Happy puppy!

Jaiden had a BLAST. When I went to pick him up, he was wagging his tail, and COVERED in mud--of course, the one day I take him in, it decides to rain... we haven't had a steady rain in months! Jaiden was one happy, tired dog. :)

I'm still traumatized about the fight that happened a few months ago. :( The one image that I think is the most disturbing to me (because it keeps popping into my head) is seeing Harley latch onto Jaiden's neck and watching him shake his head as though he were trying to kill his prey. Ugh. I've always been an advocate of Pit Bulls, but no more. What I saw in Harley that day--and what I had seen inklings of before, and stupidly ignored--was too disturbing. The kennel I took Jaiden had stipulations for boarding Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes. Apparently they've seen their share of aggressiveness and fights that involved Pit Bulls.

So anyway, that image keeps popping into my head, and I couldn't help but think it would happen again. Yeah, I know, I'm overprotective. If that fight hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't be worried in the least. But I guess he did pretty well. Apparently he has it out for Brittney Spaniels?? I have no idea what would have caused that, lol. I'm not entirely sure what he did, but I'm assuming he was somewhat aggressive towards them--THREE of them. Every other dog, he was fine with. Weirdo. I told them ahead of time that he plays rough, and I guess they put him with some dogs that won't put up with that, haha. Whenever Jaiden went too far, the dogs would lay into him, and he'd stop--which is exactly what he needs.

We got home, and I gave him a bath immediately. He slept most of the afternoon. ;)
