Deebo

Deebo Dog is my son's pit bull. I love this dog! Deebo is more like Scooby Doo than a killer dog. He has lived with us for over a year and half--3/4 of his life. He shares the house with ZsaZsa, my chihuahua. Therefore, Deebo thinks he is just like her...small and dainty. He is not either of these things. Deebo weighs at least 85-90 pounds.

Deebo gets so excited when I come home in the evenings. He almost knocks me over running up to greet me. He will stand on his back legs, putting his front paws in the air for he to grab and "dance" with him. He jumps on the back of the sofa (just like ZsaZsa), puts his left paw in the air for a High Five. He will sit on the floor at my feet and extend his paw for me to shake with him. Yes, Deebo is very animated!

Want to see him run in a circle? Mention the word "cookie" or "squirrel" and he gets in a frenzy! Throw his toy bone or rope across the room and he will run to grab it and bring it to you to play. I love to watch him play!

I know there is a lot of bad press about pit bulls. I believe that there are bad dogs in the world. I believe that pit bulls are dangerous dogs. But, I do NOT believe that all pit bulls are dangerous. That is why I get so upset at all the stories that go around about how pit bulls attack innocent people. I can't help but wonder two things: how was the dog raised and how was the dog treated?

I love my Deebo Dog and he loves his Grandma!

By the way, this is the beginning of the Thanksgiving Break! WooHoo!!!
