I thanked the man who answered the phone for helping those fight-bust pit bulls and told him that pit bull people are all family. <br /><br />I went on to ask him what he would like me to send. He said they needed lots of towels, because they wash up a lot of puppies (awwwwww), and blankets, and anything you'd need to take care of a lot of animals. He was very, very kind -- I could tell he was a warm and loving person.<br /><br />I just finished placing an order with my favorite pet products website and will be sending them a couple dozen leads and collars. Some friends and I are working on gathering up enough towels and blankets to get a package together and on its way to Claremore.<br /> <br />Thanks BADRAP for letting me do a little something to make me feel really good. I can't fly to the Midwest myself to rescue or evaluate fight bust dogs. But sending a few supplies to a shelter that went out of its way to help pit bulls --- that I can do!<br /><br />s&b/mty (aka FDM)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-25890591910750365342009-09-08T14:17:21.924-07:002009-09-08T14:17:21.924-07:00I think pitbulls DO get a bad rap.

They can get more information from M-guy. He did a 'internet radio' show a couple times where he participated with guest interviews. I like the idea of hearing the people so us pibbles can put the sound with the faces. Also, the 'program' could be downloaded and replayed (pod-cast for pibble fee).<br /><br />Speaking of pod-casts, my favorite orthopedic Vet does a radio show on Sunday nights that you can 'download' to review the pod-cast later. He has some great advice for folks like Audie, me and others with our graceful bod's. KTRH "Your Pet's Health" Here is his link to some of his podcasts:<br />"http://www.ktrh.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=yourpetshealth.xml"<br />I missed his one on elbow displasia, I bet he talked about my inner beauty. <br /><br />Would be a great way to share barn-yard stories with the crew.<br /><br />I'll check-back, Boris, CGCBorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882525604461500267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-1251540683088367132009-09-04T23:17:13.562-07:002009-09-04T23:17:13.562-07:00Great story!

It's so nice to read about people who will save the dogs who need it most, regardless of their breed.<br /><br /><br />Laurie<br />http://dogfostermom.blogspot.comDog Foster Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397597808629183126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-3956521120761074252009-09-04T11:01:49.681-07:002009-09-04T11:01:49.681-07:00Humming indeed.

A fund raiser (which would also be a good way for you to raise even more money for your barn) and have us make a minimum donation to paypal and in return we get to ask you a question.<br /><br />It seems the best way to take advantage of the 'pit bull love' that is out there. You get to raise funds. And we get to ask a question. Everyone wins.<br /><br />Andre<br /><br />www.abeautifulrevolution.comandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144674747623549987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-7102371089892913632009-09-04T07:16:48.059-07:002009-09-04T07:16:48.059-07:00WOW, I got teary ready that!!

In addition we have the incredible number of strays, mostly pitbulls, flooding in as well. <br /><br />The best way a pitbull can easily get a home in Philly is to be thrown into the Schuylkill River by a dissatisfied owner (as in, you didn't win that fight) and get rescued and then you FINALLY get the attention you deserve.<br /><br /><br />See the story:<br />http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=6987647<br /><br />Of course I'll send a donation to that tiny shelter in Oklahoma and hope that everyone else does as well.The Foster Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010815003205256117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-68617510162899296142009-09-03T15:45:13.503-07:002009-09-03T15:45:13.503-07:00Jennifer...I'm proud to call you my friend!
