I'm A Gangster?

Teaching my granddaughter, Kennidi, to be a gangster. We have a long way to go:-)

You can imagine the owners of ''pit bull kind of dogs'' are more than irritated by this comment. Man kind has so many preconceived ideas of practically everything. People with red hair are ''hot heads'', people that ride motorcycles are a rough and tumble kind of folk, and people that own a pit bull are gangsters. Now some of these preconceived ideas may be accurate, but not in every instance.

My father has red hair and not once have I ever seen him angry beyond belief. I ride a motorcycle as do many of my friends. There isn't a mean person in the group. I don't officially own a pit bull, but I do have them living with me and care for them. I'm not a gangster, a thug, or a home boy. (whatever those are). I know many people that do own pit bulls. They have various professions, incomes, lifestyles, and family dynamics. How dare we lump everyone together because at one time someone acted this way or did something wrong and happened to own a pit bull.

Many shelters and rescues go above and beyond the call of duty when adopting out a bully breed. SEPR is very open and honest about the possibility of the dog having strong prey drive or possible animal aggression. We educate our families and provide support for them as long as they have the dog. We work very hard at making sure our dogs are adopted to families that will care for the dog and be responsible pit bull owners. Our goal is not to see how many we can place, but to make sure they are a good fit.

So Kelly, would that mean that people owning a Chihuahua are all Paris Hilton types? You know, blonde, skinny, rich, spoiled? Kind of like you Kelly.
