I have a pit/lab mix and she is smart, loyal, beautiful and full of energy at 10+ years old!  I rescued her from the pound and she’s the best thing that has ever happened to me 🙂  Sometimes she gets into a scuffle with her BFF, a weiner, but she turns her head and bark to the side.  Even the weiner’s mom isn’t concerned because we know she would never hurt him or anyone else. 

They are incredible intelligent!  My dog saw me get food from the fridge and one day I came home from work and she had opened the fridge and took out a tupperware full of shredded chicken and ate it.  Now I keep a babylock on it.  She has opened cabinets, tupperware, the fridge all in the pursuit of a snack — LOL!!!  I love her anyways!
