Lead the charge to get more pets into care homes. Too many people are having to give up their pets when they go into a care home. The RSPCA are complaining they are being inundated with unwatned and abandoned pets. I hope to encourage care homes to open their doors and homes to the idea of residents having a pet.

Pit Bulls r what u make them

Hi my name is Diana my brothers name is Tony. The reason we join is Cuz of Kilo. My bro found Kilo as a pup in the worst condition possible full of worms in such a bad condition. He brought him home and he was raised with all our children and the kids around the neighborhood. I guess so greatful with him for saving his life he saw always to protect the children. Never ever biting no human been. Only other dogs that like our neighbors dog he hates. I guess as a pup he was always being attack by him that now he hates him. He could have killed him I feel but never has. He actually in two occasion saved two girls that were going to get bitten by him. We had Kilo en an electrical collar (that we later took off and now have a fance cuz we didn't want him being shock cuz if he saw the kids in danger he would take the shock to save them from being bit) one of the girl was running in the street and Gett the other dog was going to but the girl she ran to our yard feel and when the dog was going to bite her Kilo came out and attacked Gett. An another occasion something similar happen. Now we have to go to court cuz they want to say he's a vicious Dog. He's never been fought he's a family dog he's one of us and is treated with respect and love. He's not a Vicious Animal. We would give him up if we had to, but only to a loving family cuz he's not a fighter. PLEASE HELP US FIND HELP. WE DONT WANT TO SEE HIM GONE OR DEAD.

Word of the Day: pittance

WordUp — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:40:10 GMT

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 21, 2009 is:

pittance • \PIT-unss\ • noun
: a small portion, amount, or allowance; also : a meager wage or remuneration

Example sentence:
The children worked for a pittance at the factory in subhuman conditions.

Did you know?
It's a pity when you haven't anything but a pittance. And in fact, "pity" and "pittance" share etymological roots. The Middle English word "pittance" came from Anglo-French "pitance," meaning "pity" or "piety." Originally, a "pittance" was a gift or bequest to a religious community, or a small charitable gift. Ultimately, the word comes from the Latin "pietas," meaning "piety" or "compassion." Our words "pity" and "piety" come from "pietas" as well.

Awaiting the arrival of my bully

cobrakraiger — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:06:37 GMT

I'll be picking up my new bully the weekend after thanksgiving and could not be more excited. He will be 11 weeks when I pick him up. The gentlemen I bought him from called him a black brindle, which looked like a regular brindle color to me? Anyone know if there is a difference between a black brindle and a regular brindle? Also I didn't see any white on him if it makes a difference.

Pimples on dog's neck

jastrasen — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:33:21 GMT

hi there,

our 1-year old dog (he's adopted so that's approximate) has some little red pimples around his jaw line, around where his "gentle leader" collar touches. when we tried to get a closer look at them by brushing the hair away and squeezing them to make sure they weren't ticks, they swelled up. one now is about the size of a pea and very noticeable. he only has a few. at first i thought they were little cuts from playing with other dogs at the dog park, because they are around/under his ears. but now i think it's more like a rash or something because the one swelled up round and hard like a bug bite or pimple. he's had them for about a week and a half.

I've read the other posts and i don't think it's food allergies because it's just in the one place, but it doesn't look like any of the pictures of ringworm and he's too old for puppy acne, and they aren't ticks. he's itching them.

Any ideas? thanks!

Help with ear posting?

andyxkim213 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:15:01 GMT

Her ears were cropped almost 3 months ago, and we have tried the mole foam posting, but failed. We have recently been taping her ears up with athletic tape and a small foam rod that is inserted halfway into the ear (not all the way in). But her ears still curve in and just wont stay straight. Do you guys have any idea how to fix this problem?:confused:
Another method, tips, or ANYTHING?
I would really appreciate it if y'all could help! THANKS!:)
Here's a picture:
(Her ears are supposed to point back)

So that is what it feels like to get hit by a car...

pitbullmomma28 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:49:52 GMT

No, just joking! LOL! I was outside talking on the phone with a breeder friend, we were heavily discussing breeding and stuff like that, so I was kinda in my own little world. I had the dogs outside with me, because they needed some fresh air, and so I was standing by the door talking. I turn to my left and see Bruno coming at me 35mph (Okay, I'm going overboard, but it felt like it!) in slow motion I try backing away, but he hits me and I go flying four feet in the air (Or so I was told by the witnesses...) I'm not small, I'm 5'6" but my 100 lb dog was sure able to knock me off my feet. The funny part is that he kept on running, it seemed like he didn't even notice me! He must have been in his own little world too. What can I say? He is just like me! LOL!

Some collar patterns I came up with

chewbecca — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:48:50 GMT

I came up with these little pattern designs that I'll be adding to my website here in a minute.
They'll go into my pattern choices and customers can pick whichever pattern they want. They do not have to pick these conchos, these are just decorative designs that are there in case they want to choose it.

What do you guys think?

I love the conchos SOOO much in the last few patterns that if I had time, I'd make one for Ella.

AR: Prescott: No Pit Bulls in Town

Prescott, Ark.: Council:No pit bulls in town

Ordinance passes after toddler�s death

By: Jim Williamson � Texarkana Gazette � Published: 11/20/2009

PRESCOTT, Ark.�The recent death of a 2-year-old boy motivated the Prescott City Council to approve an ordinance banning pit bull dogs from the city, said Mayor Howard Taylor.

The ordinance, approved Monday night, makes Prescott the fifth town in Southwest Arkansas to ban the dogs. Similar ordinances have been approved by Nashville, De Queen, Dierks and Mineral Springs.

The council was going to consider the ordinance banning pit bull dogs in the December meeting, but decided to declare an emergency and approved the ordinance Monday night.

LA: The Pit Bulls of New Orleans 2010 Calendar Now on Sale

The Pit Bulls of New Orleans 2010 Calendar Now on Sale

By Chris Bynum, The Times-Picayune

November 20, 2009, 3:57PM

With the latest calendar from The Sula Foundation, dog-lovers who know the American Pit Bull Terrier as a family dog are reminded daily how responsible ownership protects these dogs.

Grover, the white pit bull with the brown spot over his left eye and ear, was once a street dog who was starving and heartworm positive. Now he helps his owner Erin manage the Fair Grinds coffee shop. Grover is the cover dog for the latest Pit Bulls of New Orleans calendar.

He is joined by such pit bull role models as Annie (January), who was one of over 500 dogs seized last year as part of the largest dog-fighting raid in American history. Winkie (August) came to St. Bernard Animal Shelter with one eye. He was fostered by two volunteers, who soon realized Winkie was already home.

Some of the dogs represented in the calendar came from the streets; others never had the misfortune of being without a loving home.

Proceeds from the sale of the calendar ($18.00, plus $4.95 postage) benefit The Sula Foundation, dedicated to fostering responsible pit bull ownership through low-cost vaccination clinics, free spay/neuter services and educational events. For more information, go to www.sulafoundation.org. The calendar will also be available at select local bookstores.

Need help with Bull Terrier nipping

xchairity_casex — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:47:47 GMT

Hello although i donot have a pit bull i do have a bull terrier and yes iasked nipping quesions in the bull terrier threads butwould like to get a bit more insight into my 13 week old bull terrier pups biting.
first question is is it normal that its taking this long for him to understand not to bite? iv had him since 8 weeks and have been training just as long. also he was very well socialized and still is but when family embers pet him he automatically begins biting but only when hes been around us for a few hours when he first wakes up or when he comes inside from going potty and hes really happy to see us he lets us rub him all over and give his tummy a scratch but otherwise its just nipping all the tme.
