Just got home about an hour ago. Some reason I did not take any pictures. I did however take a photo of exhausted Rocky which i will post shortly. I did get a cool rescue Ink tank and a nice sun burn. I put my self in the shade. I remembered to bring sun screen but I was so busy trying to have ten eyes that I forgot to put it on. I guess when the sun came around it got me. It was fun. But disappointed that the park people made the event move their location to the back of the park. Had it been in original location I think it may have drawn people who otherwise may know nothing about the pit bull. I had a nice time and someone from a rescue noticed me. She was like hey you look familiar. I was like Im not from around here. I asked where you from. She said Albany thats when I remembered ahhh we were at the American Temperament test together. We were the only ones with bully breed. Small world I guess since she traveled 3 hours to get to that test. Out of the pits rescue in Albany. It was nice because I got info to spread to those looking to rescue in my area as Albany is probably about 2 hours from me. I never got to see the weight pull. I pretty much hung around the CGC and RPB tables then walked around and talked with some of the shelters. Other than the police bustin chops to move the cars in the middle of the event and giving someone a ticket I think it went well.

Who Knew laying around in a park all day could be so exhausting. BTW Maryellen he did finally pee as soon as he got in his yard. He use to do that not pee at all till home even on walks until about 2 when he learned leg lift. I thought he would have marked the heck out of the place. Wow did he pee long time.

The cops were complete jerks, and the park screwed use over royally (Oh I feel sooo bad for the poor clerk who is going to have to hear from me later when I call the parks department and demand a refund for the totally useless permit I purchased.)
I saw that American Bully - my friend who had no idea what American Bullies are asked me about the dog and I just rolled my eyes and said yeah, welcome to the new APBT fad.

Overall the day went very well except for a few 'small' hitches. I will be posting a blog with pix soon (hopefully this evening). Just wanted to make a special shout out to some key people I couldn't have done this event without, namely: Michele (and her hubby Pete) Maryellen My right-hand man (and fiance) Scott My awesome brother Anthony
