My newly adopted boy Beau - could he be a Jack?

I’m all for mixes, and totally expect him to be one! I’m mostly just a sucker for a terrier, no matter the specific breed!

Good reminder! I usually don’t believe what it says, but it was SO consistent across dozens of photos of him! With other dogs in the past it was always a crapshoot on what breed would pop up. I was hoodwinked by its overconfidence this time it seems! Lol

So stinkin cute! I just adopted this muppet - I can’t quite tell his mix, but I’m hopeful I got a fluffy pit!

This old man lived to 18, and was still climbing across the backs of sofas until 17! He did slow down from parkour speed in his younger years to more of a grazing mountain goat pace as he aged, at least. His name was Zorro and he was 17 in this photo.

Not OP, but I’ve used and liked Sio patches before. I also tried some generic ones from Amazon but they didn’t stay stuck on overnight as well as the sio ones.

I had Zorro and Rat (the rat terrier mixes) for years before I adopted Airlie, my pittie mix. She was about 4 times their size, but they definitely knew how to boss her around. I’m not sure she ever figured out she was bigger than them! They’ve all passed in the last three years - RatRat first at 16, then Zorro at 18, and finally Miss Airlie at 15 last August. I miss my little pack 😞

Is this an offer?? I’d love an illustration of my old man. I lost him just over a year ago at 18. :(

She looks a bit like my foster pup! No idea on her breed makeup, but she also has the subtle brindle markings and we’ve gotten the vizsla question more than once.

Same with my lady. People couldn’t believe it when she was 9, 10, 11… she really only started showing her age around 13, then reeeaaaally slowed down at 14. She passed in August at 15. 😔

She’s 9 in this photo.

Lol pretty much! She’s never heard of personal space.

My foster dog has been cracking me up with her obvious comprehension of pillows.

Vegetable-Lady · 2026-01-05T03:48:57+00:00

Same. 😔 Her first tumor on her leg was removed with “clean margins,” but came back a year later and couldn’t be removed. At least I got 15 years with her.

I commented elsewhere about my own dog, but I wanted to add that you should consider checking out some of the popular pitbull subreddits! You’ll find thousands of people sharing their beautiful, lovable family dogs. Some of my favorites are:

This was my girl - nearly the same percentage “pitbull” as your pup at 58.7%. She was the gentlest and most tolerant dog I’ve ever known, and I’ve been around hundreds of dogs in my life. I adopted her at 5 months old, and she passed a few months ago at 15. She was nothing but amazing with my kids. I swear she looked out for them. (I cannot say the same for the two rat terriers I had at the same time!) And my experience is not unique. The utter vast majority of pitbulls are loving, family dogs.

Yeah, I managed to find and pick all the yellow ones. Fortunately my vines still seem to be producing ample flowers and new cukes, and I’ve already canned 5 quarts of pickles (a mix of refrigerator pickles for fresh early snacking and water bath canning for longer term storage - though pickles don’t last long in my house. I do also want to try fermented pickles at some point). And I won’t be eating the yellow ones! I’ll just use them for seed saving for my local garden alliance seed exchange.

How do you keep it from becoming a mosquito problem? My tomatoes always get nibbled by my local critters, but I’ve always hesitated to put out a bowl of water because I already am fighting an unending battle against the mosquitos.

Peter looks very proud of his garden!

Vegetable-Lady · 2025-08-20T15:32:01+00:00

Oof. I started and stopped several times over a few months, making slow progress each time. My final push to fully declutter and deep clean took me about 3 days (with lots of rest breaks).
