The Kidz-

I have the honor of being the proud 'parent' of three great dogs.  One of the great things that I do is ensure that my girlz (the rottie and the pit mix) are well trained and socialized.  These guys travel with me no matter where I go. I bring them into stores, let them socialize with people, yet it amazes me how people are scared of the dog just because of what they look like.  My dogs have never done anything (except kill some woodchucks). Yet people (especially insurance companies) discriminate based on the breed.  For my dog friends State Farm is one of the insurance companies that does not care what breed you have.

My dogs all go to obidence training, CGC/TDI will they bite, sure, if you attack me or they are attacked, however they will not just go out and bite someone.  Our Rottie (Zahra) is a special dog.  My wife and I got her after a disasterous experience with a Welch Corgi.  In all fairnes that poor dog had serious issues.  We turned it over to the rescue where we got it from and they had to destroy him because of his issues.  The day after we got rid of the Corgi I found Z, she was in a shelter in Rochester, her picture should how smart she was and I knew right away I wanted her.  She just 'fit', I can not explain it but she is special and she is well loved.

My wife found the little Pit Mix, she was in our local shelter, she was abused, and neglected. She had been locked in an apartment for over three months, she weighed about 15 lbs.  She had been forced to deficate, urinate, sleep in the same area.  I was scared about all kinds of issues but I took a chance, because Karen wanted her.  Well she just fit right in.  Her big sister plays with her, she loves to ride, and there have been no real issues.

Our third kid, MacDuff was Karen's first dog.  He is now 10 years old.  Duffer is a lover, but has his quirks.  He is the one dog that I cannot take out as much.  Duffer does not like people as much.  Now he will ride til the end of time, but he is not one that I can take into the store with people.

These are my kidz, sure they do not grow up and go to college, but they make us proud all the same.  The girls are great ambassadors of the breed.

So that's the story of our kidz, they keep us busy and happy.Majestic Dog Bed Crate Mat - Sherpa - Pet Beds (Google Affiliate Ad)
