Pitties can be goofballs

When you see a pitbull on the street, you may be afraid. But what you should know is that pitties aren't that scary. They're really just goofballs, but muscular ones.

 We have had some calls and stuff from other people about Clover, and how we should get a muzzle for him, and that he did something, like once he ripped someones jacket, and another time it was our neighbors pant leg, but we know that the only reason he did that was because he is trying to protect the house, But, he still is a kid, so he is still learning how to protect the house from evil chipmunks, or people in this case.

Also, he likes to run a lot along with bikes and runners, don't let that freak you out, that just means he wants to play and run, so he's not doing anything wrong, just playing. 

He is such a goofball, and is loved dearly by his new family here, and gets a lot of treats too! 

But has a sad story, if you would like to know more, read on. 

He was a stray in Texas, when he was very young, we don't know who owned him, or how he got strayed. But, when he was a very young puppy, he was hit by a car, and had a broken leg for a long time ( but we got him surgery to fix it, now he's strong again!) and had many scars scattered on his muscular body, and a big one right above his eye. He was found and then was rescued by Safe With Us Rescue and we got him there. 

During his time here, he shows no intrest in leash-training, but has in trick-training, for now he knows sit, stay, stand, lay down, belly up, rollover, lap, ( lay on your lap)  shake hands, wave hand, secret ( snorts in your ear, which is one of the strange, but funny noises he makes, like a noise that sounds like hehehe, and cacaca) and dance. ( jump onto your hands and walk on two legs while hold onto my hands) We joke that we could get money off this dog and his tricks!

Also, I got the name Clover while working in the garden and we were talking about names for the dog we might get, and we were weeding, and let me just say now that a clover plant is really hard to pull out of the ground, so I got to a clover plant and I said " Uhg, clover!" But, then I'm like " Oh. Clover!" So that's what happened.

Also, you have to train dogs to be mean, scary fighting dog, so if you give them love and care, they'll respect you forever!

We had a great picnic on our front lawn today in the nice warm weather, it was warm and sunny for the first time in months!
