Riley (My son) had his very first Baseball practice on Weds night and we brought along Rocky (our dog). It was kind of funny to watch Rocky just spy on Riley the whole practice, at least what I thought was him watching Riley. I really think he was more interested in the actual Baseballs, he tends to like ripping through baseballs like the way most people would eat bread. So every time a ball would come by us, he would automatically dart for the ball. It was funny.

So, I was just standing there next to all the parents while the coach was just conversing with all of us. He then came up to me and asked if Rocky was a boxer, and I responded “Yep, well he’s a boxer mix actually”. The coach then responded “Oh, I love boxers, he a beautiful dog.” So after the coach commented on Rocky, another parent said the samething “He’s gorgeous”, and then she says to her kid “At least he’s not a Pitbull”. I was like “Um, actually he is a boxer pitbull mix o_O” She then looked at me like and said “Oh, well he seems so well behaved though”. No shit lady..lmao, anyways, it didn’t get me mad or anything, just think it’s funny that most people don’t get it. I then told her that I have to more Pit Mixes at home. She must of thought I was crazy or something. Well needless to say, her and her kids came up later on and pet Rocky and played with him a little bit. Hopefully that changed one person’s perception of Pitbulls and Pit Mixes.

Also, Riley did really well in his first practice, and he has one tonite too. I was a little worried because it’s his first year, and when I tried to play catch with him before he was really scared of the ball, everytime it went towards him he would look away and almost run. But he did really well and I am proud of him He definetly needs more practice (as you can see him missing the ball in the pic below), but I know he will pick it up pretty quick.
