Right now its his right leg but the vet said most likely his left will go as well in a couple of years. My poor baby boy. Looks like there's a surgery or two in his future.
I just had a thought, you haven't met all my kiddos yet. Well it's time you do!
Karma Jade is the apple of my eye. She is a 7 year old Rottweiler (Rottenweilers as I like to call them due to their stubbornness). Yes she looks menacing running at you at full speed but when she gets to you and sits pretty with a smile and a little glint in her big brown eyes that says "gotcha, now pet me, love me" your heart will melt. I've seen it happen. Most people fall instantly in love with her. She's a pushy broad so if you don't love her at first, she will eventually make you. She plays well with other dogs, loves kids especially my nephew. She is a doll. Very sweet and affectionate. Don't get me wrong, if someone were to threaten me she would act in an instant because it's in her training but she is trained only to subdue an assailant not to harm.
Most people think that the breed itself is a dangerous one but I chalk that up to ignorance. Knowledge is power and knowledge of this breed is crucial in both tapping into and taming their natural abilities. Rottweilers are extremely intelligent, too intelligent sometimes that they get into trouble but if trained properly they are the most loyal and loving family dogs. I have been blessed to have this beautiful girl in my life. (Yes I am aware that it sounds like a PSA, that's because it is! Raising awareness of high risk breeds is highly important to me. Remember, it's not the dog, it's how the dog is raised!)
She's got a devious spirit and likes to attack from her perch as you walk by but mostly she keeps to herself. I have always been in love with her bitchiness. She is kind of like the feline version of me and I find it refreshing.
Oscar de la Hoya is a pure bread American Bulldog. Often mistaken for a Pit Bull but he is not. We rescued him about three years ago from a shelter and he has been a wonderful brother to his furry family and companion for his humans.
He is a big sweet baby and loves to pretend he's a lap dog. He walks around with a "dee da dee" goofy look on his face and he isn't all that smart. We often call him "Gomer" or "Eyeore" because yes he is THAT dopey. His cuteness makes up for it though.
Oscar has abandonment issues and hates to be alone. All this aside his only major drawback is his tail. It goes a little crazy and leaves big bruises wherever it manages to strike.
(Another PSA - If at all possible, rescue a dog! They need love too and if you don't who will? The change needs to start with you. If you feel you must have a puppy, because yes I know, sometimes puppies are necessary, please spay or neuter.)
This brings us to the baby and most needy of the four. PunkAss. Believe me he lives up to his name. He is just over a year and a half old and is constantly on my heels and into things he should not be into. I cannot count the number of times I have come home and found him locked in a cabinet or a closet because he snuck in and couldn't get himself out. He is very vocal and talks all the time. Most of it is just kitty gibberish but I can differentiate between his ramblings and his "Mom feed me!!" scream. He is definitely the baby and gets away with more than he should.
There they are. My babies. I hope you find them as cute as I do. I will keep u updated on the Oscar status. Have a great day!!!
