Hey Chet.... thanks for the welcome. Again, this particular forum is running slow, almost 45 seconds wait until I could read your response. The Whites Forum on the other hand seems to be running much faster and nothing compares to Coinist's forum for speed.

As far as my limited input into the forums, The Primary Work 20 has been working my U-Know-What off with OT, but even more so, speaking of PERFORMANCE, I'm a father again... but it's not what you think, I'm talking "adoption". After my wife, Jenzilla, refused to let me by a second A.R.T. (American Rat Terrier), I let the issue drop for a couple of months and then as FATE has it.....

We have a NEW addition to our family, rescued off of the highway by my kid sister and mom, and brought directly to our home.... Female, About one year old, Muscular with a huge head, judging by her large teats...NO virgin. Anyway after the 30 day period of trying to find the owner(s) to no avail, "Mildred" is now a permanent member of my family, and enroute to the Vet for the ol spade job (keeps the license fee down).

Now if you think that assimilating an American Pit Bull Terrier Stray with the Existing Alpha Female American Rat Terrier was EASY, than you'll believe I found 200 RINGS in ONE day I'm NOT talking ring around collars in my closet.

Anyway my family named her Mildred (Millie The Mangler) and I have noticed the following characteristics...

1. EXTREMELY Agressive toward other canines, the first dog that walked past my Borg Van with Millie inside, Millie tore the inside door panels and took a couple of chunks out of the dash in ANGER.

2. Loves Beer (went nuts when I opened up a bottle of Moosehead during Christmas.

3. Sits and Begs Pretty (no having to teach her this)

4. Loves People (Adult or Child)... loves to be loved.

5. Loves to ride in vehicles and becomes VERY Protective and Destructive to the vehicle she is in consistant with her Anger Level and the height of hair on her neck and toward the tail.

6. Jumps like no tomorrow (she's got huge muscular thighs that rival the largest German Female Power Lifter.

7. Hates the Garden Hose (one night she was barking in the back yard and I called out to her to come back inside... when she chose to ignore me and bark, I walked over to the garden hose (one of my coffee budies uses the garden hose (water) to shut his pit bull-ridgeback mix up, and Millie immediately put her tail down and RAN inside our house.

8. Loves to be walked (even grabs her leash to let us know)

9. Heals relatively OK, work needed along with the prong training collar.

10. Bit of a disobedient streak when the collar and leash are taken off.

11. Won't stay in the kitchen family room area and JUMPS the gate we use to keep Holly the A.R.T. contained.

Note: One of my friends told me "I think you rescued a Ghetto Bi_tch from the 'Humane' Society.:

Anyway, lets get this forum turbo charged as my life span is far reduced from when I was 24, and so is my patience for slow forums.
