They're really great dogs. Loyal, eager to please, extremely loving, and great with other dogs and people. They also make fantastic watch dogs.
We've had Ruby, the dark brown pit, since she was 5 1/2 weeks old. Chevy was a rescue that we've had for a couple of months. Pam, my girlfriend, is a vet tech. Her office had a call from the owner who wanted to put him to sleep. Her son found him starving in a factory and brought him home, but then moved out and couldn't take the dog. The mother didn't want him. We took him to foster him, but decided to keep him because he's such a great dog, and he and Ruby LOVE each other.
Living on a boat means its a little crowded and kinda messy at times, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Right now, I'm at work at Dutchman. I stopped at the local dog park this morning and took Chevy on a loop around the park. Right now, he's sleeping under my desk.
