Just a rant...

I really hate people sometimes.
There were two pit bull stories on the news tonight. One about a pit that bit 6 year old in the face, and another story about a pit that was terrorizing his block. I feel horrible for the little girl and the dog in the first story. It showed the pit, of course, and he looked completely miserable. It felt like my chest just caved in, because it's so saddening to see something that's doomed from the beginning. That dog never had a chance, and because of the CRAPPY A$$ owner (ie. - horrible excuse for a human) that little girl got bit.
In the second story that pit was carted off by animal control. The woman at the house KNEW that the dog was getting out and bothering the neighbors. Her comment was "it's mah son's dawg." She's not going to bail it out, she said she's just going to tell him that it ran away.

I'm just so sad and frustrated right now.

I am sorry I know it is so sad, it is hard to watch people be stupid and not be able to do anything about it.

I have a GSD mix puppy and everyone tells me how stupid I am to have such a dog that is going to grow up and turn on me, so it just goes to show you: Stupid is as Stupid does.

Hope you feel better, hug your fur babies.

Wow! So your GSD mix puppy is going to grow up and turn on you?? In July of '04 I adopted what the shelter told me was a GSD mix puppy and he grew up to be the goofiest, most loveable dog - he'll smooch anything that moves. And a lot of people I see walking their dogs here have pure GSDs and none of them ever *turned* on their owners. Where do people get these bizarre ideas???

i have to say that i was afraid of gsd's for a long time because i knew one as a kid that was very aggressive towards people. it wasnt until later on that i realized it must have been because of something that the owner did to it. i think that people are misinformed by the media for one, and also by other people who claim to know something about dogs. my dad thinks all dobermans and pit bulls will eventually turn on their owners, and not from any personal experience but from things he has "heard".

You will here stories like that form time to time here in NY. I wish the Pitts and every other breed including mutts would have some New Yorkers for dinner. Good way to thin out the stupid people.

I personally would never have thought of a GSD doing anything like that, she is so sweet, cannot imagine, but she does do that devil dog thing where she shows her teeth and tries to kill the rope toy.....uh oh.
It gets worse, I have a black golden retriever that obviously has some black chow in him, he is so dangerous too. My neighbors are stupid people, that is why we walk at the park most of the time.
Stupid people.

Sooner, yeah that was the local news last night. I don't remember what channel I was watching though. I think it was the one with Kelly Ogle. lol I can't stand him, but anyway. I could be completely wrong about the channel, because I was just kind of channel surfing before bed last night.

Sad thing to see right before bed.

Heh. My ex-brother-in-law who lives in New Orleans used to say, "It's not the heat, it's the stupidity."
