Getting Adjusted
By Titan T-Bone Fukr Pace
Adjusting to my new forever home has been tough. I kept pushing my new momma and daddy to see how far I could push them before they got angry. Well, it didn't take long. I had a couple accidents, well more than a couple, on the furniture but it really wasn't my fault. I tried to go out but the door was shut. I couldn't hold it until they came home from work. Oops, I'm sorry.
I keep on itching, what is wrong with me. Oh yeah, that stupid Science Diet food the pound was feeding me. Don't you know you can't feed a pitbull that because we have allergies? Try something new! Please!! Well momma did some research online and found some good "food" tips from some pitbull breeders. Evo, Blue Buffalo, or Taste of the Wild. Momma and daddy tried the Evo. It gave me the poops. Hello! I don't like this stuff! So then they try Taste of the Wild! Oh yea!! That's yummy!!
So finally my itching stops and I'm starting to put on weight! I'm filling out! Yippee! This is awesome!
I didn't have much training so momma decided to take me to a trainer for some obedience. We had a few private lessons and I did really good. Momma didn't like all the trainer was teaching but we still did it and practiced at home. Then I tried a group class. I wasn't allowed to participate because the trainer didn't know what I would do. Hello! I want to train too! I'm not going to bite anybody! Not fair! So I sat with momma and daddy and just watched. I was such a good boy!
Momma decided to take me out of that class. How was I to be socialized if I couldn't be near them. So momma has been teaching me all by herself and yes, I am SMART! That is as long as I'm on a leash or inside. Give me the run of the back yard, and heck no! I'm not listening! This is my play time. Yeah, momma is still working on me with that. I'll get it.
Slowly I am learning to trust momma and daddy. I have become the guard of the house. When momma and daddy aren't home, I protect the house! When they are home, I still protect the house, the car, the jeeps, the truck, the front yard and back yard and even the road in front of the house! Why do people have to walk by? They upset me!!
My favorite is when the gas guy comes. This guy pulls into my driveway, walks through my back yard and puts gas in the tanks so we have heat. When he comes, I run from the front of the house to the back of the house, barking my head off to let him know I don't like him here and get out of my yard! He upsets me so much that sometimes I piddle on the floor or furniture. I just can't help it!When I'm really upset, I'll take a cushion or two off the couch. This makes momma really mad and then she fences off the couch so I can't get on it. I get so sad. She doesn't spank me cause she knows I'm just upset cause some dude was here that shouldn't have been. I'm just protecting the house momma. Just like you told me to. I tried to scare him off but he done it anyway.
Please don't be mad momma. I really am a good boy and I love my forever home. Forgive me?
