About to switch from kombucha to beer!
I have mixed feelings about the dog thing. On one hand, larger dogs, like pit bulls, are dangerous, because they are so big and heavy. Little dogs, like dachshunds, chihuahuas and poodles can be viscious little bastards, but they are small enough to kick away if they attack. I have always been against the continuance of the pit bull breed, until I interacted with some friend's dogs and saw how sweet they are. I now have a pit mix that is a little smaller than a pure pit...rescued from a shelter. She is a big sweetheart. Pits used to be adored as family pets because of their tendency to be protective of children. It tends to be the pits that were raised to fight, or that have been abused, that are bad...as are their owners. I still think those animals need to be put down and their owners jailed. I agree that the owners are the source of almost ALL issues, from the dogs' behaviour to the lack of controlling them. My biggest "pet" peeve is owners that flaunt the leash laws, because THEIR dog is okay...not like anyone else's dog. I could go on and on and relate a couple run-ins I've had, but you get the idea. I love dogs, pity the abused ones, and HATE bad owners. But you certainly do whatever to protect family.
