Been a while...
So let's recap the last couple days... hmmmmm. I'm still working on re-aligning my life towards a direction of less stress while receiving the maximum income possible, all the while doing the least amount of work possible. Its not that bad, I've decided to become a poet in my new found spare time.
There has been a significant addition to the homestead... his name is Chester - our new bulldog puppy (pictures to follow). Zorro seems to love the little guy, they play and frolic as if they were from the same litter. Which I must say is a nice change of thing compared to him running down and attacking the "former dog that shall remain unnamed".
Cin... who I never thought to a big bulldog fan seems to really like him along with the rest of the family. I've received many offers to place Chester in their care. For some reason they think that there's a snowballs chance in hell that he's leaving our warm and bulldog accommodating abode. So to those that want to take my puppy...FAT CHANCE SLAPPY!!!~!! HE AIN'T GOIN NOWHERE!!~!
So, the other day I worked a 1/2 day. I went home and took Z to the dog park. We were the only ones there. Soon after though a couple with their pit bull decided to enter the park. Of course due to caution and the past instances, I asked if the dog was friendly or aggressive. I don't have a problem leaving the dog park, as I am not the owner of it nor do I act/demand that it is (whole other story). At first the pit seemed okay, doing his own thing. Unfortunately, this did not last long. He attempted to establish he was the alpha-dog there. Now, this dog is 14months and roughly 70lbs. Z is 7 yrs old and 40lbs. Grossly mismatched. Z growled and the owner lifted his dog by the studded harness he seems is necessary for his pooch. Z being the strategic mastermind that he is, exploited its weakness and attached himself at its throat.
So now I had a situation, I removed Z from the situation, but the pit retalliated and bit down onto Z's ear. Now, as all pits will do, he bit down and did not let go. I stated to his owner that it would be in the best interest of the pit for him to remove his pooch or that I would. He accommodated this suggestion rather quickly.
I cannot be too upset with this guy as his dog may not have survived the wrath of Zorro. As they were walking away his dog seemed to have some difficulty walking as blood dripped from its neck. Oh well. Not that I condone my dog attacking and/or hurting another dog. But I am tired of hearing stories about pit bulls and their owners swearing they aren't aggressive, and then mauling if not killing other dogs and/or their owners. I am a strong believer that the dog is a product of the owners raising habits. Unfortunately, most people that invest in pit bulls are ignorant people to begin with. Now, let's be clear here. I'm not say "all pit owners, nor am I say all pits" I'm simply saying in the NYC metro area most people with pitbulls are uneducated ghetto rats. We all know the stereotype that I am speaking of. Those that make their dogs walk on a 3 foot chain that could be used to haul an M1 Sherman tank. They have studded collars or better yet, they have the same type of chain as fore mentioned around the dogs collar. They prefer the image of having this kick ass dog to be able to kill anything. Sorry folks, but I hope one day, when Spike gets a little testy and I'm sure he will, he latches down on your adam's apple and crushes it ever-so-slowly as you lose consciousness due to the asphixiation of your once self thought to be "champ".
*sigh* I digress...
So let's move onto yesterday. It was the ole' mans birthday so the fam. got together for dinner of course. And as usual, he wanted to drink, the result, a bad hangover and the patience of an gnat right now. This is my life.
more to come as I become more able to open my eyes and not writhe in pain from the rays of light shining from the florescent bulbs above my cube.
