Water sports...

After pitching practice (see videos in previous post) it was time to clean up in the kitchen sink.
 

 
 

Here's a picture of Fender trying to give a peppermint to two of the three dogs mom brought with her for her visit. Yes, they are all American Pit Bulls and all the epitome of the true bully breed characteristics. In case there are any of you who still actually believe the bad rap they get of having a bad nature, it couldn't be more opposite. They are incredibly good natured, and love people to a fault...which actually makes them bad guard dogs because they want to love on everyone they see. (Unless they get a bad owner who wants to train them to be possessive and mean tempered, they just won't be that way naturally....and I am not making this up.)

Their strength, and patience make them perfect with children of all ages. Just this weekend I caught Fender playing in their food bowl with two of the dogs trying to eat at the same time. They all share their food with each other and were happy to share with Fender too. These dogs have actually let kids pull their ears, bite them, pull their tails, sit on them, etc etc and they don't even seem to care. No other dog I've ever had would let anyone do any of that stuff to them...mind you, I hope Fender doesn't ever do any of that to any animal "We like to pet animals softly and sweetly." :)

Anyway, the two pups (well, 2 year old adolescents) you see here are actually two sisters of our dog (Sebastian). The fourth dog we had is the mom of all three, who actually had a litter of 10. I'll try to take a good picture of all of them with Fender, but it is hard (okay...probably impossible) to get them all together for a posed picture.
