I've got a six foot fence, and I rarely leave my dog out of longer than time to do his business. I totally understand all of you, he's my family, my most loyal companion.
@SomeTexan I feel you on people and their disdain, or rather misinformation, towards Pits. It's the owner, not the breed. I've met many pit bulls with responsible kind owners, they were well trained, friendly, and pretty damn calm in their demeanor. Unfortunately, the nature of their bodies makes them ideal for unsavory things, and the people who raise them that way ruin the reputation of a kind and loyal breed.
I had a chocolate lab, prior to my current dog, and he was a pure bred block head, frisbee catching badass, and was lean and jacked up. I had a landlord sell my house mid lease, and the new owner called Denver animal control to report that I had a Pit Bull, illegal there. I took him to my parents house, and left him until I moved, I wasn't about to let animal control take him and test him and do who knows what.
@dre my dog is trained to not fuck with food, but if I presented that to him, it would be gone in an instant upon given permission. Cute pup, and good for you for taking care of the leg. I lost my lab to cancer when he was 6, I spent a shit ton of money on the surgery. He got attacked by two dogs once, too, another shit ton of money on surgery, but, it's what we do for our pets. You've got a lucky dog, eating like that.
