today's blog is about family, heartbreak and realizing your dreams. they are all connected by not in a negative way.
so this year I got married and as a wedding gift my wife got me a dog. not just any dog but a pitbull. I have had great expiriences with this breed and have always wanted one. We did our home work and learned what we needed to know in order to raise her correctly. And yes she is perfectly trained and in fact she is on her way to being a therapy dog. Because of Stella I have been offered a job as a dog trainer and of course I took this offer. It is very rewarding to meet other people and families and help them train their dog. Likewise it is rewarding to have them meet stella because they are blown away by how well she's trained and how loving and caring she is.
I knew that pitbulls are very loyal, loving, and caring dogs but nothing prepared me for how much stella has done for me. Many people don't know that I am very ant-social, bi-polar and manic depressive. Now with the support of my wife and stella I can say i'm in the best mental health of my life with no help from drugs or doctors.
Our friend adopted a blue nose pitbull but her mom became very ill and could not help care for roxy. so we fostered roxy. this was heartbreaking because roxy and stella were two peas in a pod but our apt complex would not let us keep two dogs and our two cats. so we found roxy a new home.
Of course we battle every day with the pitbull stereotype and this breaks my heart because stella is honestly the most loving dog. hence why she is on her way to becoming a therapy dog. Just last night I was watching the National Geographic channel and they covered an update on the Vick dogs but they went into detail on what they built the case around. This just pissed me off because I do not understand how anyone can do that to a dog.
This brings us to my wife and I realizing our dreams......we want to open a dog rescue, rehabilitation and training center. The only thing stopping us is the lack of money to do so with. But we are on the 3 year plan; in 3 years we will be living our dream and rescuing dogs of all breeds with aggression issues

that sounds awesome. I, too, hope to have a raised and trained therapy dog some day! I have seen how much of an impact that they can have on people, and it's truly a blessing. Good luck!
