Per the request of a viewer of this site (I’m surprised there are any), I’ve posted a video. Watch for more Dolce versus the Lawnmower meetups. (I’ll try to spruce up the next one with some music or slick editing…maybe)
Background: One day while mowing my postage-stamp-sized lawn, Dolce began attacking the lawnmower. I didn’t encourage it, but didn’t strongly discourage it either. Soon, she began attacking it even when I wasn’t using it. Within a week, both tires were chewed off, making it much less usable. I’m unsure as to what’s going on here; does she think it is alive? Or is she just playing with it like a toy? Though she’ll play with it sometimes by herself, she really gets excited when I push it around. (She has a thing for the weedwacker, as well; for obvious safety reasons, I lock her in the house when I use that).
We recently added a new foster dog to our household. Meet Felene! She’s an adorable red nose American Pit Bull Terrier. Like Dolce, she loves people and is good with other dogs, but is more mature and more of a cuddle-bunny than Dolce. Then again, Dolce is about seven months old and Felene is probably between 1.5 and 2 years.
She’s fine with Trillium, and Dolce seems to be delighted to have an in-house dog-buddy.
I suppose it’s about time to introduce our new puppy Dolce. Since losing Poncho, we’d been volunteering for Pit Bull Rescue San Diego. We started out fostering an incredibly sweet American Bulldog named Bianca. We had her for about a month before finding a fantastic home for her. Dolce was to be our second foster, but after having her a few days we decided to keep her. She was almost five months when we got her. I’m not sure if she’s the same mix as Poncho; I think she could be part English Mastiff…definitely some kind of bully-breed (aka Molosser) in there.
