Krystal the Friendly Lion

This is Krystal; she is a 4 yr old, blue eyed pit. She was a stray that we took in at 3 months of age.

Krystal is the sweetest natured dog I have ever known. She has never met a person or animal she doesn't like, she even shares her dinner with her kitty cat.

And she is incredibly smart, She rings a bell to go outside, shells her peanuts before eating them (naturally leaving the shells on the floor), and believes she is a 5 pound lap dog. I can't convince her she really weighs 75 pounds...

Krystal is a talker, not a barker. So she makes this arooooroo sound. To me it sounds like her attempt at a lion roar, so I made her a lion costume for Halloween, and when she has it on, she walks around making her little roaring sound as if she knows that's exactly what a lion should do.. LOL!!
