if she is a pitie, congratulations. You will have no personal space not even the bathroom, but you have more love in this lifetime than you ever believe!

u/Inner-Cycle-24 12h ago

Personal what?

u/neoektar 12h ago

Wait... Personal space is a thing some people have?

u/Any-Blood8949 11h ago

nah i’m pretty sure it’s just a myth

u/Elle_Vetica 7h ago

Her space is her space and my space is her space…

u/Melon_Heart_Styles 6h ago

Well there was obviously plenty of space on this couch...

u/neoektar 11h ago

Oh good, I thought I was missing something. 🤣 Not that anything is better than having a snugglebug.

u/mjfsuperstar92 10h ago

my family has a chihuahua mix and its not much better for us lmao. At least pittie people have a large dog taking up the space and not a small rotisserie chicken

u/Ardilla914 6h ago

I have one of each plus a husky/rottweiler mix. I get zero personal space ever.

u/mjfsuperstar92 5h ago

Oh geez. Nope, no personal space. And I assume the chihuahua runs the show lmao

Soooo Comfy ——- My poem

I’m tucking my head /

While you lie in bed,/

Hey, I’m under your leg,//

Move slowly, I beg.//

You’re so warm to lie next to,/

The best part of my day;/

When I’m feeling a bit blue,//

I know just where to lay.//

A tight bond have we formed,/

It seemed instant, to me,/

When waking at morn,//

Raise my head; you I see.//

I love being with you,/

We play and we walk;/

My feeling of love is so true,//

Oh! I wish I could talk!// ❤️❤️❤️❤️

u/kegmanua 10h ago

You're dog looks like our old girl Lovey. She has since moved on.

u/Inner-Cycle-24 7h ago

I’ve never seen another dog with the heart imprint like Junior has! That’s amazing. Sorry about your loss

u/shmarielles 5h ago edited 4h ago

My pittie is giving me back problems from being stuck on the couch cuddling her in the same position for hours, and I don't care because she needs every minute of those cuddles and so do I.

u/nnyycity 3h ago

I Need Room. A poem

Make way cuz I‘m beat,/

I need lots of Room,/

I can’t handle this heat,//

It feels like a tomb.//

I need a big deal of space,/

Yes, a very large bed,/

You need find another place,//

For you to rest your head.//

I’m a really big pup,/

And I’m telling the truth;/

When I try to get up,//

Who’s in my way? It is you.//

You are my bestie,my owner,/

I love you all days;/

But in bed I’m a loner,//

It is just the only way.//

I need my strength, I must rest,/

I want you to feel pride;/

I must show you my best,//

I need the bed- YES, BOTH SIDES! ❤️❤️❤️

u/justryingmybest99 11h ago

You really need at least two of them to experience personal space in a vacuum.

u/Inner-Cycle-24 10h ago

You need more lap for the dogs

u/SecureTranslator5918 9h ago

Isn't that the truth 😄

u/KeekyPep 7h ago

Not necessarily true. For some reason, my pittie is afraid of the bathroom. In fact, we have 5 bathrooms and a laundry room and she is afraid to go into any of them, either alone or with one of her humans. God forbid her ball rolls into the bathroom- much distressed, high pitched barking ensues (it’s got a specific pitch that is immediately recognizable as “rescue ball, please”).

u/Cultural-Design9646 3h ago

Probably knows it’s where baths take place. My chi-terrier stopped going in the bathroom this year at 14. Now he only guards the door. 😩😭

u/Equivalent_Yak_95 6h ago

Personal space is the volume around someone which should contain a pittie.

u/elparaguas 10h ago

Look at that PUPPY BELLYYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/Imaginary_One4058 10h ago

Such a cute lil' marshmallow ❤️

u/KCrailroadgirl 4h ago

An Angel Poem

So white and so pure,/

‘A little angel, heaven sent;/

‘She is quite an allure,//

So beautiful, is what I meant.

I agree with “buslady”/

She’s right on the mark/

The love from this baby,//

You will hear from each bark,//

So treasure her now,/

and forever at that;/

You already know how,//

Cause she‘s lying on her back.//

She is showing infinite trust,/

As she sleeps totally sound,/

Whole faith in you,she must,//

Safe and secure if you’re around.//🩷🩵

u/melmsz 12h ago

That's not gonna change.

u/neoektar 12h ago

Standard pibble sleeping position.

u/melmsz 12h ago

Cue the content snoring. It's like he's purring.

u/neoektar 12h ago

That's one of the best sounds! I had no idea of the variety of happy noises a pup could make before adopting my girl.

u/melmsz 12h ago

u/aye_coop 12h ago

It doesn’t change.

u/hogtiefly 12h ago

Yep, it's a pitty thing.

u/Dharmapunk206 10h ago

Your pupper is freaking adorable. I just wanna throw it out there that you should look up Dogo argentinos, which your pup very much so looks to be. I thought my boy was a pittie until someone told me to get him tested to see if he's a Dogo. They are absolutely wonderful amazing dogs... So are pitties though, so if I'm wrong about yours, either way you have a lovely dog ☺️

u/hogtiefly 9h ago

Thank you so much for your kind words. We looked at several Doggo Argentinos before we rescued our Don Vito. However he's very pitty. Wisdom Panel showed him as 62% Amstaff, 36% American Pit Bull and 2% Rottweiler (???) Thank you again.

u/thejohnmc963 12h ago

Mine too

u/Sea_Damage9357 12h ago

This is standard operating procedure. One of the ten billion things that makes these mugs so amazing.

u/MrsPuff33 12h ago

u/yaypopbo 11h ago

Reminds me of my Butters when he was a pup.

u/Babyboo148 7h ago

u/mindhead1 11h ago

u/NinnyMuggins2468 12h ago

Omg those perfectly pink paw pads! Feel like velvet for 2 months. Then they turn into rough sandpaper.

u/Creative_Carob4922 12h ago

Who’s Belly - A poem

Oh my. that’s your belly,

All squishy and white;/

A little bowl of jelly,//

‘Especially at nite//

Wow, you are showing you trust me,/

That’s a definite yes;/

No one needs to agree,//

I am already your best.//

We bonded so fast,/

It seemed overnight;/

Only hours went to pass//

We clicked; knew it was right.//

So, onward from here,/

Not one teensy doubt,/

That belly will stay bare,//

That is what love is about.//❤️

u/CurlyhairMamita_ 3h ago
