Day 24: Trade Secrets

My dogs are pretty well behaved. I can take them out in public, and while they might not always maintain my high standards, they usually exceed those of most people. “I can’t believe how well-behaved they are,” people tell me. “My dog would be going nuts.” I can at least count on my dogs to [...]

Handsome Jack

I’ve had a few people ask me about ARLP’s most unusual foster, so I thought I’d write a little bit on how we came to have a cat in a Rottweiler and pit bull rescue.

Sung Heroes

So many congratulations to Jennifer Cummings and Claremore Animal Shelter for their Compassion for Victims of Cruelty Award 2009!
Jennifer sent a little bit of her love to Minnesota in the shape of a wiggly, shimmery, Minnow.
Minnow loved her some Jen! The day I met Minnow she was a puddle on her back for Jen’s [...]

Happy Pit Bull Art

And some more pit bull art. It’s a new obsession. I wondered how much cool art inspired by pit bulls I could find. This Spring ARLP and Sarah Thornton of Lintu Art will be hosting the 2nd annual Deviant Art show.

Day 13: Oops.

Including Jo, I have four bully breed dogs living at my house, all with their own individual quirks and levels of dog tolerance. So as you can imagine, it’s in my best interest to make sure introductions are done smoothly and properly for the sake of harmony in the herd and sanity in my brain. [...]

Bike Ride With A Pit Bull

I love beautiful art. I love the internet. This morning, while idly searching, I found this piece of art by Geoff Benzing. I fell in love with it and felt compelled to share. You can see more of Geoff’s art here. Sadly, this piece has already been sold, sigh.
