Silent Saturday

Foster Friday

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be visiting the home/shelter for kids again on Monday and will report back Tuesday! ~Mikko~

As promised here is Luke's adventure at his first parade!

Hey guys! I had so much fun at the parade! We walked a long ways but it was fun to meet all types of people. I was so busy waiting to meet the next person that I totally ignored all the candy on the ground! My foster mom appreciated that, but I feel like I missed out! After the parade we hung out at the booth for the Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue, the rescue that is fostering me. I thought I should hang out front and center at the booth so that I could get all the attention. Would you like to see how clever I am next time?

Foster Friday

My foster brother Luke is making his big debut today and every Friday from now on! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy! ~Mikko~

Hi! My name is Luke and you guessed it....I'm a  9 month old Pit Bull looking for my forever home! Don't worry, I'm enjoying having a foster brother and sister. I LOVE playing with them, chasing them around the yard is my favorite! I'm so fast! My foster Mom says that I'm going to be an awesome sporty guy for things like agility, fly ball, frisbee, or just a running partner! Anyone looking for a dog that will do that? Go check me out! http://www.mnpitbull.com/

I have been able to do several fun things already...like be in a parade! Would you like to hear and see pictures about that next time?

Wordless Wednesday



Tiny me...well tiny at 11 weeks and 20 lbs!



Confidence With Children

After all my frustration lately I gained some confidence when I got to go and hang out with some pretty cool kids today at a home/shelter for children. I had a blast! I even gained a new girlfriend! I wish I would have got Mom to take a picture of the two of us, but I was so busy sniffing....I mean flirting, that I forgot. Maybe next time?

I had different responses from the kids. Some were afraid of me (which I can understand because I'm a pretty big guy) and some were not. I did get most of the kids to at least pet me by the end of our time there though. I knew just what to do! I laid down on the floor and just crawled my way towards them and then flipped on my back so they could pet my belly....I'm a genius! ;)

My girlfriend's dad tried to read some from my favorite book ( The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption ) but I couldn't sit still because I was so busy trying to get petted that he just gave up eventually.

I even got to show off for the kids by doing my tricks! They loved that I knew how to speak and asked me several times to speak, which I was very happy to do for them. Some of the kids even helped me with my tricks, that was fun!

This has been the best/funnest visit so far! I don't know why Mom was so worried, but I showed her! :-p

Frustration

My Mom is upset and that does not make me happy! She said it has to do with me and looking the way I do. I don't understand....what did I do?!?! I did NOTHING to deserve being told I can't go somewhere because of the way I look or because of the way I used to act as a barely trained puppy. My Mom and I have worked really hard to get where I am today and this is how I get treated....unbelievable!

DON'T BULLY ME....OR MY MOM!!!!!!!!

Mom says that people are just trying to discourage us from doing something really cool with our lives and that is all we need to remember. We are doing this to show the world that pitties like me are good and loving. We will accomplish something great, even if we aren't sure what that is yet.....just wait and see! :)

Apology And A Promise

The Mom here. :)

I just wanted to say sorry to my boy!

I'm sorry that I have not trusted you like I should when it comes to other dogs and other humans. You are growing into such an amazing, strong, and confident dog! You are not the wild and crazy little puppy you used to be.

I promise that I will protect you no matter what might come our way.
I promise that I will protect you from any bullying.
I promise that I will help you become the best that you can be.
I promise to trust you.
I promise to "listen" to you.
I promise to learn from you.
I promise to be more like you.
I promise to love you always.

Your Momma

Happy 4th!

Just wanted to say a quick "hi" and that I will be back with news on how my visit to a home for children goes.

Happy 4th!

Here is the trio: my sister (Emma), my foster friend (Luke), and me! :)  Like my patriotic bling?!?!
