You sound like me. Except I stopped at 4. Hahaha My other two passed from old age, unfortunately.

Aww I'm sorry. I don't look forward to that time. I feel like I'm going to be under rapid fire. All the dogs are 2 yrs and younger so it's going to be constant losses. I didn't really think about it until I had them all.

I’ve always wanted a Golden Retriever

You should get one! Just be ready for a pain in the butt till they settle down. And dog fur!

Here are Otis and Lily outside today:

...and poor Sunny stuck inside nursing an injury

I wish! Only problem is my mom would not like a big furry dog and I have my hands full already with Haven, my Maltipoo puppy.

This is Pepper (little black one) and Jordan! They're both rescues. ❤

My parents were not expecting the amount of hair! I knew they were big shedders, and need a lot of exercise and a good life to be healthy. A friend use to have a maltipoo(i think) she passed away a few years ago, she was super sweet once she got a little older, she was super kind to everyone.

I don't really have a personal stake in the debate going on here. I've known Pit owners, and the laws in the city are pretty strict, they can and do get put down for various reasons other dogs don't, and sadly those in my view are largely on the owners in many situations.

On the other hand small dogs and others not on the list, end up biting or harming kids or people quite a bit if not more (perhaps not fatally or fatally as often?) and again I attribute that to the owner (being a small dog owner myself) though dogs have freedom to react, and we cannot always predict or prevent every scenario. The whole thing very much mimics the debate on gun control.

The only anecdote I have on Pits, comes from one that was loose and ran up on my dad when he was walking all three of mine. Thankfully he was all bark because my Jack Russell leapt up and grabbed it by the throat and it backed down.

I attribute that to the owner, but who knows maybe someone let it out or it got loose. The issue becomes then what is the dog capable of doing when it's not under supervision? And that's were the laws come in to play.

I'm not so much worried about a nasty Chihuahua on the loose, but a Pit on the loose does concern me some. Not sure there's really a good answer to it all. But the attention could be focused on dog fighting for starters since that's keeping the war dog trait alive.

What more could we do on that front? It is already illegal.
