    He just looked at me and said, "Oh, I'm sure I'm going to. I'm sure he's going to be adorable. But, stop it.

    I think your BF is starting to crack under the pressure.  [sm=lol.gif]

    I hope so, Janet!

    He honestly LOVES Ella. He babies her like mad, but he believes that when you add another dog into the picture, the dynamics change COMPLETELY and he thinks Ella is SUCH a GREAT dog, but he fears having another dog here might bring out...some bad behaviors.
    But then I just tell him, "hey, if you were the proper pack leader..."
    ha!

    For one thing, I HIGHLY doubt Ella is going to...be a good girl and get along. But we'll see! She might smell "boy dog" and be OK with him.

    I just wanted to say he is really, REALLY cute - and he sure looks like he's got personality!

    He's very handsome! By the looks of his skin in a few places, it seems like he has allergies. Of course I don't think that's too uncommon for Bully breeds- especially ones with white coloring. Rebecca I'll be thinking of you and hoping that he gets along with Ella and that your boyfriend will change his mind... [:)]


    He definitely has a sensitivity to plastic. That spot on his neck that looks like a gash was caused by the plastic buckle on his quick-release collar rubbing on his neck.  Other than that and the tear stains, he doesn't seem to have terrible allergies, not nearly as bad as my blue girl's!

    Rosco had some DA issues in the past and still can when the mood is right, but having other dogs in our house actually makes him less DA.

    When we took him to meet potential siblings he let us know who he liked and who he didn't. He saw Lexi, gave her a HUGE play bow, she bowed back and they have been playing every since. We've had Lexi for almost three years, and they have never had a fight (knocking on wood.)

    As an aside: DH and I were hoping for something small and about a year-old. Rosco picked the crack-head GSP mix who was 4 months-old with less than zero socialization, and now is 50 lbs. So sometimes the right dog for your pack is the one you least expect!

    Hope it all goes well! That bully grin is too cute!

    Thanks for the nice comments about Tyson, everyone. Can you believe that someone would leave him outside on a chain 24x7 and then just give him away because they didn't feel like dealing with him anymore?? I can't wait to find him his forever home where he will be loved and cherished forever!

    I'd like to call the Tyson Fan Club meeting to order.  I have to keep coming back to this thread to see that HANDSOME boy.
     
    If, for some reason, Rebecca can't take him home, you have to promise us to keep us in Tyson pictures until he finds his forever home.  Maybe you can even put in his adoption agrreement that we have to be kept in his pictures??  :o)
     
    As far as his tears go, I've also heard that buttermilk powder in their food can help with the staining from them as well as staining from licking feet.

    Here are a few pictures of Tyson that I just took about an hour ago :D

    Looking like he did something wrong!








    Giving me kisses


    He's a little bit of a doofus :)

    OMG, he is SOOO cute.

    What do you think he is mixed with?

    I have no idea! His fur is so much longer than Bella's and Remy's - it's almost Lab-like, but I don't see any Lab in him at all. If it weren't for his long fur, I would guess that he is an APBT/AB or APBT/Boxer mix.

    Awww!!

    Think POSITIVE thoughts... of COURSE Ella and Tyson are going to get along, silly! [:D]

    He's sooo handsome, I'm sure it'll all work out! and Welcome Leann! [:)]
