Six, long years ago a little black puppy was born in Snohomish, WA. She was the tiniest and most adorable looking wiggle worm imaginable. I knew by two weeks old she was to come home to me. It was a grueling 10 week wait until my little Star Puppy, Lyric, was finally home. Finally to be forever with me until time took her naughty self from me. The last six years have had their ups and downs. The trials and tribulations we went through were nothing short of the amazing when we finally succeeded – especially in weight pull.
Lyric, you’ve given me your all – complete with a myriad of faults – and you’ve shown me what heart is. I truly don’t deserve the absolute adoration and love you bestow upon me daily with unfailing loyalty and devotion. You’ve not been an easy dog to live with but you’ve made the most of every moment we’ve had together. I am so proud to call you MY dog and will be blessed for years to come with your antics lighting up my life for a very long time to come.
Here is to many, many more my little Tater Tot. Happy 6th birthday, Lyric. Let’s rock this world some more.
You weren’t a planned partner. You were only supposed to be a temporary fixture in our home back in 2009 and now look at you, my sweet boy. You’ve grown roots here and came to call this place home. We don’t know much about your past but what we do know about your future.

pretty decent start to the basics and would make a fabulous prospect for obedience, agility, weight pull or any other venue you may be interested in. He has the desire to please and an off switch when it’s time to relax and chill out at home. I really can’t say enough good things about him. Unsure of how he is with other dogs and kitties but proper introductions to both should definitely be on the top list of priorities no matter what!
Every year the month of October is hailed in as a month of awareness for one of the most misunderstood, mistreated and maligned breeds of dog in modern history – the pit bull. There are many who would wish to see this breed’s future annihilated and sent into extinction but there are even greater numbers of breed advocates and aficionados who work tirelessly against the opposing side in an effort to reverse breed specific legislation that is aimed to eventually destroy the breed that is affectionately called ‘America’s Dog’ by its followers.
are a few suggestions that may get your creative juices flowing that will not only help the breed but also the community with your positive actions:
Most importantly, no matter what activities you do this month, make sure you enjoy your dog(s) and be an advocate who acts professionally and politely without being too overzealous. It is, after all, a hard pill to swallow if one is proved wrong (and something I’ve personally learned from experience many times over!).
