A former pit owner and soon to be again

by **aophoto** » August 29th, 2008, 2:54 pm

hello all,

My name is andrew, and some might know of me, as i know some of you. I was once considered Layla's "father" and she was my first exposure to pits (although unknowingly when we got her). Since my experience with her I've become much more educated in the breed and anti-BSL. As a photography student from RIT, I did a few pit stories/projects, one on Michelle's dedication to the breed, which of course led to this forum. I've done a little photography with dogs and shows, but hope to maybe do more in the future.

While with Layla, I was involved in her development in flyball and agility and saw a completely different side of pits than what i'd heard about (rumors rumors rumors). Since I'm at a crossroads in life, I can't own a dog at the moment, but as soon as I find a place to settle down I'm sure to get one, and it most certainly will be a APBT. I joined after a long time of just reading to get more informed about training and proper care for when the day comes. Hope to get to know you all!

Welcome Andrew! I think I was supposed to be part of your story but my work schedule wouldn't permit it!

by **aophoto** » August 29th, 2008, 4:07 pm

Jenn! ah yes, i didn't realize it was you. it was my fault, ya know, procrastination and all. if i make back to rochester (which i will one day, at least to get my things) i'll see if i can maybe do some kind of follow up or expansion.

by **LMM** » August 29th, 2008, 4:13 pm

Ah it's ok, I think it was both our schedules because it was kind of short notice. Let me know though, I'm always willing to help out!

Hello and welcome :wave2:

Hi Andrew and welcome to PBT. :wave2:

If you don't want to give us any dirt on Kendall, we would be willing to hear about any of the other members that you know.

by **aophoto** » August 29th, 2008, 4:34 pm

anything that i might know you already know...

matt, wears a UNC hat (first thing i noticed since i'm a big tar heel fan), one of the only guys that runs/ran flyball, michelle was kinder than ever when i did the story, she took an hour or so out of her time during working hours, with only a days notice, and brought riggs and ruby along with her. patrick makes some mean meat on the grill and that's the extent of my knowledge.

sorry i'm not as cool and informative as you might think

Well, I will give you "COOL". :dance:

Thanks Joyce! I think you're cool too

I am, trust me. I have a thread that is 129 pages long. Feel free to start on page one and read it. :giggle:

We won't give you a quiz, though, like we do to most newbies. :dance:

Sure. Here is the quick version of the thread;

Joyce talks about nothing. Lots of people talk about nothing. Sometimes we keep a thought going for 4 or 5 posts.

That about covers it. :dance:
