When in doubt I always return to the favourites:

A man said to the universe:

"Sir, I exist!"

"However," replied the universe,

"The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation."

Stephen Crane

Seconded by this wonderful old boxer whose owner dressed him as a pirate on halloween.

I just found an excellent definition of my thinking process. I have a grasshopper mind. That is why I started this blog and why I get distracted and forget what I was going to say on the blog.

This picture I call Patti's Pit Bull...not because I have adopted a pit bull but because it is such a neat title!

This is Tyson who was abandoned and rescued by the people at the local dog run. They thought they had a foster home for him but the family cat named George beat him up the first night and so for a moment he was fostered by Rags and his owner.

He was a very distressed puppy. The good news is that he was adopted by a family who understands pit bulls.

There is a group of people in my area who have made it their goal to redeem the reputation of pit bull. Their dogs wear neckerchiefs and want nothing more than to be patted. They are a fascinating and much abused breed.
