Opinions, and Kayla the Cuddle Monster

Recently there were some pictures put on the Bullies in Need Facebook page that caused a bit of a stir.  They were put there by Bullies in Need themselves and were of some very well behaved and beautiful pitbulls.  Two very distraught people had some comments, one of whom was not so delicate in expressing their outrage on putting muzzles on the dogs.  The other person was upset but kept the swear words to a minimum.  The opinion was that this was just propagating the myth of the vicious pitbull and how could they do this to the dogs.  Ok, I understand, but lets ask why, before getting loud and crass about it.  It was then explained that this is the law therefore its to protect the dog. The other person who was a bit more elegant in her wording actually replied back and understood, but as predicted the other hothead did not. 

All of us who live in areas with this law are appalled by having to do this.  It makes our dogs look like Hannibal Lecter and yes therefore instills the myth even deeper.  The big happy goober faces covered up by this.....

 I couldn't bring myself to put a picture of Kayla with it on, that's how much it bothers me.  But, in the long run if it keeps the breed alive I'll do it.  I rather see her like this

Work it girl...

Alrighty then on to happier things like the cuddle monster we have in our midst!!  Kayla loooooves to be with people.  As soon as someone sits on the couch, chair or floor she is there looking to hop on the lap and use you as her personal body pillow.  I call her the cuddle shark because of her grey face and the fact that she can sense someone sitting from anywhere in the house, she then gets you in her sights and BAM you have been hit.  Some examples;

The sleeping habits of a tween are strange to start with throw in a bed hog and this is what you get...lol

My sister who was not aware of her shark like stealth was overtaken.

But, there is one guy who is not affected by her charms or slyness, its Windy.  Windy has mucho patience to play with her, he even puts up with her trying to steal his kibble (but not the chew teeth cleaning thingy) but he draws the line at cuddling so far....

Her first rejection she tried to sleep on top of him but she kicked her off and this was the compromise, notice the blanket between them.

This was the next step, note the touching and Windys dejected look.

Yes, here we have full contact and Windy is tolerating it.  Now, no judging me I came home and put on some PJ bottoms, keep all fashion faux pas comments to yourself.

Its still a work in progress for her of course her ultimate goal is to lay on top of him and that will take some time but she keeps trying.....

That's it for today soon I will have pics of the hole in the backyard that the dogs are digging to get to China.... what a pair of dorks.

Take care
