Look at that face! He is beautiful!

The love of my husband's life was a black lab called Suzy. I am a distant second. One day, we'll have a dog.

Mac. Half great swiss mountain dog, the other half is some undetermined flavor of spaniel.

Hmmmm

My little Boston Terrorist won't sit still long enough to get a good pic. Dozer is 14 Lbs of attitude, all wrapped up in a cute little package. He snores, his tongue sticks out so her looks mentally challenged, he poops ON MY BEDROOM WALL somehow when he wants attention, and he is a general pain in the behind, but I wouldn't trade him for a million bucks!

Our alpha brindle, Nudge, will do something similar outside. When we walk him in the park or along trails, he'll often try to get his tush up real high to poop. Like, he'll walk his hind legs backward on top of a log and then poop. Kind of weird, but it also makes the poop easy to get to and pick up. He's never done it inside though.

Can this be a way of marking territory?

Probably, remember that dogs sense of smell is many times better than ours, ellavating the poop would allow the wind to spread the scent further.

As I understand when dogs do the scratching the ground or grass where they have gone they are making another scent marker to direct other dogs to their scat.

You can really see the strain it placed on them in their expressions!

GREAT photo!

Thanks!
She's literally the first dog I've ever had and I can't ever see myself having any other dog other than a pitbull. It's a shame the breed is so demonized. The used to be "America's favorite breed" in the 20's and now they've banning the breed all over the place. She's been nothing but great and gentle with children and the elderly as well. I completely encourage anyone looking for a dog to consider this breed. I've read that only 1 in 600 in shelters (where we got ours) ever get adopted!

Beulah is a beautiful girl! It's such a shame that they have been latched onto by such an awful subgroup and had their good names ruined!

Here are a few of my crazy bulldog mix Molly (along with one or two of my old Shar-Pei, Gunner:

She looked so sweet and gentle taking a nap the first day I had her . . .

This is Bailey, our 7 month-old Cavachon. She's really just a spring-loaded cotton ball.

He/She looks beautiful.

She's sometimes willing to pose for the camera:

Other times, she just pulls faces...
