Me and my dogs in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Saturday, November 25, 2006

Is this not the cutest picture you've ever seen in your life? I really am the luckiest person on earth to have been blessed with such a dog as Buttercup, Teddy, Daisy and Charlie. I have been going mad with worry waiting for a family member to arrive home - now a day late because the special medical plane couldn't get off the ground today. So here we all wait. I think the dogs are noticing, too.

Marjorie asked why I've removed all references to Guysborough and Zeus and Sandy from my blog and took away the website that I'd built telling people not to spend any money in the district of the municipality of Guysborough while they had a breed ban on the derivation the pit bull type dogs and rottweillers. I got several other emails today about it too.

The answer is quite simple. I've got nothing but hassle and grief ever since I took up the cause of Guysborough - and last night I'd had enough - I've decided to let the DLCC and the people who hold the beliefs in that camp carry the mantle of the BSL fight forthwith - because I can't fight the people trying to end BSL AND enact BSL. For some reason, when you don't tow the line - you are a bad person, and I consider myself to be a good person - so I am removing the things that give me hassle. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe pit bulls SHOULDN'T be socialized. Maybe they SHOULDN'T ever be off leash or go to dog parks. Maybe they DO need dominance based training. Maybe my whole belief system about dogs is wrong. Maybe what everyone is telling me is right and I'm wrong. Maybe in 2026 dogs will cost $2,000 and be really hard to get and only be available in pet stores.

All I know is that I am tired of fighting with not only people who are supposed to be on the same side as me - but people who are supposed to be impartially reporting the news, but are instead reporting it with some kind of agenda that's frightening it, and manipulating the subjects in the report for their own profit, and that's reprehensible. And I'm tired of it. I just want to be a happy person who enjoys their dogs and has a normal life.

Commenting Policy

I let almost all comments go through, unless you are attacking me or the subject of my post, in which the comment will be deleted.

I also don't let comments go through that I don't feel like approving, so in other words, whether or not the comment will be approved is highly subjective.

I've also heard that there is some technical glitch with my commenting function on the blog - and it's really hard to post a comment - which suits me fine, so you might want to save your work before you press send - or you may get a bit angry at yourself for typing all that garbage out - and it was a completely waste of your time.

Gail Benoit Information

My blog posts about Gail Benoit have proven to be very popular - people seem to be googling her, and finding my blog - so I want to put some information on the sidebar so that people trying to find information about her can read this information quickly and get the news they need. They are Nova Scotia's most infamous sellers of dogs alongside the road and out of the backs of cars - and the dogs they sell are notorious for being sick, diseased, and dying. It is very sad that people only find out about them AFTER they've spent hundred's of dollars and the animal they've bought has suffered and usually died. The only way Ms. Benoit and Mr. Bailey are going to stop their trade of torture is if people stop buying their product. In the later part of 2008 they have been the news again - I've built a page with information about them at http://gailbenoit.ca/ or http://danabailey.ca/
