potential donations being given to Bully Paws. If coordination of a
BBQ is to difficult...how about a meet & greet social hour / event
with a cover charge to benefit Bully Paws (the only local rescue
organization solely dedicated to saving APBTs).
At any rate, please see the following site for additional information
regarding "Pit Bull Awareness Day"!

A day to promote responsible pit bull ownership!
Calling all responsible pit bull owners, advocates and fanciers...
Please mark Saturday, October 20, 2007 on your calendars for the first
nationwide Pit Bull Awareness Day.
In light of the constant negative publicity that surrounds pit bulls,
we felt it was time to establish a day to focus on these incredible
dogs and their responsible owners. The media berates our dogs daily.
Legislators have labeled pit bull owners as the "criminal element" who
only own pit bulls to enhance their macho image.
Its time we set the record straight.
Regardless of where you are located, please join Bless the Bullys in
celebrating this wonderful breed and their devoted, responsible owners/
advocates.
Please participate in an activity on October 20, 2007 to promote and
celebrate responsible pit bull ownership. Regardless of the activity
you choose - a candlelight vigil, an educational workshop, a bully
rally, a BBQ or just a friendly get together - please sign up to
participate so people in your area know and can participate and
promote responsible ownership with you.
Its time to show the world that all pit bull owners ARE NOT alike, and
that responsible pit bull owners are no longer willing to sit back and
be judged by the image set by the visible minority of irresponsible
owners.
It will take time to reverse the damage already done, but together, we
can change the image bestowed upon our dogs (and their owners)!

As APBT owners we all need to come together to benefit the breed!
With 87 members I'm sure we could all contribute to the breed...even
if we all spared.......$10.00 or 1 hour to all come together.
As far as I know, Bully Paws is the only rescue dedicated to APBTs
within NOVA and we all have a responsibilty to save as many APBTs as
possible.
I know, I know... we all talk shit on how the breed is the best...and
we wouldn't own anything else (my words)!!! Okay, these may be my
words... but I waited 7 years to own the breed of my choice. Uncle
SAM sent me to ENGLAND. Not By choice, but UNCLE SAMs.
I have now returned after many years / tours overseas and I am
disgusted by our AMERICAN / MEDIA betrayel. Being that NOVA is home
to many APBTs / RAZORs EDGE... shouldn't we do / contribute to the
breed on this NATIONAL " PIT BULL AWARNESS DAY"?
What are your thoughts....?
