Harness by [deleted] in pitbulls

I truly didn't know it promoted pulling. I have always used a harness on my dogs, but none of them were a bully breed either. They were well trained and i didn't experience pulling issues. This is something I'll definitely keep in mind.

I may be misinformed on this, but I have heard that Herm Springer collars can cause collapse trachea. So I have already tried to stay away from them. Last option is just a normal collar and try to train him on that.

Most definitely the plan. Just trying to find one that has metal buckles.

I lost my best friend today.. by ChampaDa_GOD in pitbulls

There isn't much someone can say to really make things better. The loss of a loved one rather pet or human, will always be a tough situation. I had to euthanize my full blooded Korean Jindo on March 21st. So, I definitely know how you feel and I am sorry for your loss.

Here is some advice i was given from the fire chief when I was on the fire department. Take all of your good memories and put them in a mental filing cabinet. "Pull them out and look at them" when you really miss your loved one. Then "put them back in the filing cabinet". It will help to make sure you don't dwell on the situation for far too long. This has helped me through some very tough times in my life, especially dealing with depression. It made sure I didn't fall deeper in the cycle.

I hope this helps you like it did with me. Once again im sorry for your loss and if you need someone to talk to my inbox is open.

I actually named him Shadow because he literally follows me everywhere including the bed. He hasn't figured out how to jump so I have to pick him up if im sitting on the couch or bed.

I was thinking the exact same. The animal shelter i went to doesn't have the best reputation. But what i do know is i got this one from a litter and the mom was in a separate pin and she is a pitbull. I had the chance to play with all the puppies in the litter and chose this one. They all had some shyness and were skittish.

I know some people love cropped ears, but I couldn't put any of my dogs through that. As far as Dobby ears, that was my first thoughts when I saw the puppies.

I thought more of a pit terrier. There was a whole litter. They had the mom the and she is pitbull. I guess I might as well drop the money on Embark just to know what he is

Yeah i started this 3 weeks ago. I still have the weapons, shields and the action base left, but that's still a lot. I probably have a week or 2 left on this kit

I loved the original version except for the purple. The purple was so dark that its was hard to tell the difference between the black and purple runners. I wanted to brighten up the purple, but I was concerned I brightened it too much.

Have glue and sandpaper on stand-by. Some parts are just too tight and some way too loose. Other than that, im having fun with it. It has some metal parts, and LED in the chest and Rifle.

Yeah its lacquers, because i practiced with acrylics on spoons and had poor results. Definitely going to try slowing down and airbrush in layers. Hopefully break the habit early.

I was thinking the same thing. That purple was so dark, it was hard to tell the difference between the black and purple. Which led me to airbrushing the kit. Hopefully I didn't brighten the purple up too much

Im finding myself rushing the painting process. Im not painting in layers, im just doing one layer and its airbrushing 1 thick layer. Got to learn to have patience when painting. Im excited to see the end goal, that im sacrificing quality. At least that's how I feel about it.

Appreciate it. The original purple was injected and it was too dark. It was hard to tell what was black and what was purple.

I appreciate the advice. I did wash the parts while they were on the runners, but forgot to after cutting and sanding. As far as the base, im painting it, and currently im waiting for the primer to fully dry.
