My son grew up around pitbulls. Once upon a time I rented a cottage on a property where the owners had 2 of them. The younger one was a mix, the older one was purebred. They were both very sweet natured & my son played with them from ages 3 to 10...he used to throw lemons for them to catch. For some reason I didn't worry about these dogs & my son loved them. Knowing what I know now, I am amazed that I was so trusting but truly they adored my son too. Just writing this freaks me out a bit though.
Once, a housesitter made the grave mistake of not separating the dogs at dinner time. They were at each others throats in an instant with their huge clamped jaws & it took me & a long time with a full power water hose to get them apart...the older one ended up at the vets but recovered. After that they were best of friends again. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
