The only good pit bull, is a dead pit bull.

Yes, I'm a pit bull bigot.

Certain things are just evil and need to be outlawed for the betterment of society, okay.

Cool priorities, Bueherle's.

They call those American Bullies - my sister's family has 3 of them. My nephew has one and lives in my mom's basement. Granted, I don't think it has received the proper training (nephew is 19 and has other priorities), but she's dug up the back yard, chewed away the wood on the back porch, and has to be caged when nephew's not home because he'll rip up whatever space he is left in. Can't bring our pooches when we come into visit anymore. Can't take them home to my sister's house in Shrewsbury because they are outlawed there. Niece has the other two. Took a pic of when her older one completely destroyed her boyfriend's CD collection saying "omg, she has soooo much energy, but isn't she adorable???"

I don't get it.

They won't let me have one of my dogs so I'm just going to skip out on my two children during a really important time in their development.

Right? Also, this is pretty much license to cheat for Mark, right?

Or "Hey kids, I know you're really attached to Slater but he's not allowed where dad is playing this season; so we're just going to get rid of him."

The decision was made by BOTH Buehrle and his wife who also does not want to get rid of or have someone else take care of the dog. (maybe she also wants to opportunity to cheat)

Or, "Hey kids, a company in Canada wants to pay your dad around $14,000,000 a year for the next 4 years to do a job. Only catch is we can't take the dog. Even though we have both the time and resources to find a great new home for him or even pay someone to care for him during the baseball season when we're away all while teaching you a valuable practical lesson about sacrifice and priorities, we're just gonna go ahead and separate the family for 8 months a year instead."

It's a dumb, misguided law, but this decision they've arrived at is even dumber.

Its a dog. Our family has a dog. We love the guy. He's great to have around. But he's a dog. If he got terminally ill, we'd put him down.* If I had to move some place that wouldn't take him, we'd find another family that would love to have him. He's a dog. A pet. Something nice to have around. But not the center of our universe.

*But then, I've told my wife to do the same with me.** The hell I'll let the medical-industrial complex take my kids' inheritance (what little there is).

**Because on the internet, you all can't tell that I'm a dog.
