Does anyone know of anyone else that wants a pitbull? Or wants one themselves? Hes a great dog. Listens great and isnt loud. He knows when its time to go in his cage and doesnt complain about it. Knows to go to the door and nose the door handle if need be so we hear when he was to go out. And he understands when he is bad that he has to spend time in his cage to think about what he did. I adore him actually but have to get rid of him. Hes 3 yrs old. Brindle and white. Not neutered yet. Pretty well taken care of. I have pics if anyone is interested.
Our landlord just made a surprise visit since she was in the neighborhood to use our bathroom and who else was there to greet her at the door with mass amounts of love other than Brutus himself. The conversation went something like this:
Oh, when did you get a dog?
About....
He can not stay. He needs to leave as soon as possible.
Im just...
Can I use your bathroom?
Great. Just fuckin great. Im having an awesome time with just about everything in life as of late. Ive been shunned by one person in particular that I dont think even I fully realized how much I cared for her until recently. I always thought I did and probably talked about it too soon. But, now I know how I feel. And I seemingly cant do anything about it. It seems to be common as a lot of people simply will not talk to me right now. LIke, 95% of the people I really care about. Its seriously affected me. I want to laugh and smile, really, I do. But its not there right now. If I could get that one friendship back, I think I would be good again. I keep trying and I keep failing. Cliches say its better to try and fail than to never know what wouldve happened. Im so sick of failing. I look back and really cant believe how good I felt when I had her as a friend. I smiled all the time when she was standing by me. All the time. I dont think I ever found the right words to convince her that it wasnt fake though. I never really knew what it was completely. Still dont. Its something though. Not really one thing that can be pinpointed and exploited. Its a lot of things. Everything. I am really sad right now.
Anyways, the dog.
A friend of mine was having a rough time a few weeks ago and asked if I would watch her dog for a day while her landlord had people over painting before she had to move out in a week. I took him to the shop with me and as I went back to her house later after work I saw a huge pile of trash on the lawn and the backyard was filled with furniture with her sitting on the step crying. After talking to her she told me the landlord just moved all of her stuff outside and didnt tell her. Apparently he already had tenants lined up for the first of the month and thought that she wasnt far enough along on moving so he packed everything for her and put it outside. I helped her organize some stuff and gave her two of my tarps I keep in my truck for the stuff that wouldnt fit in the garage and it was about to rain. I talked my roommate into letting me watch the dog for a few days until the person she talked to about taking him came back from New York. That was three weeks. I talked to her a few times that first week but since then she hasnt answered or returned any of my phone calls or texts. And that is a completely different girl than the one mentioned above just so ya know.
Thats what I get for trying to help someone out. So now the responsibility to find this dog a home falls on my shoulders.
Ive tried through the people that I know that are pit-friendly to find him a home but everyone I know already has one, if not two, of them and with the new laws everyone is so afraid it would be crazy to take on a third. I know if I take him to a pound he will probably be put to sleep so thats not even a factor. I need to get him into a good home where he will be taken care of. Hes not mean or aggressive. Ive never had a single problem with him. Ive taken him to the park/river with me and I havent had any problems with him there either. I know there are good pit bull owners out there so if any of you know of one or are one and want him, message me at hatfield.gordon@gmail.com. Not on here.
Edited to add: I have a hella small friends list and half of those probably dont read what I write so I (Brutus) needs help with getting this out there so please pimp the idea of finding this guy a home in your own blogs if you would please.

If I didn't live in Lorain, I'd consider taking the dog in, but I'd be afraid of him getting out. Lorain cops are known for taking the "shoot first, ask later" approach to loose pit bulls, whether they've got tags or not.
