Sunday mornings could possibly be my favorite part of the week- coffee and puppy time go very well together! This picture is from last weekend, but illustrates pretty well our life here at casa de pit bull. Penny is doing wonderfully, spending more and more time out and about, walking every day and playing in the yard with Pty and hanging inside with her toys. She is a very passionate toy player, she loves whipping her rope and kong wubba toy around like a maniac. She is also a huge bone fan- chewing on her bones takes up a lot of her day, she has a few that she seems to pick out based on her mood at the moment. She is really starting to slip in to life here with us, which is wonderful but makes me a little apprehensive about her having to do it all over again with a new family- but she will do great, she loves everyone. She has been showing a little cringing towards moving cars when we walk, but who wouldn't after being hit by one and it breaking your legs! We very calmly soothe her when she does this, and she is doing it less and less as the days go by. She is learning voice commands, we work with her day in and day out (its hard to learn sit when you learned lay down first, kinda goes the other way but she couldn't sit when she had casts and we had to teach her something to make her calm down). We have had a little adoption interest in her, but nothing that ended up being right for Penny or the people interested in her (owning a pit can be more of a challenge then other breeds- Breed Specific Legislature and common human perception of pits can really hamper peoples opinions and subsequent adoption of the breed), and we are patiently waiting for a great family to come along, and happy to have her while we have her. Pty is so happy to have Penny here, it will probably break her little pitty heart when her sister (we like to call them that) goes to her new home. Happy spring to everyone, and remember to keep Penny in your thoughts.

mornings with the girls...

Keep up the great work. What a wonderful phase of the process. Now, to find someone good enough for Miss Penny the wonder dog.
She will adjust just fine in the best home you select for her, and will always remember you with gratitude and love. She will send you much goodness over the years, and inspire your future fostering.
