Knocked out by my Pit Bull.

[Tom@Cr1-Software]

Ok, not flight sim related.. the kid next door comes over the fence and starts playing with my 8 month old Pit bull boxer dog, Cinnamon. So in a demonstration of great intellectual prowess he head butts my Pit bull, next thing I know the kid ( 17 years old) is laying on the ground almost knocked out, my pit bull on the other hand looks at me with a bewildered look as if to say .. Wtf?!!!? I forgot to tell the kid that a pit bulls skull is around a inch and half thick... compared to his 1/4 inch think human skull...

I kinda found that a interesting break from the other mundane things of life...

Anyways back to flight sim...

They say that after a while a dog and his owner take on similar charateristics..........

Thanks for sharing the lighter side of Pit Bull interactions.

On a similar kind of thing....but dealing with Buffalo (American Bison) though. There was an old fella who lived down in Ross County, Ohio by the name of Bob Litter. He owned a number of large coal yards, owned a couple coal mines, some hardware stores and saw mills and such. And he had a really big farm. And on this farm, he raised Buffalo. Of of his female Buffs died giving birth to her baby. Bob bottle raised the young male Buff and it took to him like Bob was his momma. The Buff would follow Bob around like a pet dog. Bob would get down on his hands and knees and head butt with the Buffalo, teaching him how to be a Buffalo bull basically. All was well for a while, but as the Buff grew Bob started getting knocked out and started to have some serious damage done to the bones in his neck. His doctor told him, "Bob, one of these days you are going to go buttin with that bull and it will kill you." So, Bob stopped head butting with the Buff. It continued to follow him around like a puppy...and as it grew up, Bob got it used to him riding on it...and he would ride that Buffalo around his farm like most people would ride a horse.

That's pretty good - my aunt and uncle raised a piglet once that thought it was a dog - it was house-trained and would follow them around their home just like a dog. Uncle Gail was a pretty practical guy, though, and when the piglet turned into a porker it went outside, although it eventually came back inside - on the table. My aunt couldn't do it but my uncle had no qualms. I never saw this and had to take dad's word for it.

I've head/knee collisions with our Pit Bull's head before. The last time I had to visit the doctor as a result. She also knocked out one of my lower FRONT teeth when we were playing "kissy face". That cost around $1,000 for a bridge; I refused to pay $4,000 for an implant.

We'll never, ever, never be without a Pit Bull, however. They are the most loving, wonderful, sweetest dogs in the world. At we think ours is.
