When Pit bulls were known as "Nanny Dogs"

Believe you me, I have never been a huge fan of Pit bulls as a dog breed~ 
but in my interactions with the loving ones and encountering the incredible 
prejudice against their breed because of bad humans 
that train and abuse them to be anti-social~

 I decided to share their roots and history...

For generations, if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you wanted a pit bull, 

the dog that was the most reliable of any breed with children or adults.

  

 Pit bull puppies prefer human company to their mother’s two weeks before all other dogs...

In temperance tests (the equivalent of how many times your kid can poke your dog in the eye before he bites him) of all breeds the most tolerant was the Golden Retriever. 

The second most tolerant was the pit bull.

 Pit Bulls' new reputation now makes them the highest number of any other breed euthanized.

Adjust your preconceptions.

Legos: so not just for kids...or dorks.

(I am so sorry, I forgot where I got this from~ Totally not mine, 

there's some really cool person out there that created this, 

not me...but I'm inspired, for sure.)

After a month or so of feeling uninspired, evacuated, and super busy... 

I      Love     Vintage!

Happy day to all you "fools" out there! 

Holla to all the 4-eyes out there!

I love the concept of this project~ and would totally do something like this if I ever had children...sounds like a fun project to do for oneself too! Some things never change?

Oh, America...

There are so many things wrong with this that I don't know where to even begin...Dog in purse, gun + Cell phone, Swarovski, Faberegé eggs...so überly Republican Bourgeois, I am afraid.

Cute dog, interesting decor...

It looks like some people still are having fun with fashion week!

Inspired by a good friend of mine and the realization that I have always had a lot to share...And given that I am living apart from most all those who I hold dear (not able to harass anyone in person)...not being one that was ever good at keeping journals (and since it is the digital age) = why not turn my observations into digital form!
This way I have the enjoyment of sharing and posting the tidd-bits of what I stumble upon in this crazy place.

This is just a conversation & a collection, of sorts...and I will be interested to see where (and whether) it adapts to or degrades from here... and so it begins.
