A Rescued Bully Named Quill

by Quill's Mommy
(Kentucky)

My baby is the biggest chicken until it becomes time to work. Quill was a rescued bully and has turned out to be an excellent buddy.

The most endearing thing about my baby is his sensitivity to people with handicaps. My niece was born 3 months prematurely and is a small little thing and isn't always the most stable on her feet.

Last year she came over to my house and was playing in the back yard. Our yard is hilly to say the least and every once in a while my big ole boy would get right in front of my niece. At first I thought he was just being a pain but after watching him, I realized that he was actually catching my niece when she tripped.

My sister and I were amazed. After playing in the yard, we all went trooping into the house and it was nap time for 2-legged and 4-legged alike. My pittie sat right outside of the room that my niece was "attempting" to take a nap in (she really wasn't having any of that and was making sure the whole block knew it too..lol).

I finally went in to tell her to hush and as soon as the door opened, my boy was in the room and on the bed right beside my niece and there was nothing I could do to convince him that he was going to leave her side.

About 10 mins later, my niece was sound asleep with her faithful friend at her side who didn't move until my niece woke up. It was the first time that my niece every slept anywhere besides her own house.
