I have a Felony!!

Category: My animals | Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:06 am

Yes, I have a Felony. Got her in December 05.
She is an 85lb American Pit Bull terrier. We decided, since they have such a bad rap, we would name her Felony. She is a beautiful dog both in looks and personality. She loves our chihuahuas. Sheespeciallyy loves the baby ones.She would have been a good mama but she lost that option at 6 mo of age. I raise chihuahuas and love pits but didn't want to raise them because I feel they need a certain type of owner and don't want to be responsible for one getting into the wrong hands. We try to socialize her with everyone who comes to our home, unless they a afraid of her. So far she loves everyone and has never shown any aggression, with the exception of two people who came that were really afraid of her. She did bark at them and frightened them even more. I am not saying she would not bite because in the right circumstance I think any dog might bite. So if people are not comfortable with her she doesn't get to know them. Just don't want to take any chances, for her protection as well as theirs. She is very much a part of our family and we love her too much to put her in a situation that might not be beneficial. She loves company and never forgets anyone. Tonight when I got home one of the chihuahuas had dug into her pen. This has happened before and she has never hurt any of them. I don't want to invite problems so I do not leave anyone with her. She is our house dog but lately has been outside more than in but she always sleeps in the house. She is a very smart, loving dog. When I feed her she will not touch it till she gives me a kiss. This is something she started on her own and does every single time we feed her. She only gets 1 cup of food in morning and nite. (She is on the verge of being very overweight and has never been over fed. She is just like some of us people...everything seems to turn to fat.) But her food is very special to her and she lets us know. As soon as I have the time I will post a picture of "My Felony"

You sound a very sensible person.
I`m not a fan of pit bulls. It`s all down to how the dog is brought up and handled.
Looking forward to a picture

If a person wanted to turn a Labrador into a killer... then they could.

You're definately handling things in exactly the right way for you, other people and Felony. It's a shame that some breeds get such a bad reputation. I look forward to seeing a photograph of her.

Thanks guys. I was a little leary of getting that breed of dog but have but tried to educate myself on the breed before we got her. She was also a gift. I wouldn't take anything for her. My son has her sister and she is totally different in looks and personality but a super good dog too.
