Combined Blogs?

Well since Nubs has become just a pet for a while, at least until I can find something he'd enjoy doing (obedience is out he finds it boring) I was thinking about starting a Blog for Peanut too keep up with her on her Search and Rescue training, and a combination of other training. Then the thought came up , why not just combined the two blogs into one?

Vote for what you think I should do!

Pros: More Updates!

Con: Won't be just about Nubs nor will most of the updates be just about Nubs.

What do you think?????

Another Slllloooowwww Month

So I guess it's time to do a monthly update on Nubs. With Peanut being around, Nubs's knee is getting stronger and stronger. I think he'll forever have a stiff knee but it no longer seems to be painful to him at all. He'll never have a perfect sit for obedience, but we still might to rally with him for fun. We will see what spring brings us and go from there.

Not a bad looking boy


Still one of his favorite things to do!


It's ALL MINE!


I see that flirt pole!


HUGE AIR!


Got to just LOVE him. He may now be a "couch potato" but he's still my heart dog!

If It's Not One Leg, It's Another

Long time, no update.

This week I took Nubs and his new official sister Peanut out camping with my parents. Talk about a long few days. Nubs did great as always, Peanut was a bit of a spaz (Like puppies are). I love having a dog that can be off leash and never wonder off. Makes for a tad bit more enjoyable of a trip if you aren't spending ever 30 seconds untieing a dog from something they got wrapped around.

Sadly we ended up coming home a day early. Some how some way Nubs hurt his front paw meaning not only was he limping on the knee he had ACL surgery on (it never healed correctly :( ) but also on one of his front paws. Today it's better with not so much of a limp but if it's not one paw it's another. Nubs is falling apart at his young age of 4 1/2. Love my boy to death I really do but man I wish he had better genetics. This is why I honestly support only good, responsible, health testing breeders. If more people took the time to make sure they are only breeding genetically healthy dogs, Nubs wouldn't be in all this pain that he is in. So next time you look at your dog and think "man I'd love to breed my dog" remember there are genetic that you can't see that may cause issues in your dogs puppies. Just Spay or neuter your pets. Even Peanut will be spayed after her first heat.

Can you spot the puppy?

Ahhhh a nice place to lay down!

And the puppy again

Nubs the Puppy Sitter

So, if you know me or know me on Facebook, then you already know that I currently have a foster dog named Peanut. Peanut is a 4ish month old, female Pit Bull that was found wondering in a park very close to a busy street. She's a handful, but has come a long way since she came here with Nubs and myself.

"Hey did you do that?"

Is she not just too adora-bull for her own good? Yeah She is something else that's for sure. Nubs is being a great foster brother though. He has taken the little brat... I mean sweet little puppy under his paw, and is teaching her the ropes. Like Nubs has taught her that to get Mom's attention the best way to do it is to grab her sock and rub, or when you don't get things your way make sure to bark, and other wonderful things like that. Overall though, Nubs has taught Peanut not to be so scared of everything. In two days thanks to Nubs, Peanut has gone from thinking everyone is out to get her to loving everyone around. That's pretty good since the first time she met me, she wanted to run away.

Hey! Who are you calling a brat?

Feel free to check out Mr. Saint Nubs with his newest playmate Peanut.




Overall, I think they like each other. Nubs is a great dog and I'm thankful that he is here with me.

The Things They NEVER Tell You When You Own A Pit Bull.

When your looking at the cute puppy/dog there are things people forget to tell you. They have just the cutest eyes, softest coat, even the greatest personality and all that is true. However, there are things that no one warns you about when you bring them home. Here is my list:

The Things They NEVER Tell You When You Own A Pit Bull
1. If you value your privacy, get over it.
2. Forget about ever going to the bathroom alone again. If you some how manage to slip in unnoticed, forget about any peace. The whining will make you open the door and let them in.
3. Forget about personal space. If it's not your lap, it's not good enough
4. BEWARE OF ZOOMIES! Zoomies are dangerous to humans. Sure it's all funny and cute until that Pit Bull is running toward you playing chicken. You will NOT win.
5. Never leave food unattended. It will not be there when you get back.
6. If you don't like slobber, then you'll have to get use to it.
7. If you don't like millions of doggy kisses, then you'll have to get use to it.
8. TAILS! OOOOWWWWWIIIIIEEEEEE! (ok not something I must worry about with Nubs, but I do have many friends with dogs with tails)
9. If they think it, it will happen or else something is going to break.
10. Think "Bull in China Shop" (yeah yeah I know Mythbusters busted that saying) but we are talking about Pit BULL in China Shop...
11. If there is a will, there is a way.
12. There is NO SUCH THING AS A STRANGER. Forget about having a guard dog. These guys think of everyone as long lost friends.
13. "FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD PLAY PLAY FOOD KISSES BELLYRUB FOOOOOOOOD WALK!!!!!! FOOOD!!!!" The mind of a Pit Bull.
