I am very sad and pissed off at the same time...
I just read that whole thing on myspace about how california is trying to basically get rid of certain breeds, starting with pitts. And don't kid yourself, if this passes there it will take the country by storm then they will start in on the other breeds listed on the aggressive breed list, dobbie, chows, rotts, shephards, mastiffs and so on. In Florida it was bad enough, Broward Country reqiures you to register your dog only if it is an agressive breed. SO like my moms min pin, it was not rewuired for it to be registered. But my pitt mix has to be registered under the county AND under the city you live in. And some citys require you to pay like twice the amount for the city tag for "dangerous" dogs, like pitts. Some cities require you to go one step futher and also register it with the local police department too. In Tamarac you have to do all of the above and the vet said by the time I was done registering her it would cost me well over $100. That is rediculous!
And to top it off I have a resuced Pitt mix, so for my dog not only does she have to go through all the standard bull shit but she was also beat and then abonded in the winter in fucking Michigan! And my roomate and I both have noticed ones that look just like her and we have asked the opwners where they got theirs and shit, they ALL were resuced in shiawassee or an adjacent county, all were abused and abonded, all are they same basic age. I have taken my findings to the local humane society and they said that they knew there were more but they were only brought one, and shiawassee animal control only captured one. So obviously this owner decided not to keep any of them after beating them, what a great person.
It just irratates me sooo much. My moms min pin is more likely to bite than my pitt mix but yet it is my dog that people run from that they are scared of. Hell Tequilla doesnt even really bark! And she always looks so lazy and sad, how could anyone be afraid of her? Her anxiety gets so bad sometimes that like when I had to take her to a new vet in Florida I had to hold her like a baby in my arms and walk around with her to get her to calm down.
But in better news...she is doing great here. She is getting into her create on her own and doesnt whine anymore while she is in there. Her and JD get along great too. They are always cuddling up together when they sleep, they are so cute! She is still trying to figure out a way for Matt to like her though. He pets her sometimes but he deffinetly gives the pup way more attention and I see in her eyes that she doesnt understand why. Like when he gets home he picks the pup up right away and tells her to go lay down somewhere. But he is getting better about it, so hopefully it will improve even more. She really likes him though, she gets sooo excited when he gets home from work and shit.
But I am going to go attempt to do the dishes from dinner last night and lunch today so it will all be ready for dinner tonight. I still feel like shit, so we will see how that goes.
