Our pit mix is getting old. I grabbed a newspaper from a neighboring town and saw ads for the shelter and they had 3 different pit mix dogs so I know where I can get a replacement for Mollie now.
My white-headed girl Gwen is the best dog I’ve ever had. Sweet, smart, hilarious, and good with kids and other dogs.
Years ago, a friend of mine was in the market for a second dog. We went to the pound, and looked around. He’d been impressed with my pig’s intelligence and good behavior, so he wasn’t put off by the thought of a pit. This was when they were getting a lot of bad press. He found a large black dog with a block-head, and went and asked the attendant about her. He said she’d come in that morning, and was “black lab and something else,” skirting the P word. My friend said, “Yeah, it’s the ‘something else’ that I’m looking for.“
