Bio:
Oscar is the star of a book! Well, it hasn't been published yet, but his Dogster friends will be among the first to know once he finds a publisher. His book is a story about the challenges of owning a pit bull, facing the threats of prejudice and breed bans, and the commitment of his owner to stick with him through it all.

My mom posted a video on her blog about breed specific legislation (BSL), which are the laws that are passed that ban pit bulls, like me, or make our owners jump through unfair hoops to keep us.
This video does a pretty good job of expressing why my mom wrote a novel about me - so people would understand that pit bulls are lovable dogs who are parts of families just like yours, and we don't deserve to be discriminated against.
Check it out on her blog (scroll down...it's the post after the muppet video!):

P.S. We're working on finding an agent for the novel...we'll continue to keep you all posted!

Today is Spay Day USA - a day that the Doris Day Animal Foundation and the Humane Society of the United States have put together to help fight pet overpopulation. You can find out more at www.spaydayusa.org
If you're a pit bull and you need to get fixed (or know a pit bull in need of speutering), check out Pit Bull Rescue Central at www.pbrc.net/speuter.html
I know that since I got fixed, I've had much less to worry about. Don't have to worry about being responsible for unwanted puppies, don't have to worry about being a tough guy (which is good, because I really tend to be a mushball around the ladies), and I don't have to worry about certain health problems down the road. Makes life much easier.
Today is a good day to get fixed, encourage your neighbors to get fixed, and for your humans to donate to low-cost spay/neuter programs.
Happy Spay Day!

A few days ago, it was practically springtime. Now we just had an ice storm and I'm slipping across the slush outside. At least I'm not the one who has to worry about vacuuming up the fur I'm shedding or cleaning up my wet pawprints!
I don't know how the rest of you pit bulls feel, but I'm about ready for springtime. It's fun at first when it snows, but we pit bulls are practically naked out there (except for the nice jacket I have on in my photo).
Before I was rescued, I was one of those dogs kept outside all year long. It was miserable and lonely. If you know any dogs left out in the cold, or being otherwise mistreated, there's a great website out there with tips on what you can do about it: www.sunbearsquad.org
Back to my warm, cozy couch...
Oscar
