Guess the only reason I am jumping in is because the college students renting the basement here have a Pit Bull...I am scared of the dog and have no desire to meet him/her.

I have seen the owner walk the dog in the back yard and I was surprised, as Pit Bulls aren't really as huge as I thought they were.. The dog is a light brown/tan color and is actually quite beautiful. The dog looks very healthy and was enjoying his/her romp in the back yard. The dog is always on a leash when outdoors, so he could only romp and play so far..

umm, it is obvious he is well loved and the owners take great care of him.. Guess one thing is, the dog hasn't been socialized with other dogs and people which makes him more I guess protective of his living quarters, which happens to be the basement, where the washer n dryer happen to be.. LOL...We have to holler down to check when it is ok to wash clothes.. Dare not open the door to holler down, cuz the dog comes tearing up the steps fast.. lol... Getting exercise from running from the door, thinking the dog will surely break through and get me.. lol... am laughing sorta, but these are strong dogs, am sure he could break through the door. Needless to say, I started doing my laundry at the x-hubby's house.. lol

This house happens to be my son's and I moved here to do some yard work and work a bit on the house. anyway.. I know any dog can be mean and it is the owner's responsibility to train their dogs. I just don't trust Pit Bulls..I am afraid of them... I would never, ever do any harm to any dog including a Pit Bull... I just pray the folks in the basement move.. smile
