Mia the Blue-Nose American Bully Pit

A day in the life with Mia the American Bully (Bully Pit) puppy. 1 year 4 months, 61 pounds, 18 1/2 inches from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders (the withers).

A blue nose American Bully Pit is sitting in patchy brown grass and she is looking forward with both of her ears perked up. There is a parking lot behind her.

1 1/2 Year Old (16 months old).

At the Office

A blue nose American Bully Pit, an American Pit Bull Terrier, a brown with black and white Boxer and a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier are sitting and standing behind a glass pane door.

The dogs get to come to work with me. I bring Leia(green collar) along the days Amie is at school so she does not have to spend the day alone.

A blue nose American Bully Pit, an American Pit Bull Terrier and a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier are sleeping on blankets under a table.

At work, the dogs sleep on blankets. I originally had dog beds for them, however Spencer the Pit Bull will not sleep on a dirty bed and washing a blanket was easier than washing a dog bed. So they get fluffy comforters washed weekly.

Bruno is under a different table taking a nap.

A blue nose American Bully Pit, an American Pit Bull Terrier, a brown with black and white Boxer and a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier are standing on a sidewalk with color coordinated leashes.

Outside the office the pack is ready to go for their morning walk. As usual Mia is the one who twists the leashes all up. She walks in front of Spencer and back around to the back wrapping it around his neck. Hold on girl while I untwist this mess. Ever since Mia was a puppy she was the dog least likely to stand still. At least now that she is full grown she can't weave underneath the other dogs.

Three people are talking in an office. A blue nose American Bully Pit and a brown with black brindle and white Boxer are walking up to some of the people.

The dogs love visiting with the humans that are in and out of the office.

They have a toy bin of elk horns to chew. The dogs help themselves to a chewy throughout the day and at the end of every day I have to walk around and gather them all up putting them back in the bin.

After a long day, time to go home. Even when Mia is tired she inches up in front, closests to the door.

The Beach in the Winter

A blue nose American Bully Pit, an American Pit Bull Terrier, a brown with black and white Boxer and a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier are running across snow and sand. There are three people walking around with the dogs.

The dogs love the beach in the winter. It's not too hot and they have more freedom to run and play since there's no one out there.

So many interesting smells...

We had to shovel out a path in order to get the dogs to the beach.

Puppy No-Nos

The stuffing from a dog bed is all over the bed and hardwood floor

Mia likes to carefully remove squeakers and stuffing. If she spots or sniffs out a hole she pushes her nose into it and pulls out the stuffing and or squeaker, whatever might be in there. In this case it was the dog bed. The bed had a small hole caused by the washing machine. Mia pushed her snout into it, making the hole larger and proceeded to pull out the stuffing.

A blue nose American Bully Pit is sitting on a dog bed and she is looking up. There is brown stuffing near a dog bed.

What? What did I do? I shoved the stuffing back in the hole and told her to leave it.

A blue nose American Bully Pit is laying in a dog bed next to a brown with black and white Boxer. There is dog bed stuffing and chewed up paper all over a dog bed in front of them.

The next day she did it again! Mimi! That was a bad girl! Don't look at me like that. It's not funny!

Mia got up, grabbed a clump of stuffing in her mouth and danced around me with it... wooo woooo

A mess of toy stuffing and chewed up paper surrounding three dog beds in a living room.

I had to toss the dog bed. She was having too much fun with it. She was not going to stop until every bit of stuffing was removed and she knew enough to not do it while I was in the room, so I had a hard time catching her.

Pack Crash

The backside of a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier that is sleeping on two dog beds. Next to it is, a blue nose American Bully Pit and American Pit Bull Terrier, they are also sleeping on dog beds.

All the Pits seem to like to hang together. Here they are taking naps on their dog beds. I cover the beds with towels and blankets the days they get bones from the butcher to keep the grease from getting all over the beds. Chewing bones is hard work. Naptime

Pack Shots

A blue nose American Bully Pit and a blue nose Pit Bull Terrier are sitting in grass on the left. There is an American Pit Bull Terrier and a brown with black brindle and white Boxer standing in grass on the right side. All of the dogs are connected to leashes that no one is holding.

Out on a walk before getting to the office

Four dogs are standing and sitting on a rug and looking up inside of a living room.

Waiting for their joint supplements. Once again the natural order shows itself. Mia, who has the alpha personality wiggles her way up front, the middle of the road dogs (Bruno the Boxer and Leia the green collared Pit Bull) don't try either way and Spencer (red collar) the back of the line dog purposely hangs back.

Two dogs are sitting on a hardwood floor and next to them are two standing dogs. They are all looking up and forward.

The table forces Spencer to stand up closer. Good boy, you get your treat first. Spencer as always been on the timid side. As a puppy he hung back in the cage with his littermates, and the day I brought him home he was afraid of non-carpeted floors. I had to work with him to build his confidence.
