You should do it!!!! :lol:  :lol:   I had purple hair in college.  It was kowl!!

I had a purple streak in my hair in high school. I think my bf's afraid I'm going to paint everything purple, including our beloved pup.  :lol:

Just get the pup a purple collar or something then paint everything else purple.

Our boy kitty has a purple collar....I don't think he's any more thrilled than his daddy!  :lol:

when i was a kid, the next door neighbor kid thought it was funny to fire a cap gun at our boston terrier.

this dog was terrified of thunder.  he'd run and hide when he heard a plane go over head.

so, anyway, this kid just keeps firing the cap gun and laughing while the dog starts growling.  eventually the dog bites his hand.  bites him pretty good too.  not major damage or anything, but more than a scratch.

so, after that, our dog was on some sort of probation from animal control for nine weeks to see if he had to be put down.

Did the kid ever mess with your dog again??

the kid was basically a good guy.  he was just being stupid.

i'm sure he played with the dog on many occasions after that, though it's so far back i really can't remember.

yeah that is the boat my pooch is in.  Oh but I had a female kitty (Noona) and a female dog (Daisy) that both had purple collars.  I like purple too, just never had a car or bike of that color.

Purple bikes are the fastest.  :lol:

not when i'm riding them.

<----- Talon wears a purple collar.

A dog will react when it feels threatened. Parents should be held responsible for their children's actions.

I hope Otis is ok.

he actually looks real happy.  I go by and see him as much as possible but working two jobs I work pretty much every day from 9 to midnight, so that makes it hard.  Otis' problem is that he knows when someone is timid and he reacts to it, that is why i introduce people to him.  I talked to him today and told him not to bite any more, like he can understand but if he can i try.  I just don't want to have him put down which is what will happen if he bites again.  I left today real upset, luckily i brought the GF with me so she could drive cause i new i would get that way.  Anyway i will keep updating and hopefully he finds the RIGHT people.

Awwwww...I hope he finds the right people, too. My doggie is a weenie, but he'll react, too, if he thinks people are timid. For some reason, he finds timid people to be a bit threatening (as though if they aren't exhuberant lil cusses like he is, then there's something WRONG with them).

Keep visiting him, and I hope hope hope that the perfect new mommy/daddy comes along to adopt him...

how is he with kids he knows?  other dogs? inside or outside dog?  how big is he?  If he would get along with my kids, dog, and cats I may be interested in taking him in

Once he knows you he is a good dog, very smart.  He is hyper and will greet you like a hyper dog and being that he is about 40lbs he isn't small.  He loves other dogs and he was raise with cats so he get along with them great.  He will chase them if they run, but if your cats are like mine when they have had enough, the claws come out and one swipe to the nose and Otis gets the hint.  I kept him primarily inside untill i had a fenced in yard, then i would leave him outside when i was at work.  Other than that the ony other thing that can be slightly annoying is that when he is excited, whether it be to see you or scared he can lose control of his bladder.  He has gotten A LOT better about this as he has gotten a little older so I fully think he will outgrow it in time.  

All you have to do when you get home and let him out of the crate, he is smart enough to get in trouble if left inside alone (can open fridge), and tell him to go do the other and he will run right outside and do his buisness.

He just need to warm up to people, this I beleive has to do with the apt fire that took his Three kitty buddies, Carl, Lenny and Noona.  He missed them a lot and I think when the Firemen ripped them all out that tramatized him.

No doubt looking for the beer, if he's anything like my lushpooch.    :mrgreen:

:lol:  :lol:, actually he was looking for the ham he saw me put in there.  He hates beer for some reason, most dogs i know like it.  In the event of a spill he runs over, laps up a little then curls his nose up and walks away.  Guess he is more for the liquor    

Perhaps he's a champagne pup!  :lol:
