Meet Brody...
Two months ago, my wife and I adopted an American Pit-bull Terrier from the SPCA. Brody (aka Burner, the name given to him by the SPCA) was about 16 months old and had a broken ear and was missing one of his back legs! Apparently his owner had refused to get him medical treatment, and the leg had already healed incorrectly by the time someone called the SPCA for help. The SPCA tried to fix his leg but Brody refused to walk on it so they had to amputate.
Already having a Boxer/Lab mix at home we were worried about a couple things.... how they would interact, that our Boxer would be to crazy for a little crippled dog with only one hind leg and all of the stereotypes put on pitbulls from the media. Over the next couple weeks we quickly realized that there wasn't a single thing that Brody couldn't do because of his impairment. He keeps up stride for stride with our Boxer when they are playing, has no problem getting up or down steps and can jump in the bed without any hesitation. I don't think Brody knows he is different from most dogs!
As wrong as we were about his missing leg, we were even more wrong about the pitbull breed. Having been around Krissy's pitbull, I knew pitbulls werent the vicious, mean, fighting dogs you here the media make them out to be. But I guess I wasnt fully convinced since that was the only pitbull Ive ever been around. Brody quickly convinced us that pitbulls are nothing to look down upon. Brody is the most gentle, relaxed, loving dog that I have ever met in my life. He does not have a mean bone in his body, and just wants to be loved and have a warm bed to sleep in. Which by the way, as I'm typing this I can hear my "mean, ferocious pit-bull" snoring from his favorite place in the world.... my bed.
Im writing this blog to inform people of a couple things. Number one.... if you see an animal suffering, do not hesitate to call someone and get help! The cases that come across the news make me sick sometimes. These dogs can't provide for themselves, or walk into the hospital to get treated for a broken bone. They rely on us humans to take care of them. If you know someone who isn't feeding their dogs, or abusing them or simple refusing to get them the help they need, GET HELP before it is to late! Number 2.... Do not be convinced by the media frenzy surrounding pitbulls that the entire breed wants to do nothing but destroy anyone and anything they come in contact with. It isnt the breed that is at fault, it is the people who are training them to be this way. Pitbulls are not proven to be more vicious than any other breed. They are however, the most commonly used breed for dog fighting, and get a bad reputation because of the criminals that force them to be that way. Number three and most important.... please adopt from the SPCA or any other shelter. There are way too many dogs looking for a good loving family in these places. They don't receive state or local funding and rely on us to help support them and their over abundance of animals that need rescuing every year. Help save a life by adopting from a shelter. We were very impressed by the SPCA and their willingness to help us find the perfect dog that would work well with our existing dog. Even if you can't adopt an animal, please donate or volunteer your time! It is up to us to help save these animals!

Going for a record here....
Ok if you wake up tomorrow and there is a foot of snow on the ground....Its all my fault! I just photographed this family this morning, already got the proofs out to them and am now doing the blog post all within less 12 hours of each other! Miracle right?
I met up with this awesome family and drove two seconds from their house down to the water for some great beach shots. It was HOT! But Laura, Curtis and their two girls were troopers and we survived the heat and even got some smiles from the little one after she was promised some ice cream!
