Beatrice is The Dog of the Day

Beatrice

It’s hard for me to pass by a dog and not give it kisses. Today I met Beatrice while she and her parents were having lunch at The Colony Cafe (a Love Thy Dog favorite BTW). Even though I know most pitbulls are sweet, I asked to make sure she was and indeed Beatrice was beyond sweet, she was pure Zen sweetness. Just the perfect combination of mellow and affectionate. She rolled over and showed me her belly and seemed somewhat disapointed when I had to go get my own lunch.
Beatrice was rescued from Palmdale from what was most likely not a great environment, but she thankfully doesn’t seem worse for the wear; while she’s extremely pensive, she doesn’t seem to have any edge to her at all. In fact her Daddy pointed out some scars on her head which I was expecting for him to say came from her dog fighting days, but rather they are the result of Beatrice getting beat up by their cat. Suck on that Pitbull haters!

Beatrice will soon be putting her Zen sweetness to good use as she is on her way to becoming a Canine Good Citizen. Having this certification, Beatrice can work as a therapy dog in hospitals schools and the like! Again, for all you pitbull haters, I challenge your dog to stand up to that test!

And one more thing, it was so cute to watch Beatrice’s family get ready to go. We were in a restaurant across the street from where they had parked. I could see that they had their car all tricked out to accomodate Beatrice. It’s a station wagon, seats down of course, equipped with one maybe two beds which they fluffed up for her, you know in case she might have a moment of discomfort! I love people who love their dogs!
