And I'm glad I haven't let them "play" because Tuesday morning I am letting H&H out to potty and DAISY was out there with her owners and they were like, "Yeah, we had to buy someone a new dog yesterday. It kept taunting Daisy and she chewed through the chain link fence and killed it."  They were acting like it was the DACHSHUND's FAULT!  I am keeping H&H as far away from their dog as possible.
And I know there are some really sweet pit bulls out there. But this one is obviously not one of them. |
OMG I have a little mini Dachshund...this just breaks my heart!!! That is so sad!!
I swear I am a TOTAL dog lover...but these Pits, all you hear are horror stories. And the owners ALWAYS think they are fine, until they snap. It is just instinct in these dogs - the owners think they can control it, and they can't. OF COURSE you think they are sweethearts that wouldn't hurt a fly...probably because nothing has ever happened yet - but that doesn't mean that it isn't going to.
My brother had THREE of these things in his backyard (BIG ones) and we ALL warned him about having 3 of these types of dogs in his backyard because he had a (then) 4 year old step daughter at home (she is older now)...he always just laughed at us and shrugged us off and said, "They are fine - they love kids, they are playful, and we raised them since they were puppies so they are harmless" blah blah blah...he ended up getting rid of all 3 of the because they bit his step daughter. Surprise, surprise.
