Pit Bull Peeps to Would-Be Veep: Leave Our Breed Out of It!

Oddly, the McCain Campaign's response to a request for comment was "Gov. Palin does in fact have one thing in common with a pitbull: neither is capable of answering questions from reporters." Doesn't seem like something they'd be proud of.

Has any reporter ever attempted to interview a Pit Bull? I suspect Daddy, Ceser Milan's famous Pit Bull would be willing to do a press conference.

Chauncy, a Dog and My Friend

I took Chauncy for a walk this afternoon. We went down to the L.A. River and walked along its upper bank. He peed, I pondered, he shit, I scooped it up in a plastic bag. Friends do things like that for one another, and for the river as well.

I must be working out some strange karma, because many people came up to me on the river with odd requests and offers pertaining to Chauncy. One fellow wanted me to sell "the dog" for medical experiments. I declined. Another suggested, with some conditioning work, Chauncy might be put to use in a dog fighting ring--a little torture here, a little baiting there, and he just might prove to be a gamer. Chauncy growled. I shook my head no. The man moved along.
