Gertie + Vinnie Sharing how amazing it is to love and be loved by pit bulls!

We didn’t got to swim last week, and since then I’ve been sick (aka too sick to take him on his walks)… so he about lost his mind when we pulled into the parking lot for The Doggie Paddle! Happy boy, happy mom 🥰

That time of night when he gets antsy but doesn’t know what he wants to do. Well, short of knowing he doesn’t want to relax with me 😂

When the human has tubby time and tries to make it look relaxing… likely story, lady, we weren’t born yesterday!

Well, pals, I tell you one thing… when a cold knocks you out for almost a week (again), getting your order from Zoo Snoods is a really fast way to cheer youself up. I can’t with these two! 😍🐮🦌😆

No one knows how to hygge (while also provide the hygge for me) more than Gertie 💛

Someone in this house is tired of the girls hogging the electric blanket and someone in this house doesn’t care what he thinks. Probably hard to tell who is who 😂

Sick again 😕 But with a cute little nugget sleeping by my head and big cuddle bug sleeping at my feet, I’m sure to feel better in no time 😍

He put in two miles and was not happy with me when I requested he got in the cart for the last mile. We saw five deer, and he decided he was three years old, again. Considering how much snoring I’m hearing right now, I think we made the right decision 🥰😂

Added a new ornament to the tree from MUTTS — like many, I absolutely love Sparky’s rescue story. 💛

I wish I could say I’m busy with holiday gatherings and reconnecting with humans, but I find myself in another crunch time for work that is keeping me from quality time with the most important people in my life: these two. They know I love them and their life isn’t lacking, but (especially as they get older) losing a day of focused time with them is absolutely haunting.

Just wanted to share that with those of you feeling the same way, so you don’t feel alone. No shame. It is what it is. And, I understand how you feel. 💛

Mooooom, why are you always taking my picture! Because you’re adorable, Gertie, and I can’t help myself 😍😍😍

You all know how much we love Ms Laurie at The Doggie Paddle, and we want to express our gratitude for Ron, too! He helped Vin to swim all the way across the pool to get his toy, yesterday, when Vinnie wasn’t too sure about that. 💛 Thanks, Ron!

This day almost escaped me not realizing the actual date! 😕 I feel awful.

My dear Gertie, I will treat you to a full day of shenanigans this week. Today, I’m grateful we did and will continue to do a lot of cuddling. I can’t believe this girl has been riding shotgun in the car and full on driving my heart for almost 11 years.

The best lil girl! Love you, nugget/lil mama/peanut head/banana pants/queen president 💛💛💛💛💛

#shotgunGertie #inVinniebull

Gertie was adopted from It’s a Pittie Rescue on June 11, 2014 — where she was estimated to be 6 months old. I gave her the birthday of November 30, 2013 (tribute to my first cat, Qi, who passed on that day a year earlier — sometimes I wonder if they share parts of the same soul). When she came home she had just had knee surgery and was on crate lockdown for her first 6 weeks with me. They didn’t know her back story, and I hope it wasn’t horrible — but how you part ways with this little beauty is beyond me. Once she was fully healed, we walked everywhere (it is normal for us to do about 5 miles a day walking or hiking or running). She is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She’s tiny but mighty. She’s funny and sassy. She’s smart and loving. She’s the full package. Three and half years later Vinnie was adopted from Players for Pits on January 1, 2018. He was a 90 lb, 4 year old (born September 11, 2013), black pit bull covered in scars from his mast cell tumors being removed. Needless to say, he was hard to adopt out. But those were the reasons that attracted me to him. And then once we met, well, it was all over. He came from a hoarders house and was never really trained to be a dog. The work Players for Pits did with him, especially his first foster Becki, was incredible. He still has a lot of things to learn — he just gets so excited to meet new people or do new things, and that’s a lot to calm down in a 90 lb pup — but he learns so fast and really just wants to be acknowledged for his efforts by his parents. This page is to share their story — to show you how wonderful pit bulls are as companions. The stereotype given to them, the horrible humans who abuse them, and the breed-specific legislation created against them is pure ignorance. So we’ll also share news pieces that keep us all up to date on what is happening, and share with you the efforts and needs of the non-profs like It’s a Pittie Rescue and Player for Pits who are working tirelessly to improve the world for these pups (and us too).
