I'm not going to post the ad that came before my response. Basically it's another dog site I frequent and someone posted a thread about their leather goods. There were several photos of both AmBulls and mastiffs. Spiked full harnesses that say "Gladiator". Heavy chains and nasty looking spikes...this was my response, that got kudos from several other readers...
I don't want to get edited for colorful language...but %&*& H. Christmas on a Raft...
I know I'm old and even with a great number of tattoos I'm totally out of touch with modern culture...
<<<okay taking deep breathes to compose myself>>>
I must say you do lovely leatherwork and I've been known to wear leather cuffs meself.
...but as a bully advocate...those pictures make me a bit queasy, okay they make me gag.
Our dogs are imposing looking as &%$& to begin with. Those of us who advocate for them are trying to drastically alter people's perceptions of bullies as demon dogs. Spikes and heavy chains and leather...give them a name like Psycho or Manson and yep you got the perfect bad*** pup.
<<<sarcasm is not productive here>>>
Just...if you want to pierce your face and have neck tats and pose on your bike it's all good...I don't expect you to put Brutus in pink cheetah print but just try to understand what I'm saying here, just a bit, maybe not now but someday. There I've said my piece.
