I have a pit named princess. When we first got her we wanted to name her lily but my dad wouldn't let me. She is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. When we first got her she was a stray and didn't want to be around anyone to much. We all had to learn to take it slow with her. The first thing I did was sit on the floor, now that might sound weird but for some reason every time I sit on the floor its easier for a dog to come over, sniff you and become more relax. After a few minutes she came and laid one my lap and we've been friends every since. Only bad thing is she is scared of people that are to tall, we don't know why but she has her issues.
