Yea I have an .American .Pit .Bull and an .American .Bull .Dog.

My pit is solid black with a diamond on her chest and white socks so we named her "black girl"...Seemed to fit!! And my bull dog is "sugar" cuz she's sooo dopey and sweet (like many other bulldogs)

when I get my chip for my camera i'll be sure to post one with them on it along with my eyes and belly!!!

Ok this is gunna sound weird...But I love the smell of fresh dirt or freshly cut grass. My hubby and I were doing yard work over the weekend and wow it smelled grand. I have always hated the smell of cut grass...But not now.....

I love dill pickles but only the snackums (the tiny little ones) green olives and lots of oj and milk. I could eat pickles and olives all day long. I don't really crave sweets or snacks like chips/crackers. Oh and chicken. My husband says that if we have chicken another night that he will just die. He is tired of it.

I consume massive quantities of popsicles and ice. It's the middle of winter and like 10 degrees where I am and i'm running to the store buying popsicles and strawberry scooter crunch bars. I'm sitting outside on break eating them with gloves on. I'm a weirdo.

I've had lots of cravings for crab which usually means a trip to the fish store every saturday.

Oh, and bananas. I used to .H.A.T.E bananas and it's like now I can't get enough of them. And i've been murdering entire bowls of potatoes (fries, mashed, boiled, whatever) with apple cider vinegar (may not sound weird if you're not american but it definitely is if you are).

I think that's it...

I have always loved the smell of fresh cut grass--havent smelled it since this pregnancy--so I dont know if it is worse or not.

Oranges, like crazy--and oj (with nausea) and milk all day long--the chicken thing yes, to that too. Dill pickle chips--although chips and sweets hasnt been a problem for me, this pregnancy---i shore liked the dill pickle chips.


And indian fried bread---all day long. Anyone know what indian fried bread is??? And I have never drank so much water in all my life. Ever!!!

When I was pregnant, I used to love the smell of fresh mowed hay or alfalfa. I liked it before and still do but not like I did when I was preg.

Oh yeah....Oranges. I can't get enough of them lol.
I forgot about those. I wish I could say pickles and olives are a wierd craving for me, but I really liked those before I got pregnant. Mostly the the kosher dill pickle spears mmmm.
I am ready for the baby to drop any time now. I'm sooooo sick of heartburn, i've gone through lots of tums in the past couple months. I think once the baby drops, the heartburn goes away, or at least lets up....I hope anyways.
But with my luck she won't drop until i'm about ready to go into labor!

I love dill pickles, especially the chips. My mom loves sweet pickles (i don't like them so much) and said that she ate sweet pickle relish by the spoonful when she was pregnant with me.... And she still does. Lol

also, has anyone ever heard of pregnancy cravings carrying over to the child? My friend's mom, who hates Dr. Pepper, couldn't get enough of it when she was preggy with my friend. And Dr. Pepper is my friend's fave soda. Don't know if that's just an odd coincidence or something that happens sometimes.

hi sarah! I've been soooo busy at work, my office is being audited. It's been taking up all of my spare time...But I should be back on the boards like normal in another couple of weeks. Plus when I could check in there weren't too many topics that I was interested in replying to if you know what I mean.

****************************************** *******************

lalee, for your question I haven't heard of cravings carrying over but I do know that my mom ate corn like crazy while she was pregnant with me and I hate corn. Now she didn't eat any meat or salty things and those are my favorite things to eat...

****************************************** ******************

oh, yeah I forgot about the cravings for honey buns. I never liked them before either now I eat them like crazy.

Pics of Sugar And Baron (my Fiance)
Posted: 02-22-06 12:26pm

I found a couple of good pics of my .American .Bulldog (.Sugar) she's got a crystal blue eye and a brown one...Lol...She's a real goober...

I also have a pic. Of my fiance' and his .God .Child (.Jathan .Reese)

i'm trying to find a good one of my .Pit (.Black.Girl) but the only ones I think I have are when she's a pup....And of course i'm the one taking all of the pics. So I can't find one of me!!!!

It's good to see that other people own "bully breeds" and have babies cuz I swear if I hear that speach one more time about them being soooooo dangerous i'm gonna hurt somebody!! Apparently the people giving the speeches don't own and type of bully breed cuz they are the sweetest dogs I have ever owned....It truely is all about how you raise them!!

Sarah, I hear a lot of people talk poorly of those breeds as well. Tho I don't own one myself I know people who do and they are nothing but big ol' babies! It's all in how you raise them. I have a 15 month old chihuahua, and he's not an ankle biter, or a barker. The only time he will bark is when someone knocks on the door and even then he'll only bark like 2 times. He also loves everybody and kids. Everywhere I read they say they are a 1 person dog. Well, mine dog must not have read his manual correctly or something!

Lol....Does he shake a lot?? My father in law has a .Min .Pin and he is the cutest thing and loves when babies come around cuz they drop their food or just give it to him!! Lol....

People always tell me things about my dogs but as soon as they meet them they totally change their mind....I can't lie, before I got these dogs I probably would've thought the same thing...(that they'll turn on you)...But my dogs are so submissive that I wish they would bark!! Lol.....

Granted if a stranger approaches them from the other side of the fence...They will try to bite your face off...Only because they are protecting the yard...But the same people come in and are greeted by us through the front door and they get licked down!!!

They are totally people dogs!!

Thanks for your support...

Lol
no, he doesn't shake a lot. Only when he's cold or really really scared, which is not very often. He's not a typical tiny chihuahua that I wanted. He weighs 8lbs 6 oz. So I think that's pretty big for a chi. Tho now that I have him I wouldn't want a teeny tiny one because they are so small. Mine we can actually play with like without breaking him, and boy does he love to play. He's really smart also, he knew a few tricks when he was only 3 or 4 months old. He also loves to go "bye bye". Pick up the keys and that dog is ready to go. When I pick up my 10 y/o nephew from school he gets excited to see all the kids, but he will pick out my nephew from far away and oh my gosh does he bounce off the wall. It's weird how a dog can do that. At times I don't think he's all that smart because he'll chase his tail around until he's dizzy, then try to walk and he ends up falling. It's sooooooo funny to see tho lol. He keeps me entertained throughout the day since i'm not working at the moment. I sure hope he likes the baby when we bring her home. He's never seen a baby before...So it will be interesting. I know he won't be aggressive, but I don't want him to get too excited either. He doesn't jump up on the furniture either...So we should be ok.

It is not the dogs that are mean, it is the people that train them to make them mean, I had a pit-lab at one time for 15 yrs, he was a love bug, I now have a irish wolfhound(gentle giant) and a hound mix, looks moore like a tall beagle or a fox hound, those are my babies now.

Normally it's those big huge dogs that are suckers for kids! Seems like the bigger the dog, the more mellow and loving they are. Not that my brat isn't loving because he is, but i've seen tons of big dogs that are soooo good and gentle with kids.
Down the road my husband wants to get a siberian husky. Which is cool because he wasn't much into animals when I met him, now he couldn't live w/o the dog lol.
Does anyone think our pets can sense we are pregnant? I think they can, because when I have an "emotional" moment my dog will come over and put his face in my neck and cuddle. What do the rest of you think? Or am I just crazy?

Oh they def. Know....My .Pit used to dance with me and now she can;t cuz my huge belly's in the way...I call my belly the baby though so she can kind of get the hint... Whenever I cry my .Bulldog will lick my eyes no matter how hard I try to get her to stop!! I think she just likes the salt!! What a booger...My .Pit will actually lay on me and kind of moan...I know a lot of .Pits have this same moan that mine has...They are sooo gentle with .Baron's .Godchild...

It sounds crazy but we actually got a baby doll with the real life crying and we let it go on for about 45 minutes and say the owrd baby a lot...They are not allowed to touch or jump up on the little baby when i'm holing it....All in all they are awesome dogs and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world....Now I do also have a 13 year old poodle who is the coolest smartest dog i've ever encountered...She's a little cranky though at her old age. When a kid comes around..She'll quietly leave the room..She avoids them at all costs!!! It's hilarious...
