Arrival Story:
Oscar was found in a garbage (thus named after everyone's favorite trash-loving Sesame Street character). He was taken to the humane society, but they couldn't adopt him out due to his breed. Luckily, there was a friendly rescue group that took him in. He was finally adopted by a woman who was new to the world of dog ownership and pit bulls, but loved Oscar enough to learn the ropes.
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.

Forums Motto:
When in doubt, act like a clown.

Some friends of mine just tested a bunch of dog and cat stuff for toxic chemicals...and unfortunately, they found plenty of bad news. Nearly half of the collars and half of the doggie tennis balls (but not the ones from sports stores) had detectable levels of lead. Lots of the other toys and beds had chemicals, too.
There have been recalls for human toys, but at least they have some regulations. There are no standards to make sure we're not surrounded by toxic chemicals!
Luckily, HealthyStuff.org is trying to change that. Look up your favorite things to see how they rank...then go to the Take Action part of the website and tell your legislators and the manufacturers to start protecting the furry members of the family, too!

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!
