Poor guy, all he was trying to do was save the dog and now look what happened, he's in trouble. Hopefully all will work out in the end, I also think it would be kinda cool to see him be the one to adopt "cyrus".

I know I am going to try REALLY hard to talk to themabout giving them up, their still young enough that if they got placed soon they would probably be just fine with a new family.Like I said I absolutely love these 2, if it wasn't for everything right now I could at least foster them for awhile. My biggest fear is that the Mrs. will go and give them to animal control and with them being pits they will either be PTS or end up in the hands of the wrong type of people.I will be persistant, my husband told me if I didn't back off they weren't gonna like me anymore-I told him I never liked them in the first place so I could care less.

I am sorry in advance for this.

My husband has these friends who have 2 pits.1 boy(zuesy) and 1 girl(princess pippi)well these people are kinda nasty and they moved into this nice new trailer park that they cannot afford and they let the dogs pee and poop everywhere. Well the mrs got tired of cleaning it up and she found a crate and now they throw the dogs inthe crate constantly.She even jokes about the fact that they live in their crate they never come out.I told her that was no life for a dog more or less 2 of them in the same crate they are still puppies and gorgeous but they are so neglected.They never have baths, their nails are so long they curl under, they are living on $10 for 45lb type o dog food.They constantly get yelled at and stuff thrown at them, but on the appearence side of things they look normal, so calling animal control will do me no good. After I expressed my feelings about this to her she said unless I wanted them then she didn't care what I thought.

I dunno how to handle this, i mean i would love to take em , but with the pregnancy and the adoption going thru here soon i can't do puppies right now, any suggestions?

His bro just got 2 new pits and they are really sweet but this is the same guy who calls me EVERY week begging for money to feed his kid cause he's sooo broke.What makes him think that he can afford 2 more dogs?? AAHHHHH ! I am gonna go off on somebody real soon. Anyone know of anyone looking for pits?, maybe i can talk em into getting rid of em.

I have to agree, I would think that if you are taking a somewhat non sociable dog to a dog park (that the reason most people take their dogs to is to be around other dogs)and if you reinforce bad behavior by holding your little one i would think it is showing your dog that what it is doing is okay.I would try a diffrent approach somehow, and if thats not possible maybe a doggie park isn't the best place for your pooch.

I am so sorry for you, I know it must break your heart.Your in my thoughts.

How cute... I think the hat would be a good addition.lol.
