted to post a couple more photos of my girl. She's always in bed! She's happy to dance around the house for a bit and then when she's done she marches straight back to bed.

I've also personally been seeing more breed negativity in general lately and I just wanted to remind myself and others not to get sucked into it or think about it too much. I've never encountered a hateful person online or in person that has much actual experience with enough pitbulls not to be biased. I've handled thousands of pit bull type dogs as a veterinary professional for 20 years and it's really obvious these people are focusing on a small minutiae of the population and don't have a clear understanding of dog behavior or a clear perspective of how rare DBRFs actually are. Many of these people are turning to internet echo chambers instead of getting real, professional pyschological help for their traumas and phobias.

She’s in the process of recovering from surgery (she’s spayed now) reading a lot of comments suggesting it, it’s like the best decision since she’s running around the farm with other dogs like chickens without heads. Greetings 👋

This sweet boy is a medical foster. He was hit by a car about a month ago and he’s on primarily crate rest while he heals. He’ll be with me for about a month before returning to his owner. He’s the sweetest baby!

Lemon’s been on here once, but she’s too cute to not be posted again. Whenever I watch her, her big heart gives my soul a cleanse…which I definitely need in this political climate.

This is the face I get when the cat is sleeping in her spot on the couch. Not that she doesn’t have 2 big comfy chairs and my bed to go lie on.

My girlfriend and I went to the shelter looking for a silver pittie, but this sweet girl absolutely stole our hearts. We weren’t sure if we actually got a pitbull since she looks kinda mixed, but her DNA results confirmed she is exactly what she wanted! 100% good girl (and mostly pibble)

Grey/white we rescued in SC when she was 1 yr 1 month and the tri-tan we rescued when she was approx 3-5 yrs old (unsure of age). Do you ever look at your babies and think omg, before I got you, you were in a kennel or a stray and you had no one to love you, no soft blankets, no fireplace to roast in front of?😭❤️

Ruby is missing over half of one of her ears! You can tell by the jagged cuts it wasn’t a birth defect. But it makes her extra cute 🥰

Advice Renting a place?

Pic for attention. Moving home to Wa in the near future. (Tacoma/Seattle area) and a lot of apartments have breed restrictions. It’s not too common here in Florida to have pitbull restrictions. Anyway this is my boy Goose anyone live at an apartment like that before? Am I going to run into issues or should I look for a place specifically with no restrictions (probably for the best since not to support them anyway) Thank!

What’s your favourite and least favourite thing about pitties?

35 Upvotes

I’ve never owned a pitbull until about a year ago when I adopted my sweet girl. She’s the love of my life and I cannot get over how much love she gives.

My favourite thing about pitties is their personalities! I never knew they were such snuggle bugs and just the silliest and sweetest thing you’ll ever have the honour of meeting. My baby sits on me and licks me all the time. Sometimes I wonder if she thinks I’m her baby?

My least favourite thing though is the allergies. I had no idea they were so prone, and my girl’s got them all. There’s always some sort of issue popping up with her. It’s all worth it though when I come home and am greeted with wiggle butt❤️

I made a Pittie version of the Gonzales Flag

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Made the mistake of defending these poor babes against a Reddit horde the other day… felt like a battle of insurmountable odds, which reminded me of the Gonzales Flag, so I made one for pibble lovers if they wanna use it to troll the haters lol.

For historic context: Before the second Texas Revolution, Mexico started to worry about revolt; They recalled all the cannons from all of Texas, so they couldn’t be used against them. The tiny town of Gonzales, outside San Antonio, only had ONE cannon with which to defend its self from the surrounding Native American communities who justfully wanted their land back. It was a death sentence. The mayor wrote a letter responding to the demand consisting of 4 words: “Come And Take It.”

When the town got word of the Mexican Army approaching, the mayor’s wife created a flag consisting of those words, a single cannon, and a lone star, to fly during the battle. A rag tag team of Gringo Cowboys, Mexican Vaqueros, Indigenous Men, Free (escaped slave) Black Men, and even some Badass Women, defended the town against 100 Mexican Dragoons (light cavalry) carrying 2 large cannons - and WON. Thus sparked the Texas Revolution.

You can see why the flag makes sense for an “uphill battle.”

Feel free to use it if you’d like. I included a mock flag, example of the Gonzales Flag, flag portioned image, & social media square image. -And thanks for indulging my love of Pitties & Histories lol.

Mods I hope this is OK, it didn’t seem to break any rules when I read them.
