If I run into an Islamocommunist hippo type, I’ll direct it back to Berkeley, where it most likely originated.

Pit bulls are American dogs that fight for honor and freedom. They will keep the Islamocommunist hippo types in quarantine. ;o]

I never trust animals, especially around young children. People who let their children around pit bulls are asking for trouble.

“Toddler Hitting Puppy

“Our 2 3/4 yr. old son has just started hitting our puppy and chasing and harrassing our cats (immitating the worst behaviours of the puppy). He is on his own initiative making the big change from diapers to potty, and I heard that some regression is to be expected due to that. I mentioned the hitting this morning to our daycare provider, and she said he and his 3 y.r old best friend (also a boy) have started hitting each other and her dog, as well as poking each other and the dog with sticks (yuck). Our son also recently went through a phase of calling us names like stupid and jerk. I personally find it easier to handle (ignore) the verbal assaults. I would really appreciate reading about how other parents have dealt with these problems.

We certainly do spend lots of time explaining to our son that the puppy (who weighs more than our son already) is our responsibility, that pets are to be taken care of and loved. We always stop him from hitting the pup and chasing the cats. We sometimes put him on timeout for his actions, and never hit him to discipline him. I am weary of having explained what is acceptable over and over without seeing any change in his behaviour. On name calling: we were told by other parents that using swearwords is mostly done to get a reaction, and so we handled the name calling in the way that was recommended for swearing. We told him that what he said was mean and could hurt peoples’ feelings and then we let it go. “

Are those shorts starched and ironed? That may be a clue to the mentality of the pit bull hater....

Dogs are loyal/obedient. They do what they are trained to do. If that means attacking intruders, they will do so, not knowing any better.

If you love a dog, and teach it to love and respond to love, they will never be aggressive. “Raise your kids like puppies and your puppies like kids, and you’ll never have any trouble with either.”

Agree with you on all points! Had 'kids' and have always dogs; and usually in multiples. You take good care of them; and they take good care of 'you'. Dogs, of coure, do not grow up to be teenagers. . .

Dogs DO become teenagers, but they disguise it well.
