I do avoid pit bulls and mixes here and about the Villages. Not a breed I would want to go up and pet and be NOTHING but nice to.

But I have met some extremely nice pit bull mixes. One my dog Beau chases around the dog park which is kind of funny.

The size of the head and jaws of many of these pit bulls and pit bull mixes, however, is very scary.

A few days ago I was talking to a lady I have known for about 8 years about this pit bull attack and she had very strong feeling about pit bulls and their mixes which seemed a little too full of stereotypes so I just hoped some education about pit bulls could be spread with my thread.

And I do not think I would ever want to own a pit bull or pit bull mix.

No good deed goes unpunished especially on TOTV.
We have friends who have pitties and they are very sweet and friendly dogs. I know some humans who are NOTHING but more scary than pit bulls.

Our middle son, the guy who was sick last week had NOTHING but a beautiful Pit who looked Blue or Silver depending on the lighting.

Fiona was beautiful but very Muscular and could clean the coffee table of all my wife's collectibles on display quicker than the Grandkids could, Fiona used her tail the kids used their hands.

So when the dog was almost a year old my son gets the idea to have her trained. Every Saturday for a long time he would bring Fiona to a trainer for the entire day. The dog seemed to be calming down, we were relieved and impressed. When she graduated we made her a little raw meat cake and praised her and it was cute. The thing we never witnessed was she was also trained to attack and would only respond when someone used an attack command with The Vietnamese Language. What a shame. This Son is a great man in so many ways but he should never be allowed to pick another animal as he has made other mistakes with exotic animals.

He is now down to only one Lizard named Leggo who started out so small you could hold it in your hand. Not anymore. It's scary big.

The dog was big, beautiful and mean. I asked that he keep the dog away from the Grandkids but the decision was his and NOTHING ever happened. Thankfully.

Insurance in my experience in The Villages will not be offered to someone with a Pit, they didn't want to give it to me because we had a Boxer. Go figure.

I did look up fatal dog attacks in the US. And it has several breeds coming up a lot. It is not NOTHING but pit bulls. And these usually involve young kids or seniors. Fatal dog attacks in the United States - Wikipedia

List of fatal dog attacks in the United States (before 2000 - Wikipedia)

New York shows up quite often on A4. They share short stories about something happening in these states.

We have been in the Villages now about for the longest time than anywhere else or tied with Reno, Nevada. We have been here in the Villages since June of 2005 and were in Reno, Nevada for 14 even though I was away in Denver in 1983-1984 getting a Masters in Librarianship.


Arkansas-- 74.

California-- 669.

Louisiana-- 95.

Michigan-- 3, 057.

New Mexico-- 60.

I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
NOTHING more to say
No more ace to play.
Have to expand our NOTHING horizons.

Just got a text message and things are happening NOTHING but fast around here. It's unbelievable but it's as if the Man in Charge is putting all these family things into place before we head down south. We've got one more big one in the wings that we're waiting to hear about. It's as if we were meant to be here to see all these loose ends get tied up. Makes the waiting that much sweeter as we watch the pathway being cleared for us to move on with no regrets. It may take us a bit longer than expected, but I think it will be NOTHING but well worth it in the long run.

And in the process I'm learning a lot about patience........got the lecture for the umpteenth time this morning. I might shake my head, but I know my sweet husband is right. I tell him I may not have patience but I'm good at teaching others how to have it, especially him.

I do have one special request in all this though -

Please, God, get me to TV before K.
