Happy Memorial Day!

To all the Brave Men and Women fighting on our behalf.... THANK YOU!

May God bless you always, and may you come home Soon.

PICTURE FRIDAY: PLAYING BALL

I got Biggs a nice, bright, colorful supersized tennis ball.  Nothing small or regular size for Biggs as I fear he might swallow it. 

Well, he had  --pun intended! -- a ball.   Here are the before and after pictures, because you know he ate it, right?!   Have a good weekend.  And remember to thank a soldier for your freedom.  Happy Memorial Day!

AFTER



HOME SWEET HOME

There is nothing like coming home and being welcomed by loud greetings of love.  Okay, loud barks of love.  I missed Biggs and Luna and Oreo while I was gone.  MadLove took good care of them, but still....

Now, I'm home and we can get back to our routine; Back to being ourselves.  Glad to be home, babies!
 

PICTURE FRIDAY: BIGGS & BALL

Biggs loved this ball. 

He chased it around happily.  Trying to get it into his mouth.

He spent all night at it until he finally stripped it.

Once "naked" the ball was toast.

 

WEDNESDAY: FAMOUS PIT BULL OWNER DAY

Let's hear it for the Ladies that are not scared of these gentle giants.

GOOD STRETCH

 
Biggs is not that much different from me.  We both eat, sleep and stretch.

I get up in the morning and lift my arms above my head and arch my back into a good stretch.  Well, Biggs does the same.  He doesn't throw his arms above his head but he slides them in front of him until his belly button is touching the floor and his haunches are up.  Then he throws his body forward until his hind legs are stretched behind him.  I've been known to do that too in yoga class.

Guess, the apple does not fall far from the tree.


 

PICTURE FRIDAY: UPSIDE DOWN BIGGS

Upside down or right side up, Biggs is a cutie pie.  Check it out for yourself!

Have a good weekend.

Do you know these Famous Pit Bull Owners?  Hint:  they were all Presidents.

Hint:  He rode with the Rough Riders.

Hint:  he was from New Jersey.

Hint:  this peanut farmer won the Nobel Peace Prize after leaving office.

Did you guess who they were?

They are Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter.

For extra credit, can you tell us what number President they were?

The correct answer is 26th, 28th and 36th.

Congratulations.

 

RIGHT OF WAY

The one with the biggest dog wins...or at least, gets a clear path.

But what happens when two big dogs want the same path?  It's a matter of courtesy.  Whomever gets there first gets the right of way.

Today I was walking Biggs by the school, as we do every morning.  Half way down, I noticed a man about to cross the street toward us.  He must have been dreaming-- or he didn't care-- because he made straight for us.  (Bold, wasn't he?)

Biggs had done his business so I crossed the street.  Didn't want to get into any tug of war with Biggs.  (He still has trouble with strangers.)

Half way up the block, on the other side of the street, I noticed a man and his big dog about to cross to the school side.  Luckily, Biggs and I had already done that walk so the big dog had a clear path, because the last thing I need in the break of dawn (5:25am) is a bark fest.

PICTURE FRIDAY: CHOPPERS

Biggs is smiling because today is Friday, and he is looking forward to the slumber party with Pinky J, Jo Jo Bean and Pu-Push.  (Me too!)   Plus, it's Mother's Day weekend and he has a special surprise for Mami MadLove and the Sexy Bird Keeper.  Best wishes to Moms everywhere.  Bark! Bark!

RECRUITMENT POSTER

 
You may remember that a couple of weeks ago we mentioned that pit bulls were the mascots of both World War I and World War II.  Pit bulls were featured on many recruitment posters, like the one here.

Look how beautiful, regal, patriotic and confident this pit bull looks.  Ready to fight --and win! -- any war.

Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue....and Pit Bulls everywhere!
