Manny in the zen

Sorry I've been MIA for a while!

Guac-o-Manny!

Sunglasses

Sunglasses.. Can be worn in many ways. Including balanced on the nose. 

Avocado

Anyone in the mood for guac?

Homemade Weiner Cookies

Obviously make great nose decorations... (And they're tasty to eat!)

A Manny in Venice

I had a blast spending this past week at my grandma's house in Venice, Florida. The week was filled with time at the dog beach, finding a dog that looks just like me.. possibly a long lost sister named Annie (Annie and Manny- perfect combo!), and going to Myakka River State Park. Check out some pictures from my adventures!

Glasses

How do I look? 

Bag of Dog Treats

What's more impressive than balancing a dog treat on my nose? 

Balancing the whole bag.

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my gotcha day and my estimated birthday! I got a yummy birthday dog cookie that I shared with my brother, sister, aunt and uncle dogs. We spent the day in sunny Venice and Siesta Key exploring and getting lots of attention and pets when everyone found out it was my birthday! I even met a dog named Annie who was like my twin! Manny and Annie make a great pair :)

Hooked on Technology

We really need to lay off the technology a little bit.. It's starting to affect our social skills (in person) because humans are so addicted to their phones and social email. How about you take a break from your cellular device for a bit.. My nose makes the perfect resting spot :)

Happy Birthday to Me!

On Sunday my parents threw me a birthday party! Complete with pup-cakes, doggie friends, and even goodie bags! I'm around two years old now.. A big boy :) I had such a blast! Thanks to all my friends who came to celebrate! 

Strawberry Season

It's that time of year again... Strawberry season! 

I love me some strawberries ;) 

Where's the Chapstick?

My lips are dry.

Chip Clip

A new purpose for chip clips.. Nose decor :)

Remember to Have Good Dental Hygiene

Pitbulls sure know how to keep their teeth clean! Because of our willingness to please we are extremely cooperative with teeth brushing :)

Ca-nose-ing Along the Santa Fe

Yesterday I enjoyed an exciting adventure with my family, as we canoed down the Santa Fe River. Some people think pitbulls are unruly, wild and aggressive.. but tell me if that's the case, how come my brother Onyx and I (and our older sister Weiner) are relaxing and so well behaved on a boat? Would an aggressive animal be able to be contained and keep a boat balanced so well as we did? If we wanted to be jerks, we could have toppled the humans over, but we didn't :) Enjoy these fun pictures of us having a grand old time. We are very grateful that our humans bring all three of us on such fun adventures!

Bath Time

Forgot to post something yesterday.. But here's some pics so you can witness what bath time looks like in a pitbull household. 

Cute-cumber

Today's menu: 

A little cute-cumber a la nose 

Is Your Cup Half Full or Half Empty?

A little blooper to show my balancing doesn't always go as well as planned...

This cup didn't fit on my nose so we attempted to balance it on my head. It hung out for a little while and then just flew away.... 

What a Cool Pencil Sharpener

A Weiner shaped pencil sharpener. A perfect ornament for my nose. 

Nylabone Time

The only way a nylabone truly lasts as long as they say it should is when it's balancing on my nose :) once Onyx and I start chewing it it's a goner ;)

Green Beans

 

Canned green beans anyone? 

Gone Bananas

No big deal, just casually balancing a banana on my nose today. 

My Story

As an advocate for pitbulls, I want to change the negative views and ignorance of the general public against pitbull type dogs. Dogs like me face discrimination everywhere we go just because of our blocky head and muscular build. What people clearly miss are our loving eyes, our non-stop kisses, our incredible cuddling abilities, our loyal protection to our families, and our willingness to do absolutely anything to please. There are humans out there that take advantage of our devotion, and will put our loyalty to the most extreme tests by forcing us to fight against one another for money making businesses or train us to be aggressive for benefits only to the selfish owner, often through abuse and cruel practices. We are only dogs, and our willingness to do absolutely anything for our owners often turns around and is later used against us and creates a bad rap for our breed as a whole.
