We had our own pit bull awareness day in upstate NY -- and everyone loved it! |

Well, to celebrate pit bull awareness day, we had a small meet-up in central new york, at a local park...
... THANKFULLY the park warden was nice enough to let us use the pavilion, and with that, we had ourselves a party!
|
|
|
Here's Ms. Tater and her mom --
-- yes, Tater is a girl's name -- in this case!
|
And next, our heart-throb, little Boots -- a Southern boy who ventured up North, looking for the perfect home -- :D |
|
|
Don't forget Ms. Maddie, too, who is an absolute PRINCESS -- !! |
Dan says that Maddie is all he ever wanted in a dog -- that is GREAT!
She is a Virginia girl herself, and after a botched placement, she found forever in Rochester, NY with Dan and Bec.
|
|
|
Then we have Jodi and her little man Gus --
-- not a pit bull, but damn vocal, if I must say so myself, keeping everyone in check!
|
Little Gus is just that -- little -- so his bark needs to be bigger than his bite, and as long as I've got Precious off the ground, in my arms, he can be a little pill -- :D |
|
|
Next, Sue, from Central New York, with her two Hartford boys, and plenty of garbage cans around them to prevent their eyes from wandering -- !!
Nobody ever said owning 70 lb. terriers would be easy, but it sure is rewarding!
|
Don't forget Meliss and her boy Dozer, who she rescued from a rescue in the Finger-lakes -- !! |
|
|
And with that, we're off to explore... |
... and first, Elvis claims his ground on the lake-side, scaring off the birds.
WHAT a pretty day it was -- !!
|
|
|
Next, Elvis accepts gratuitous lovin', with no shame -- !! |
And then, I rotate Elvis out for Precious --
-- the Preccinator -- :D
|
|
|
Precious is a girl, through and through --
-- from the way she struts when she walks, to the way she takes tiny bites when she eats -- this girl is all woman.
Just don't, really don't, upset her --
-- then she assumes a high pitched chirping voice and her white head gets all purple with excitement.
I prefer her more girlie than that -- !!
|
Here she is, exploring the shore.... |
|
Next, Melissa's Dozer gets his fill... |
|
|
... and little Boots takes time to enjoy the fall weather.
What kills me about these dogs is how perfect they start out -- how lovely they are --
|
-- and then, sometimes, how they're ruined by their cruel and / or uncaring "owners."
There is nothing more that this boy wants to do than please his master. He doesn't want to grow up hated by society. He doesn't want to be a perceived menace around children and white-picket fences --
-- instead, he wants to be part of it, and for that, he needs the most socialized, most loving home he can find.
|
|
|
The same goes for Ms. Maddie.
Whe we took her in to rescue, her surrendering rescue said she might have some issues -- at 10 weeks old -- !!
|
Well, after some tough love by Thor and company, and some wonderful ownership by Dan and Bec, this girl is a poster-child for a loving family-dog.
But wait --
-- what is she so intent on in this picture??
|
|
|
OH NOOO -- !!
It's every parent's worst nightmare --
-- Maddie caught her a MOUSE -- !!
Unfortunately, the mouse didn't make it -- but Dan got Maddie to let the mouse go -- :(
|
So, with that, we had a grand day --
-- plenty of socializin' for the pups, and for us.
And too, to some of the onlookers visiting the park, we represented our breed well.
GREAT WORK, ALL!
