[Dailydrool] pitbulls, walking, and whatnot

[Alan Folsom]

First let me say I am a pacifist, and Quaker, and would never unneccesarily 
harm anything.  Be that as it is I never walk my dogs, especially at night, 
without a largish knife in my pocket.  If some other animal is attacking me 
or my dog, I will do what I need to to protect us.  I'm particularly glad to 
read about the dazer, as a more peaceful step before things escalate that 
far.   I'll be ordering one or two tomorrow. 

Some may remember that when I got Ginger, one of my sons rode along with me, 
and held her throught the four hours home.  She bonded to him, and 
immediately to his twin brother, after the initial shock of seeing two of 
them. 

Despite their best efforts, and a major attack of senioritis, they will be 
graduating from high school tomorrow.  On Thursday they have an all day 
orientation at their college, and then immediately go off to summer camp 
where they work during the summer, all week, except for noon saturday till 
noon sunday. This will be a MAJOR shock for Ginger.  After summer camp, they 
will have only a few days off before college starts. 

Of course, I'LL get more chance at the belly rubs and games, but I'm sure 
she'll miss them.  My wife and I may also, but I'm not sure it will take a 
while to find out.
