As a lot of you know, we adopted an American Staffordshire Terrier, aka: a pit breed, back in August. She was a rescue dog who had been very mistreated by the previous owners of the people we got her from. She is adjusting very well to our family. She is my boys best friend often playing superhero together. They love to break off tree limbs off of our tree, my oldest boy who is pictured below bends a stick for Abby who then pulls and pulls on the stick to pull it off of the tree. Abby sits at my feet outside while I have my smoke and keeps me company. She has gotten all of her confidence back and is very obedient. We have a old persian cat that doesn't like her but Abby doesn't even care she is around. Every night when my boys go to bed she has to go in and give them a lick on the face to make sure they are ok, if she doesn't do that, she will sit at there door until my wife or myself lets her in the room to check on them. I have to admit, there was a little trepidation about owning a pit breed but that is gone now. She is the type of dog that will and has helped people realize that she is not the terrible animal that people make them out to be. Funny, story there was a lady walking by my house and Abby was outside, she looked over and saw her behind the fence and yelled "Oh my God a pit bull", and ran across the street. My neighbor who lives across the street from me who hates dogs told her she was over reacting because Abby was the nicest dog she has ever met. Well, enough of a novel. Some people have asked about the dog and I was happy to give an update.
