My nephew stopped by!

With Shilo, his pit bull. She is SUCH a sweet dog! We certainly didn't introduce her to MY little MONSTERS. Colby would MAYBE be OK, but since she has become a total bitch in her retirement I wouldn't want Shilo to have to deal with that. Spur MIGHT be OK, but he has trouble sometimes with big dogs. Roscoe would be.......BAD......and Shilo definitely doesn't need to meet Roscoe. :O

Dug out of my purse my first photo of Roscoe. I thought I ought to preserve it digitally, since it is getting a bit worn. This was Roscoe the first week we had him. What a FATTY!!! Because he was so food motivated he kept getting cookies at the shelter in hopes that would make him nice? Um, no, Roscoe will take the cookie, THEN bite! Bad dog! Cookies do help, some, but really it was all the training and self control work we did that helped him. And the fact that we learned he doesn't WANT to be patted. So, why pat him? He's really quite good so long as no one TRIES to be his friend. He picks his friends and that's his choice. He doesn't HAVE to be friends with a lot of people. He just doesn't. He has few friends. That's just how it is.

Goodness, he was FAT!
