New puppy!

[Mister Internet]

Well Teal, from that last rant I think you proved what everyone here was thinking about you.

He did nothing of the sort, he provided a very lucid explanation of his position, opinions, experience, and LEGAL PASTTIMES. You need to stop accusing him of being a dog fighter, as this is about the 3rd time in this thread you've done it, and it needs to stop. You are basing this on NOTHING more than your "icky feeling" that he has mentioned training his dogs in a way you've been conditioned by dog fighting propaganda to believe is abusive and cruel. You are wrong, and he has done nothing to warrant your continued harassment.

Also, you need to think carefully about making statements of what "everyone" thinks... you don't speak for me.

Can you all please be adults for the remainder of the thread? Or start a new one?

Exo - What more can I say, than "Think what you will?"
Obviously, you are only taking from my posts those things that could support your theory that I am a dog fighter.. rather than reading the entire post with an open mind and taking in all the information. It's rather ignorant of you, and where I would normally be offended at your continued accusations even after I've been more than accommodating with explanations, I am just in awe at the stereotypes you are applying and how it shows a complete lack for anything you say being of your own thoughts.
Though I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and dispel your misguided thoughts on me and the activities I participate in with my dogs.. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't something you were interested in.

Mister Internet - I appreciate you reading my posts as they were intended.

(Oh, and just because I am amused by the common mistake.. I'm female, lol)

Not to mention - the general public can't even properly ID the American pit bull terrier. They are a medium breed - meaning 30-50lbs., maybe 60-70 for a LARGE male - with an athletic, slim build. Not quite what you pictured, right? All these stories of "100lb. pit bulls" are loads of crap - you wanna talk about a mixed breed designer mutt? THERE you have it! They are called American Bullies (not American BullDOGS.. separate breed), and they are bred for size, colour, and for status - notice how temperament isn't mentioned?

This I agree with the dogs are being bred way to large

APBTs are the only breed that, during creation, was culled (meaning, killed) based on the criteria of biting humans!

So if their PAST was still the PRESENT... If the breeding had never strayed from it's original purpose... there would never have been a problem

But, it has strayed lots of backyard breeders Now...It is not like the days of Colby or Carver floyed ECT..or any of the dogmen of the past I am just glad you love the breed as much as we do that is what will keep the pitbull around for a long long time.

I was just surprised that she seems rather un-sympathetic about the whole dogfighting thing. Hey, maybe I'm wrong and she has nothing to do with dogfighting....well, nothing I say is going to change anything anyway, so I guess I'm done.

PS Sarah, your avatar scares the crap out of me. I'm currently reading the book, way scarier than the movie, and the movie gave me nightmares *shudder*

LOL - thank you I love that film, the book is excellent, by the way! I'm a Stephen King fan. A lot of people don't like his work but I happen to

I love his stuff too, I've read quite a few of his books. Have you read his short story The Long Walk? He wrote it as Richard Bachman. It's really messed up, you should read it if you haven't already. I got Mackenzie hooked on him with The Long Walk, haha.

(PS, I'm only about 300 pages into the book, and I was afraid since I saw the movie first that I might not like it as much since I'd picture some of the scenes as they were in the movie, but the book is SO different, I'm really enjoying it)

And just so I'm not completely off topic, that is a very cute puppy.

I want to join the off topic conversation, and say that I loved his book "Rose Madder" and another one that was a collection of short stories, but I don't remember what it was called.

I've never read It, or seen the movie though!

I LOVED Rose Madder. The ending was really creepy and weird. You need to read It, it's really good. Or watch the movie. Or both. The movie is quite different from the book.
Could the collection of short stories be Night Shift, or Skeleton Crew? There's some other one but I can't remember what it's called. There's a story in it called Autopsy Room Four. OH! Everything's Eventual. That's what it's called...it's newer.
