my youngest boys dog skippy who is a pit bull/whippet cross - we are
dog sitting while hes in training. skippy has a lot of energy and i
can understand how she wouldnt immediately take to him.

this morning when i got up to take the dogs out for exercise and a
little training i couldnt find skippy.

finally, i let the other two out and opened up the door to her room to
get her up to start getting ready for school and much to my total, but
very happy surprise, there was skippy curled up right next to her on
the bed - happy as a clam.

i got her up, she gave skippy a big hug and asked if skippy could stay
with her at night.

no problem sweetie. :)
Tom,
I know everyone who owns a Pit Bull talks about what a sweetheart the
dog is. The problem is most of the Pit Bulls who attack people are
called sweethearts.

Since they are genetically encoded to be aggressive fight dogs, I would
be very leery of allowing the dog to play with a child.

what part of the pit bull/whippet cross didn't you understand?

this dog has been vetted by me - and im one of the best at it.

Even a dog with part pit bull mix is potentially dangerous. You read of
attacks on owners of these dogs (including mix breeds) being attacked and
seriously injured, never thinking their dogs would turn on them.

My brother in laws brother was attacked by his own Chow, tearing part of his
lower lip completely off when he walked in front of the dog while it was
sleeping. I offer this only to show that any dog can potentially turn on
its owner, with the probability increasing with breeds known to be
dangerous.

You cannot dispute the facts Tom.

Picture please.

So, do you prefer Hebrew National or Rossler dogs?*

*Rossler was the brand of hot dogs served at the famous and fabulous
"Jimmies of Savin Rock," before the area was yuppified.

When I ate hot dogs, it was Sabrett or Hebrew National. I wish you had
not mentioned that, now I want one.

You'd find Rochester to be a living hell. There is no place (except one
distant kosher deli) where you can get a decent hot dog. The whole stupid
city serves Zweigle's red & white hots, both of which taste basically like
laundered baloney.

no offense jim, but you dont have all the facts of the case and, in
truth, you are totally and completely wrong.

not everyone has the experience and skills i have earned and learned
over 50 years of learning about dogs, handling dogs of all sorts
including war dogs, training dogs and vetting dogs for various jobs
like guard, protection and potential placement for rescue
organizations. i started with german shepards when i was ten years
old and have progressed through a number of breeds and a lot of
owners. I learned from the masters including my uncle who was a noted
dog trainer and have taken any number of classes including the us air
force training school.

im very good at what i do - i have had dogs put down for potential
agrressive behaviors - if there is a potential, i can find it.

its one of the things that i am an expert at and am very proud of it.
im not afraid of dogs - any dog - and can handle any situation with
skills that are the equal of any - dog whisperer - out there today.

dont presume that i dont know what im doing - in particular in this
area. i may not know everything about boats or psychology or
mechanical things, but i do know this - cold.


I defer to your expertise. Sorry if it sounded like I doubted it.

Jimmies of Savin Rock was *the* place to hang out in the summer from the
1950s to about the mid-1960s in southern Connecticut. Huge outdoor
restaurant, small indoor restaurant, fabulous food - dogs, clams,
lobster rolls, cherrystones, real fries, and Rossler franks. Everyone
would eat in their cars with the doors and windows open, listening to
the Clovers, the Del Vikings, the Elegants, the Penguins, the Drifters,
all the great Do Wop groups, and of course, our own local group, the
Five Satins.

Except for Healthy Choice products, I gave up all Sausage products / Hot
Dogs as a way to reduce fat intact.

Hebrew National 49grams
Total Fat 14g 20%
Saturated Fat 6g 30%
Cholesterol 30mg 10%

I still eat Healthy Choice Smoked Sausage mixed with beans, it is very
low in Fat and Saturated Fat.
51 grams of Smoked Sausage.
total Fat (2.5g) 4%
Saturated Fat (1g) 5%
Cholesterol (20mg) 7%

I still remember the flavor of a good hotdog, I just don't eat them.

The same with Pizza. I LOVED PIZZA, but I did not know how to eat a
slice. I would eat half a pizza. So today, I just don't eat pizza.

the big red dog is duke dogge dog - a mutant border collie - he is
totally blind and has been since birth. hes unbelievably smart. he
relies on smell and hearing - believe it or not, he can catch a ball
as long as it lands somewhere near him. he relies on my commands to
get the ball if he loses track of it. he has a working vocabulary of
about 500 words or there abouts and can understand simple non-compound
sentences.

the white and black dog is sky dog and is also a border collie. she
is a sweet heart and a very hard worker. unfortunately, she is about
as smart as a box of rocks and i have to work with her everyday to
keep her focused and keep her attention span at an appropriate level.
she lives for herding and wants every opportunity to work cows and
heifers.

the dog with the funny ears is skippy de dog, a pit bull/whippet cross
who is also very smart and a sweet heart. he still needs his training
leash when hes outside as he wants to chase cats - i use the training
leash to keep him from leaving the confines of the yard. i dont care
if he chases cats in the yard, but he has to stay in the yard. he has
learned his limits and has earned off leash time in the morning - he
is on the training leash at all other times. i figure another two
months or so with increased off leash times until hes good to go.
Nice looking dogs, they are almost as Motley as their owner. ; )
