KISSES!!!!

Pty doesn't mind sharing her bed with Penny...

We live in a fairly drafty log cabin (that we love) with a very warm wood burning stove, but it can get cold at night, so a long while ago we bought Pty a heated bed (what a spoiled girl). Penny has taken quite a liking to Pty's bed, as you can see. Penny is doing wonderfully, we have been working really hard at her basic training- she is getting so good at the stay command! I can have her lay on her blanket in the living room, tell her to stay, walk outside around the cabin to our laundry, change the laundry, and walk back in and she hasn't moved a muscle! She is very eager to please, and as we all know stay can be a hard one to learn. She can sit and lie down, and we are working on stay and leave it. We have had no problems with her and our cat, all we have to say is a firm "no" and Penny looks away from the cat and leaves her alone. She will be a great candidate for CGC (canine good citizen) and further training- maybe hospital visit dog training or something along those lines. Her eagerness to please people overrides her natural instinct to do what she wants to, which is a great quality in a pit bull. She is just a dream girl!

time to chew bones on mom and dad's bed!!

Penny and her dad- don't they kinda look alike?

the two keys to my heart...

saturday morning bone time...

the girls...

Penny and Pty are becoming closer and closer as the days go by. Their favorite thing to do is lay on the blanket in the living room and chew on their bones, which after about 15 minutes of chewing on one they switch and chew on the other one for awhile- its pretty cute. Penny is doing great with the Cosmo our cat, seems to only have a passing interest in Cosmo when she comes in, but for the most part has been pretty uninterested in her. When we got Pty, she had to be trained to live with the cat, so we used a spray bottle of water and would spray her every time she got near the cat or showed interest in her. It took about 2 months, and that was 3 1/2 years ago, and Cosmo and Pty have lived happily ever after since. Penny seems like she will be even easier to cat train, and will do fine with a cat in her home if she has parents who are willing to continue her cat education. Happy saturday to everyone!
