Those poor dogs are at the mercy of their owners!<BR/><BR/>Em: I read your post about poor Roscoe - who is SUCH a cutie! People are just so ignorant sometimes. I'm glad you gave them a piece of your mind!<BR/><BR/>May: Yeah, I admit it. I'm a softie when it comes to the furries. And absolutely, I think there are no bad kids, only bad parents...AND no bad employees, only bad managers!<BR/><BR/>Furtheron:LOL "most soft dog..." for some reason, that sounds funny to me! perhaps it's cuz I hear it in a British accent...like how I read all of your comments. Heh Heh.<BR/><BR/>Dee: Yeah, the ban multiplies the fear. I wasn't scared of pit bulls, until I heard all this nonsense on the news and the radio. It's almost like I felt like I SHOULD be afraid or something...<BR/><BR/>Sally: Yeah, Bailey was really sweet too. I guess a pit bull would definitely be good protection too!<BR/><BR/>David: So true - it's the whole nature vs nurture thing again...and I mean really, if we applied this ban to humans, it would basically be genocide or ethnic cleansing.

And in most cases it's how you're raised and brought up that determines what kind of person you'll be. Of course, there are those that will defy their upbringing no matter what, but thats why we gotta keep on trying, instead of just giving up on them and having them run loose, terrifying all those around them, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1148769478092633122006-05-27T18:37:00.000-04:002006-05-27T18:37:00.000-04:00My sister owns a pit bull, and while he's protecti...My sister owns a pit bull, and while he's protective of her, he's one of the sweetest dogs ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1148676048773529242006-05-26T16:40:00.000-04:002006-05-26T16:40:00.000-04:00I totally agree with you shellz. it's about respon...I totally agree with you shellz. it's about responsible dog ownership. the ban only multiplies this fear. a good friend of mine is a pit own and trainer (www.goodhabitsinc.com) and she's trying hard to fight the ban. her dog Jael is the sweetest girl b/c of her excellent training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1148628950127756912006-05-26T03:35:00.000-04:002006-05-26T03:35:00.000-04:00I agree with you.

Another friend has a Bull Mastif and I know from personal experience as a guard dog the thing is useless. Both these owners though are people who care deeply about their pets and treat them with love and kindness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1148580749311112872006-05-25T14:12:00.000-04:002006-05-25T14:12:00.000-04:00Awww he sounds really cute. ou have such a soft sp...Awww he sounds really cute. ou have such a soft spot for little furry creatures! <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, was just wondering, does that same saying apply to kids as well....there are no bad kids, just bad parents??? just food for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1148579139841385552006-05-25T13:45:00.000-04:002006-05-25T13:45:00.000-04:00I absolutely and completely agree and I hate the f...I absolutely and completely agree and I hate the fact that irresponsible owners have given entire breeds of dogs a bad rap. It makes me SOOOOOO MAD. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRARRRRRGH. Hard to police I know, but stiff sentencing, mandatory licensing and training classes for the owners, and even putting into place fines for non-registered breeding of large "aggressive" breeds...all these things would help. <BR/><BR/>As mom to a 100lb+ Rottweiler, I've been on the receiving end of so much ignorance, you would hardly believe it. The one thing I cannot stand are people who buy toy breeds or "friendly" breeds, and then think that they are absolved from training or responsibility because they have dogs that are inherently "good". What is that all about? <BR/><BR/>One of my experiences here - http://emob.blogspot.com/2005/05/bite-my-ass-and-ill-take-piece-out-of.html<BR/><BR/>I'm really you got to know Bailey Shellz.

Sweet, loving dogs. . . they just happen to have the equipment to be more dangerous than other dogs that are badly trained by mean-spirited owners.<BR/><BR/>Again, why are we so soft on the criminal, making all sorts of excuses for them? If pet owners had stiff sentencing for their dogs wounding other people, maybe there would be fewer violent dogs?!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
