Lucky to have a friend

I just been thinking how lucky I am even to have Diesel. I had no intention of getting a dog, I had a dog, Little Man, a very strong Pit Bull. He was about eleven years old so I guess that in the back of my mind, I new Little Man would not be around forever. He passed on from cancer about three months after we got Diesel. I know that Diesel was how I got through having to let Little Man go. It was like he knew he had big shoes to fill and he is such a good dog! This dog has never chewed on any thing of ours, listens to most commands, never crapped in the house, and the one time he did pee, we scared him so bad he has never tried it again. I do not know what made me fall in love with this mutt, cause that is what he is, half Great Dane, half Pit Bull . I had raised pure breed Pits for almost fifteen years before, so it would seem that I would stick with the breed. The truth is I had grown tired of keeping Pit Bulls, they are extremely dangerous to other animals not to mention humans. What ever, I have no idea why I fell for a little puppy, I'M JUST SO GLAD THAT I DID!

Jan. 21 Walk Just got me thinking

Ever wonder why some people have pets. I gave it some thought today as I walked my dog, Diesel. My neighbor's little dog "Precious" is in "heat". So for the last few days we have had a steady stream of suitors, seeking her affection. Some were strays, some from the neighborhood. Not sure who to blame, I just wish that when people got a pet, that they would be responsible for it. I don't want to call the pound, my slack neighbors would just get other dogs. Why is this legal, I mean, is pet ownership a right? For that matter why did you get the animal in the first place. Was it cute? Did you want to help a friend get "rid" of the cute little critters. You know, give them a good home where you leave them in a pen in their own crap, or on a chain left to rot or die, which ever comes first. I mean think about it, why ... Any way Diesel and I had a great walk. The weather was cold put clear today. Good two miles or so.
