Description This was kind of a quick thing I did, so I apologize for the sort-of crappiness of it. XD But I wanted a pic of Josh and company. :3 I don't know exactly how old Sonya is here, but I'm thinking around 3 years old? I really suck at drawing kids, which is amusing, since I spent two summers almost exclusively drawing children. XD In the actual drawing, her head is smaller, but I had to take a low-res pic of the drawing to do the lineart, and you know how that goes. >_>

From left to right: Gabby, TJ, Sonya, Josh, Belle, and Raider. ^^

Had to get the dogs of course. Radier is Josh's Great Dane/St. Bernard mix, and Belle/Gabby are TJ's pitbulls. I had to include pitbulls, because as I volunteer at the local dog shelter, I have come to really like them. They are a bitch to walk (no one ever teaches them how to walk on a leash, apparently) but they are very sweet and their smiles are so big it's like . . . WHOA. XD They get such a bad rap because of a few mean people.


BTW, that is Josh's natural hair color. He stopped dying it. :3

YOU AND YOUR CUTENESS. TJ looks like the guy you do NOT mess with, and I am so amused by all their dogs. And their little girl like Dora the Explora. XD

I DO LOVE MY CUTENESS, that's for sure. :3

TJ's cool now that he's had the time to mellow out, but he wasn't such a nice guy when he was 18 or so. DX

PFFFT. Maybe if Dora gained twenty pounds. XD

It is sad. All of the Bullies i've met have never done any harm to anyone/anything. Well, except for Petie English. I had a tail marked bruise on my ass from him wagging so hard. haha.

i've still gotta get Maverick. He's still available. Do you have any Presa Canarios there? Just wondering

wandaluvstacos In reply to nixxie89 [2011-04-19 03:59:55 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have never seen Maverick there, and if he was in for kennel cough, he would have been out by now. He's probably in a foster home, if he's even still with the league.

Well, I've been hurt by one of the pitbulls, and have had several tear marks on my clothing from when they play too hard, but never has it been actual aggression, just rough playing (why do I keep insisting on playing with them in the pen? Oh that's right. Cuz no one ever taught them how to walk on a leash. -___-) Luckily I am not easily intimidated by dogs, and I realize that they do have good intentions, despite all the clothes of mine they've ruined.

He's still online. I've been stalking the site. haha.

I've never been hurt by any of them. I absolutely abhor Golden REtievers, Labradors, uhm, shih-tzus, Chihuahuas, etc. haha. I've had more probmems with those breeds than any of the Bullies. Mainly labs and goldens really. I've eeven had problems with two St. Bernards. We had Hercules up on the table, out of no where, he turned Cujo, Crystal got bit, he knocked the table over, almost smashing the other dog that was tied to the table.while trying to stop that, I got my knee cap knocked out of place.
And then on Sunday, i dealt with a Bernese mountain dog. once again, he turned for the worst. I figured it was just the puppy crazies, but no, he progressively got worse as the day went on. he wouldn't even come inside from outside. everytime you leashed him, he'd go after what was containing him, and ultimately you.
I don't like them. haah

Well, in my experience, labs will drop the ball for you to throw. Pits will NOT let go of it for the life of them, so when I tried to snatch a ball out from between one's paws, he went for it and happened to bite my fingers when he tried to pick up the ball, and it drew quite a bit of blood. I didn't tell the shelter people because I didn't want him to get in trouble, since it was not that he was purposely trying hurt me; he was just being protective of his toy. But it is true that the pitbulls decline faster in shelters more than other breeds, because they are so people oriented, and when not given people companions, they start to get more and more destructive. Hence why so many of the "long-timers" (which are ALWAYS pitbulls) turn into "Star Dogs", dogs that need more experienced walkers/trainers.

They are definitely more affectionate/playful than the other breeds, however. The worst dog was a Chihuahua mix. He actually tried to bite, then humped his blanket for two minutes. XD Someone is sexually frustrated . . .

I've had quite the opposite reaction. Sydney is a cute little blonde and white pitty. She has manners of a two year old, though. Everyone was scared of her. But groomers, i swear are the dumbest people in the world. Without even reading the check in card to see if dogs are aggressive and whatnot, we just stick our fingers in and find out for ourselves. Anyway, Sydney, yeah, her. She was the one with the little attitude problem. she would back into the corner and growl and make a fuss. Since i've got like an obsession with pit bulls, I was like "alright, i'll sit with her blah blah"

The kennel people thought i was insane. They would hardly go near her. She bluffed so well that no one would give her attention except to let her outside with her friends and whatnot.

now, Labs, no. We had two "friendly" dogs, a lab and a golden get into a scrap. It was bad. none of the kennel peope would help, so beinthe stupid groomers that Crystal and I are figured how to break up a dog fight. You stick your hand right in the middle of it. We've been doing this forever now and none of us have gotten hurt. Either the dogs don't give a damn or they have a little more than enough sense not to bite human flesh. haha

THOUGH. Goldens and Labs are on the BSL list. . . with the pit bulls, dobes, and rotties. . . and i'd choose them over any.

Yeah, well. Michelle Crise's Rottweiler nearly attacked me, and Mac HATED Fagin. Yet at the shelter, I walked a Rottweiler who was very sweet. In my experience, you really can't say one breed is good while one is bad. You have to consider the type of people who are attracted to certain breeds. Pits get a bad rap because the type of people who are attracted to pits tend to be on the low income scale, so they often don't know how to raise them. Hence you sometimes get mean dogs.

I blame people more than breeds, in the end. :/

nixxie89 In reply to wandaluvstacos [2011-04-21 00:13:01 +0000 UTC]

but EVERY golden and Lab?? i'm a racist, i guess.

people need to be blamed all of the time. It's their fault ultimately because they're breeding for looks not disposition. Blue pits have a bad rap because considering they're gorgeous and a different color. These people breed and breed until these dogs are so overbred and interbred that their attitudes change and they do become dangerous. Some dogs do need to be put down in that case.

RACIST. YOU A RACIST.

You were racist against Corgis, but my Corgi was wonderful when she was groomed. So stop it, hater.

There is actually a sign at the shelter warning people against the rumor that blue pits are "rare" when they really aren't. It's just a diluted gene of black. :/ But yeah, it's the same in every animal. Like horses. Quarter Horses end up getting navicular because they breed these horses so that their feet are so tiny and their bodies so big. Thoroughbreds are crazy cuz no one cares about personality: it's all about speed. The warmblood at Pony Club was a wonderful dressage horse, but she'd fucking bite and kick any horse or person that came near her. I'd much rather have my cheap backyard pony.

I still hate corgis. Sorry. Can't help it.

no, Tri-color pits are rare. Any kind of tri color bully. They're so in demand and they're really hard to find too. Blues, not so much. Everyone has a blue one at least once in their life time. I'm still really partial to blue noses myself, but i know if i got one, i wouldn't trust it very much. I'll stickwith my chocolate blue gamey girl. who you have to meet. so, i'll have to bring you to her. She is special, horribly bred, but bully all the same.
