Colleen's Dog Blog: A pit's view...

" McDonald's has really gotten my mom hyped up... Dad and I took a ride to moms work yesterday to help move the groomers new lift table. Ashley the new groomer is so sweet! She always is willing to give me treats! I heard mom talking about it and knew she was upset."

" I wish I knew why me and my breed are labeled as a bad dog? We are just as goofy as any other dog. Mom always says it's how the dogs owner treats the dog that matters. She works with dogs from 3 pounds to 200 pounds everyday... I think she knows best. When mom and dad are talking at dinner ( I am close just in case they happen to drop a bite or two) I always hear mom saying how it's the little dogs that try and bite or OF COURSE a CAT!!!!"

" My mom educates people and I always try to be on my best behavior around others. Some times on walks people ask what I am... mom always proudly says an american pit bull terrier. Some people say I'm cute ( smart people) and some back away like I am 4000 pounds and ready to attack ( not very smart people) Even though I am always very friendly and of course CUTE, people judge me anyway. All you hear about on the news is about bad things that my breed and other bully breeds do.I wish people would hear good things. "

" McDonald's is wrong to make a commercial implying that it is safer to eat their chicken nuggets then to pet a pit bull. Are you kidding me?? I AM SAFE!! I might jump up and kiss you if your lucky."

"A lot of people called about this matter. McDonald's said they were sorry and they didn't mean to hurt peoples feelings. They said they would remove the commercial. It's great when people all pull together to make a difference. Thank you for those that always stand up for dogs and other animals."

" I am proud of my mom for standing up for me and for others. My breed has LOTS of good things about us; we are really smart and learn things quickly, we are very loyal to the ones who love us, we are good at snoring and farting, and we are fun loving... just give us a chance!"

" I let my mom open my mouth to brush my teeth, I let her put really embarrassing outfits, hats and glasses on me. Do I look dangerous or vicious ? Mom always says the most vicious thing about pit bulls is their farts... I feel as though that is debatable... my snoring is much worse."

" I am going to share some fun pictures of me and mom from this past week. Life is good."
