Well, its been going good. I keep dry puppy food out all the time and Gracy and DeeDee can even eat out of the same bowl. She put on some nice weight and her back legs are filling out a little. She kinda looks like she's gonna be a mini-pit. Not a lot of demand for stunted pit-bulls I would imagine. I fed a lot of eggs and hotdogs at first but have tapered that off as she is looking much better. I keep telling myself she could still grow but so far she is only filling out and her head and jaws remain small and delicate looking for a pit. We are working on her being calm outside and not coming inside yet. She went after the cat one too many times. She tries to get inside, but when she does she runs and checks every place one might have left a morsel of food, jumping up on things to do so. Eventually I'll work on her indoor manners but for now I go sit with her in the heat. She is learning we don't like mouthy pits and she is attempting to nibble on hands less. She doesn't bite, but she likes to hold your hand in her mouth. That's what I mean when I say mouthy. Its not aggressive on her part but people tend to be harder on pits about it. Frankly it can freak people out when a pit tries to hold their hand between her teeth. So I am working on eliminating the behavior.
