Hi Dan,

Good to here from you.Wow, pitbull, mastiff mix she must be huge.Dogs are the best medicine I agree. I have to tell you I really hesitated to get the pit bull mix but so happy we did. We wanted to go the rescue way because there is so much going on with abuse of animals at least we could do are part in some way. Most rescue facilities have many pit bull mixes. When we first met him he was 6 months and very friendly, the trainer there did a great job training him. So we decided okay, let's do it. After the formalities at the shelter, I say formalities but they really checked us out. It was a manitory 4 business day wait until you could pick up the puppy. They called our vet, our animal control in town to make sure we renewed our prior dogs license each year and then they give him a bath, nails and he was ready to go. He is 14 months old now, he goes for a check up next month I'm sure he's 100lbs, and he is so happy and thinks he's a lap dog. Can still jump a good 4 feet in the air like he's 10lbs. He is so strong and muscular I have never seen a dog like this, he has those great dane long legs he's amazing. Pitbulls are a great bread but I'm learning it's the way they are treated. You can see they have a sense of meaness but only if provoked. He's a great dog and we just love him so much. He is definitly a Mamas boy also and I love it.

Maybe you can give me a suggestion. He still jumps up on people when they come in the house or we see neighbors outside walking, he's not mean or anything but he is so big I can see it gets annoying to people. But he really is only getting excited and we have tried everything to get him to stop. Any suggestions?

Hope you are feeling well these days.
