About me...


Hello before I start I want to tell you a little about myself. I am a dog lover, always have been, always will be. I have had a dog my whole life, except for one year when I lived in an apartment. I never owned a pitbull until three years ago. I have always had German Shepherds, Labs, German Shorthairs or a mutt of some kind. I have been bit badly by three German Shepherds, none of which were mine.

The picture above is of Dante, the very first pitty we rescued. He is amazing. I want to be honest, I was scared of him the first week we got him. I had read some stories and bought into all the hype about them being bad dogs. Boy, could I have ever been more wrong. But more about that later. Dante is a white red nosed pitbull. He has gorgeous brown eyes and cute pink ears. He sometimes looks like a piggy.

I now own a total of 5 pitbulls and 1 lhasa apso. The lhasa apso was here before the pitbulls, she is a 14 year old grandma, and she rules the house. Can you imagine a 10 pound dog telling pitbulls what to do? Well, it's true, she barks and they ALL listen.

I have become an advocate of sorts to the pitty population. They get a very bad wrap.
And that basically is what this blog is about, disproving the myths about the breed and also providing facts about these amazing dogs.
