I understand that certain individuals are capable of raising safe animals. I am also capable of seeing that dogs bread for fighting or protection are more dangerous.

i work as a vet nurse...dogs are only as well behaved as their owners. we end up having to train them more than the dogs. rotty pups are by far the cutest, that all said. may i be added?
Just noticed the date at the top of your post. Been time-traveling, Mel?
BTW, an answering machine greeting I once heard that I found mildly amusing: "You've reached (name) at (phone #). I'm traveling through time and can't come to the phone, but if you'll leave a message, I will have already gotten back to you."

im not gonna lie, i want to add you firstly cause i saw the hot pics of a chub girl with ink, then i read your journal for a good hour or so, fellow photographer, tattoo'd and inked, new orleans? I think im in love!
i saw your posts and think you look lovely. i know we share a similiar interests in dogs...not much experience with pit bulls thop...i do think they are cute. think i can be added?
Just like a few others on here, I saw your pictures on a community and I love the ink, and thought you were absolutely beautiful, so I thought I'd take a look around. And after the whole dog thing I read, and the fact that I've had lots of dogs considered "bully" breeds of dogs, it just kind of made me sad and I'm glad to see someone combating something like that. Soo....I'm going to add you if you don't mind.
