Shadow's Collar

... Says it all. She's sporting what we are all about. There's always a need for Pit Bulls to get a little more love :)
....Plus she looks cute and I can't stop taking pictures!
I got this collar at a local Pet Store. It seems to be "green," as it is made from a seatbelt. I don't know the brand of it, as I threw away the tag and don't remember! I can say that I'm happy with it though- it is sturdy and there haven't been any problems with it! And for a collar this big, it was well price at $21.99.

Hope you are all having a great sunny Sunday, ~The Pooches (&Anna&Chad)

Shadow is Hillaarriioousss

Dogs never cease to cheer me up.
Shadow and her bestest cousin ever, Kado, were playing once again. They are quite hyper as they are both just over 1 yr old, so they use a lottt of energy. Usually Shadow is the dog who wiggles so hard she falls over just by someone saying hi to her. It makes me tired just watching them sometimes. Well, apparently, all the playing makes Shadow tired too. This was her after one long play session...



I didn't even get a tail-wag!

Easter Bunny Imposter

There was something funny about the Easter bunny this year. He cased the area...

He spied on Spuds

Meet Mr. Bunny:

He has a striking resemblance to Spuds

I couldn't figure it out. Why does the bunny look so much like a dog?

And like sticks, too?



Well, all this really freaked Kado out.

Where's that freaky bunny...

Have you seen him?

Ah ha! Here he is!

You will NOT impersonate Spuds. He's MY hero!



With Kado taking care of his dirty work, Spuds found some time to really enjoy the holiday.

Private Investigator - Spuds Mackenzie

The name's Spuds. Spuds Mackenzie. I'm on the hunt for a big, ragged, mean, strong- STICK!

I know he's around here somewhere. I can sense it.

I thought I smelled him..If I could just reach a littlllee farther

Is this him?

Derrr, nope. Just a relative.

But I think I just caught a wif oh him...FREEZE!

Don't you move, Stick. You're being taken into doggy custody for breaking your family's limb

Look Uncle Mike- I got him!

Thank you doG for giving me stickz. I guess I could play with him for just a sec...

Whooaa! He's heavier than I thought!

Woohooo! (This is not good...my tough exterior has been broken... and I'm completely top heavy!)

Ah crap, I've been caught. Does this count as harboring a fugitive?

Don't judge me. Stick and me are friends. Best friends.



I will whap you with him if you come any closer! I dare ya, go ahead and try

After all, what could be better than a stick?



P.S.- Pray for better lighting in Ohio so I don't have to have any more greyish looking backgrounds... :)

Entropion

What?

Chad and I took Shadow to the vet yesterday because her left eye always gets gooky and has a lot of tears. We thought maybe she had a scratch on the inside of her eyelid or something...

The vet said she has ENTROPION. Doesn't that sound scary? It's not really that scary...

It just means the dog's bottom eyelid curls inward, which can cause all sorts of different problems and be uncomfortable. Luckily Shadow's is a very mild case, so we're trying medicated eye drops in hopes that it won't get worse (because surgery would be next!!)

Other than that, the visit went really well. Shadow befriended a lady in her late 60's (i.e.-sat up next to her demanding head scritchins the whole time we were in the waiting area). She happily greeted every dog who entered the place (i.e.- whining at the top of her lungs and wagging her butt so hard I thought it was going to fall off).

I was able to snap a few pics with my cell phone, and by the looks of them you would never guess she had such a good time...

Heyyy, I thought we were here to make friends. There's no friends in that thing!

Put the light in my eye one more time and I'm gonna eat it lady.

I have no idea why she looks like a deranged monkey here. This is how the humans saw it...

By the look on her face you'd think this is the way she saw the situation...

Guys...I-I--I think there's something behind meee.....*Shiver*

(Don't let her fool you, she enjoyed her lovins more than a crack head with a fix, heehee)

New Camera Part 2

Here are some of the other photos I took the first day I had my new camera. Still messing with settings, of course. This is the Kado and Shadow series...

While taking these I realized my camera is definitely limited in zoom capability. The pics started off kind of far away.

I was sure they were coming to me so I could get some close-ups:

They must have seen the camera because they quickly decided to "juke" me, suspicious looks and all.

K: That was a close one! What the H*ll is that thing in front of her face?

S: I don't know, beats me. Hahaa, yea we got her!

VVVRROOOOMMM!

Wait up Kado!

*Evil tone* I WILL get you Kado, you wait...

AHHH! Bat dog attacks!

S:I will get you where it hurts!
K: Heyyy get out of there!

. . .

I said GETOUTOFTHERE!



Alright alright already...

S: Hey...wha-what are you doin'!?

Whoa! No sniffing zone!




What's wrong with your face Kado? Are you part Shepard part long-tongue-syndrome now?

Women make boys do funny things, eh?





WWE Smackdown: Shadow style



I will fake bite you- No! I will fake bite you!




Kado always keeps one ear out for Shadow...



At the end of the photo session they were pooped (notice Kado's tongue)

*SIGH*

Here are a couple of the other photos I really liked from the day:





Why are these dogs so happy? Because they have great people who care about them, regardless of their breed! Unfortunately, not everyone is educated about how great Pit bulls are.

Justin Timberlake was recently on Oprah and talked about the Pit bull he and Jessica Biel have. Oprah and her co-host made remarks like "Aren't you scared?" and "Don't they just snap?"

If you are a responsible dog owner, regardless of breed, please write Oprah a nice professional letter about how dog owners need to be responsible. Irresponsible, neglecting, and abusive owners are the reason for dog incidents, not breeds themselves!
