Massive head .. scary and impossibly dangerous if he got mad.<br />I avoid him, the nephew is never invited to visit me, I have cats , better known as <br />snacks ...<br />I know they are just dogs and there are probably more good gentle ones than bad, but I don't believe in taking that sort of risk ... I avoid them at all times.<br />Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-76019980755414433282017-06-23T11:46:33.052-04:002017-06-23T11:46:33.052-04:00I've raised pits to be as gentle as can be and...I've raised pits to be as gentle as can be and thought they were until they turned into killing machines, bent on murdering each other or killing a kitten.

Glad to see it didn't wash you away.<br />We will get up to 100 today, (South Bay San Francisco), I know about the heat. No AC, nights are interesting when it is so hot during the day and our upstairs bedroom saves all the heat for us. We get a break on the humidity but that's it.<br />:)<br />TJ Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302345097335357731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-38732188119717761662017-06-22T13:53:38.944-04:002017-06-22T13:53:38.944-04:00I'm a huge dog lover, but I draw the lines at ...I'm a huge dog lover, but I draw the lines at pits. If I don't know them I don't interact with them. <br />Here in The Land of Lincoln (and imprisoned governors and no State budget) it's been hot and humid.
