Here is my sweet baby boy Duke!  I rescued him a year ago and he's been through a lot in his short 3 years.  He's definitely a trooper and a spoiled one at that!  Mommy loves him with all her heart!

You have pictures up of dogs that belong to my mother and sister (Lori and Brandi Lowrie; Roper and Tiki) well these are some pictures of my puppy Bentley. He enjoys taking baths, SHOES of all types, sleeping upside down and playing basketball! He's an 8 week old Shih tzu and the sweetest thing ever :)

My Name is Mike Kipfer, and I know Katie and her dog Capone, he is truly a gentle dog, and if people have never owned a pitty they have no idea what a wonderful breed they are, so eager to please and train, it is TRULY the humans that do not know how to handle pits that give them a bad name. Here are a few pictures of my best friend, unfortunately he chased a rabbit and got hit by a car, but he was the smartest sweetest dog ever. If anyone knows of a male pit bull pup that needs a good home and a big yard and plenty of love, post on I-Town I will respond.

Thanks for reading.


Hello my name is Katie Mohr. I own a 1 year old male American Pit bull Terrier. Im not sure if you accept pictures of these types of dogs but Im here to tell you they are amazing creatures. Capone is the most gentle animal. Im sure you have heard pits are aggressive but I honestly believe its how they are raised. Capone sleeps with my fiance and I, eats from our hands, allows our 3 year old neighbor to ride him like a horse. Our 3 month old female pit eats him up and he lets her. We have lived with a 64 year old man(fiances grandfather) and he absolutely loved Capone. We now live in my grandmother and she thoroughly enjoys having him in her home. Im not sure how this thing works with getting your pets put on polkcountytoday but I really want to let people know how sweet these animals are. If you reply to this I will try and send you some better pictures of him with kids and elderly and well... random people around town. I introduce him to everyone and he looooovvveeesss to meet new people. He enjoys watching tv, listening to the radio, walking at the park, playing tug-of-war with Dottie, fetching, learning( he is amazingly intelligent :D)
 
Thank you for your time,
Kathleen Mohr

Mixi Turns 2!
Mixi turned 2 years old on December 19, 2010.  A small celebration was held at her house with Lucy, Bubbles, Trixie, Roxy, and Pokey in attendance.  Each dog had a generous portion of birthday cake and Mixi enjoyed her gifts that she shared with party attendees.  2 years old....Let's see, that's 14 in dog years.  Happy Birthday Mixi!
Bubbles tries to get a close up view (and smell) of Mixi's birthday cake.
Mixi got the first piece as Lucy looks on...(all the dogs got cake).
This is Happy Jack. And what makes Jack happy is to menace every squirrel within eyeshot (and that could be 2 blocks) and as you can see by the picture,that he is so proudly posing, occasionally he bring us a hunting trophy. He is the joy of our(BK Helms and Teresa Clemons) lives and the nightmare of all the squirrels in Pointblank!
