    This is Sweetpea in her muscle shirt! She came to me via a pitbull rescue in Eugene, OR.

    What a cutie.

    Are pit bulls ears normally docked and hers aren't, or did she just get extra acreage?

    I think in general there's a move away from docking dog's ears. Maybe more so with pit pulls so they don't look like fighting dogs, as those poor dogs do get their ears butchered off ("docked" would be surgical, by a licensed Vet). Seems like European kennel clubs aren't allowing docked ears if you want to show your dog.

    Those big ears are the better to hear you with!

    she's not 100% pit..there's boston terrier or maybe french bulldog in there, too. God knows what else. She's fairly small and very wiggly. Yes her ears are super-sized!

    Margo, she's beautiful! Wiggly is a good description, I bet. Kindof Piggly Wiggly (a grocery store chain of days gone by down here).

    I considered a rescue Pit bull mix because there are so many around here (Michael Vick's included). But my homeowners insurance would have gone up alot, and so I went with a less-maligned model. Most of the pits I see have floppy ears.

    I have a newfound appreciation for dogs with wild ears.

    Hi Tulip,

    Yes, wild ears are the best! As are rescues! I volunteer at an animal sanctuary here (horses, dogs, and...poultry!), and the woman who runs it spent a lot of time with Michael Vick's dogs at Best Friends in Utah (where a lot of them were sent to spend the rest of their doggie days). Wow what a sad, sad story. In Denver where my family lives thousands and thousands of pitbulls were euthanized as a result of the pitbull ban passed within the city limits a couple of years back. It is a tough issue to make sense of when you love them and see how they are too often treated.

    I am not trying to get into a debate about whether all pitbulls are 100% safe--that is a complex issue--but so many are yet are treated like lethal weapons.

    Rant over. I love my sweetpea.

    Looks more like French Bulldog mixed in than Boston (shape of ears and the fact that she's solid white), but whatever she is, she's beautiful!
