Spencer
I just had to share, I am not sure if any of you were aware of the story of Spencer the pit bull in Mobile, AL. He was picked up as a stray in Mobile, and taken to the shelter.

Yet another pit bull story
Our local CBS affiliate in Boston ran a story of a Pit attack in Brockton (lotsa drug dealers in that town). It seems a man tried to grab two loose Pits and take them back to their own yard.

AKC judging policy
Ok folks... For those of us who participate in dog sport, the AKC has just implemented a policy that you can only judge for them and no other organziation. Now that is odd, since agility judges dont have to comply with the no other venue rule. Conformation judges can't do UKC. Herding judges cant...
