Yes, Life must change when you take on a committment but think of all of the boarding kennels that would be out of business if... people took their committment to the extreeme?? And this means?? cotton wool anyone?? hmmmm, thanks Molly, very nice person indeed, I will take your advice and stock up on the cotton wool and any you can send my way will be appreciated. You go ahead and put yourself first every step of the way and I will continue to care for my animals and to advise other responsible people to do the same. And while we have irresponsible people, because their circumstances changed! we will continue to have diseases. It means this: that if everyone was too scared to go on holidays and take their pets/family members places because of the what ifs then people would be out of business......?? Like children for example, If I take my girls down to the shopping center I do so knowing that even though they are fully vacinated there is still a chance that whilst they are out some wally has taken thier chickenpox diseased child there also and they can still catch something. So am I going to keep them at home in a bubble just because they might get ill? No I'm not. I am going to do my part and keep thim up to date with their jib jabs and make sure I dont blindly talke them to places where I know they will be at high risk if they are not up to date with their immunisations...... I don't put myself first every step of the way.....infact the only think I HAVE done for myself in the last 15 years was buy Molly my beautiful boxer. I really think you have missed what I was saying and meaning in my response because I agree with you to an extent but hey its awesome that you are so concerned and your one liners really have the crowd cheering.

Somtimes things change and there is no other choice.....We were told one date as a collection date for Molly, planned a holiday and then 3 weeks before the date we were told to come and collect her because her mum was not doing to well with all of the pups. We tried to change her collection time until she was older however we were unable to. Although pet disease is serious I really don't think people should be so anal about the do's and dont's of pet ownership based on the what if's...what will be next? not taking your pet to a park because it could be bitten by an ant? because many years ago ants used to live at the park? If anything happened to my babies I would be shattered and go through the what ifs but really I would go insane if I did it every day.

The media are powerful. if some1 said to me they had a "pit" I would be more inclined not to visit their house just because of the stigma that is attached to that breed. I have not had any experiences with the breed and I have to admit that I have been tainted by the media. In saying this I do know that any breed of dog can have a nasty streak. If I were trained and able to give these ex fighing dogs a home so that they could be given a second chance I really would live in fear daily because you just would never know..... This post is a bit random I know, but in my view a dog that has been trained to fight will always have that ability in them....it would just be masked. A question that comes to mind would be: Would it be better for a dog as far as re homing goes (esp a "pit") to be found wandering the streets with an unknown history or for one to be rescued from the above mentioned situation???
