hey jay, what kind of dog is nicky...it has some kind of pitbull/terrier in it correct? i would trade my jack russell in for one of those dogs. saw a awesome one similar to yours at the video store last week..it was just a puppy, was like grayish/blue in color...would make a great addition to the family. does he shed alot?

Nicky is a pit and lab mix. She is about 4 1/2 now and is the biggest cuddle bear around, just loves kids. She doesn't shed alot, and her hair is so short you really can't tell when she does anyway.

Is that when you decided to start asking for forgiveness instead of permission?

Funny story. I was part of a big dog hunt in Kansas, 4 pits got loose, chased some kids across a field, killed one and seriously hurt another kid. We searched the woods for 3 days finding this pack of dogs. I swore I would never own one. When we bought our house, had a nice fenced yard and all my wife really wanted another dog, we had Dana when we were still in an apartment. It was almost Christmas and I took a ride to the Humane Society. Nicky and her brother were there in a kennel, shivering and cold and looking so cute. They said she was a red nose pit, which is obviously wrong since here nose is black! Anyhow, I couldn't leave without her. I did tell my wife though that I wouldn't have a dog I had to worry about with children, if she got aggressive I'd put her down. My 3yr old niece comes over and rides her around the house, they are attached at the hip. She is the same way with any other kids, she just loves children. The only problem is she doesn't like strange dogs, so I have to watch her with strange dogs. She really likes out guinea pig, she even gives her kisses!

i think the "asking foregiveness over permission" really started back in FEB '07 when i went out with the kids one sunday while my wife was at work and bought my 29gallon bio cube..hahahahahaha.....i sorta hinted around that i really wanted one but she thought i would get a small 8 gallon or something...she bout flipped when she walked in and saw the tank on its stand in the living room...OH BOY OH BOY!!!

274 lbs!!! Are you sure it wasn't a horse? My old neighbor had an english mastiff that weighed in at 220 lbs and it was a monster.

Fishhead, I think it's a swell motto! Nothing wrong with it at all!
