Pair of Pits OR Pair of Fish?

Hello doggy world!!! Hope everyone is doing great!! Sorry we've been away so much lately. Computer failure has been slowing us down but Motley said we have to post!!! He also wanted me to let all his pit bull friends know he now has a twitter account and would love to hear from everyone there as well as this blog. You will be able to find Motley at @MotleysJourney where we will update a little bit more often about day to day pit bull activities.

But moving on to more interesting pit bull news, Motley had a hot date with Moca-Chino at the beach today!!! It was actually the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach but a hot pit bull date none the less. Ha

They were so excited to see each other since it had been a week or two of separation because of Moca getting fixed. They were real anxious to rekindle there bond!! HaHa

After a nice little stroll through the woods side by side we finally made it to the beach where they could unleash all that pent up pit bull energy. If you're a pit bull owner you know exactly what I'm talking about and you have to enjoy getting it out of them!




As usual, Motley was real hesitant about getting in the water at first but once Moca was in he had no choice but to follow. What fun is it sitting on the beach when your girlfriend is out having a blast in the water??








After a ton of pit bull swimming and more hiking, we finally made it back to the car to head back home. I can honestly tell you, our pit bulls had no interest in leaving. They moaned and groaned the entire car ride back. Poor Pups!!!

Athough they had a blast, like I said before its always nice to come home with a tired pit bull. We got back to the house and all Motley and Moca wanted to do was snuggle up and sleep. What a GREAT pit bull fun day!!

We'd love to hear about yalls great pit bull and doggy adventures!! Comment us and let us know what fun yall are having now that the weather is warming up. Can't wait to hear your interesting stories!!

Pit Bull Exercise

HEY GUY'S!!!! Hope everyone is doing quite nice now that the weather is finally starting to warm up!! Luckily for my pit bull Motley, I had the day off so we got the opportunity to bask out in the sun and play some games. Can you tell Motley was ready to play? Ha


Once we got outside, Motley went straight for the tennis ball. I guess that mean't fetch was his game of choice for the time being. It was fine with me though, I got to sit around while he emptied his pit bull gas take.




After awhile though, Motley lost most of his interest in the tennis ball. He's never really been a real good fetcher anyway(just saying).



I would consider Motley more of a pitbull soccer dog if you ask me. Rather than fetch or use his mouth to pick up th ball hed rather kick it. Check out this quick little video!!



After about and hour and a half Motley was finally ready to head back in and quinch his thirst and hunger. How could you ever be mad at a face like that? What a worn out pup!


Just like every human I know, what do you think he did after he had his lunch and a hardy play date? Yep, you are correct!!! IT'S NAP TIME!!! He laid down and it wasn't too much longer before he was on the couch snoring. Motley even managed to sneak his way into a blacket.



I hope all of our pit bull, dog, cat, and other animal friends have all been able to enjoy the beautiful weather!!! We'd love to hear how everyones been doing since we havent been able to update recently so drop us a few comments. Motley always enjoys meeting new friends!!

Pit Bull's Lead The Way

Hey everyone!! I hope everyone and their pups are doing great!! Motley has been rushing me to post pics of one of our adventures so I told him today was the day.

It had been a good while since my pit bull and I had gotten the chance to take a nice hike because of the weather, so we had found a warm day and got our friends Moca and Andy to join us at First Landing State Park. To get your imagination going, the 6 mile hike travels through nice forested areas and along side the Chesapeake Bay at times. It's a great place to take the dogs to walk or run and even toss the ball in the water to get a refreshing swim. It is also a great place for the dogs to interact with other dogs and people that also travel along the trails. Just in case your in the area and would like to check it out!

Motley and Moca led the way on the start of our journey as always. Haha They always think they are in charge and know their way around anything. I guess that's a pit bull for ya. Ha


For awhile Andy and I just tossed sticks for them to fetch and bring back to us as we continued our way through the forest. It definitely passed the time a bit.

Moca and Motley enjoyed it a lot too, in between chasing squirrels and other little animals. Here's a picture of my pit bull Motley rushing back to the trail after chasing a squirrel up into the trees. I guess he wasn't quick enough.


Once you travel about 3 or 4 miles into the trail you start hearing the sounds of water rushing ashore from the Chesapeake Bay. We hopped of the trail for a little bit and had the dogs walk across a fallen tree like a bridge, then we followed and discovered a shortcut to the water. It was like we had our own personal little beach. Us and the pit bulls. It was a nice little discovery so the dogs could play in the water without disturbing anyone. This is also when Motley ASTONISHED me!

Little background again, Motley has always hated the water. He has had some bad experiences with me trying to get him to swim and him thoroughly hating it. This time was different though. We threw a stick in for Moca to get because she loves the water a low and behold, Motley followed her right in. He even got the stick before her a couple times which NEVER happens. I was a proud Dad!! It was one of those "Awe, My little boy is growing up" kind of moments.



Andy and Moca and Motley and I had an awesome time and were totally pooped when we got home from the hike. Both Motley and Moca had actually fallen asleep on the car ride home because they were so tired. It was a fun 2 to 3 hour little hike if anyone is in the Virginia Beach, Virginia area and wants to check it out. I would suggest it to anyone and Motley gives is 4 PAWS UP!!!

Hope yall enjoy the pictures!!! Thanks for checking out Motley's blog and we hope to hear and see from you all again!! Motley loves meeting new friends so follow us and stayed tuned for more adventures!!

My Pit Bull's a G

Hey guys!! I hope everyone is doing great now that we have one month of 2011 down and moved passed us! Motley has been mad at me because my computer has been messed up so he hasn't really had a voice lately. Hopefully the computer situation if fixed shortly and we will be back on a regular basis about our journeys because there have been a few to start off the new year!! I will post pics of some of our hikes and Motleys first time swimming!!(willingly that is) He's always hated the water so that was a huge pit bull achievement for him. Those pictures will come in the future but for now, here is a few pics of my pit bull and me messing around for the camera to pass the time.







Doesn't he look so enthusiastic for the camera??  HaHa
Hope yall enjoyed the pics and please leave comments!! What should Motley get dressed up like next?? HaHa
