Bonus Friday Funny: Pay Attention!

Pay AttentionI thought I was the only one this happened to! Apparently, it is common.

After all of the bloodshed filling up our news broadcasts over the past couple of weeks, I thought we might could all use an extra dose of humor to start out the weekend.

My heart is heavy for the people of France today. Take care of each other, and be just a little more loving to everyone you meet. At some point, this violence HAS to stop.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Breed Specific Discrimination

FB_IMG_1460509388221Most of the time when we talk about breed specific prejudices, we focus on Pit Bulls, but its important to remember we’ve been here before. Many breeds have been the subject of laws and even just plain hatred because they’ve been seen as too aggressive. Typically, what we end up seeing is that if you breed and train them right, they are no different than any other dog.

In my recent trips through our local dog pounds and shelter, I’ve seen an abundance of Pit Bulls waiting to be adopted. They are very hard to place because people don’t realize how sweet they can be. Please don’t discriminate!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
