Well, here's our "after playing" picture, and I couldn't be happier --

I often get emails from people saying Preccie is "too serious" or just "all business" --

-- well, yesterday, she and I got to running around the back acreage, and here's how he looked when we got back --

-- muddy!

Beyond the mud, look at how happy she is --

-- exhausted from the running, and happy to be alive -- !!

Precious is about 4-5 years old now -- I adopted her back in Spring 2003 --

-- she is a wonderful girl, and she is a pit bull --

-- she is the first real "pit bull" I had, and she taught me so much about the breed, and that I need to acknolwedge and adapt to her breed hard-wiring for her to thrive in our environment!

More on the pit bull temperament can be found here.

So here she is, happy as a queen, and doing lovely at home, I might add --

-- GREAT WORK, PRECIOUS!

PS - baths were given after these pictures -- !!

Last minute edit:

Here is Preccie in a cleaned-up shot --

-- and you say girls can't be regal? She certainly is here --

-- and, of course, she's back to all-business -- !!
