What would you think if you saw a Pit Bull Terrier walking down the street picking up litter and putting it in the garbage? Strange huh? Well, Anne Vaini and her Pit Bull Terrier Emma do just that.
Emma has been trained to pick up trash and put it in the trash bins. Keeping the streets a little cleaner and providing a positive image for Pit Bulls. I ran across this story and I couldn’t help but share it with you. Just another example of the diversity of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
You can read the full story at: Little Litter Dog: Pit Bull Doing Its Part to Keep City Clean
Hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.

Uptown Hounds of Lexington Ky is by far the most impressive dog boarding and training facility in Lexington, Ky and surrounding areas. They have training (by yours truly as well as other trainers), boarding, daycare, and grooming. I started working out of Uptown Hounds last summer and the decision to move my training operation into their building was a no-brainer.
Beautiful and squeaky clean are two descriptions that I use quite often when describing their facility. I describe Uptown Hounds like this, “Once you walk in the front door you will say, “Holy *&^&!” It is that nice. Beyond that top notch facility you have a top notch staff with owners who really care about your dog.
We have created fun training programs, their staff are all certified pet care specialist, they put their hands on your dog (in a good way) and your dog is given the 5 star luxury treatment at a great price.
My favorite part is Uptown Hounds does not discriminate against Pit Bulls. They welcome all dogs of all breeds. I was truly impressed by their willingness to work with dogs that most dog boarding facilities turn away.
If you are in or around the Lexington Ky area you should stop in for a free tour of the facility. I will likely be there training and or just hanging out in the Cafe drinking a cup of coffee.
Check Uptown Hounds out by going to Uptown Hounds Luxury Resort for Dogs in Lexington Ky.

Pit Bulls and Dog Fighting Busts: Animal Right Agencies Over Step their Authority
From Jason Mann & PitBullLovers.com
February 11th 2009
Dear Friend and Fellow Pit Bull Terrier Fancier,
I am writing you today to request that you withdraw all support for the ASPCA and HSUS. If you are donating money to these organizations please, for the love of our breed, stop right now.
There are many Pit Bull owners and animal lovers out there who willing support this organizations thinking they are doing “good works.” Sadly, these organizations are doing anything but “good works” in regards to our breed.
The HSUS has taken it upon itself to become an animal police force when in reality they do not have any legal authority to take the actions they are taking in regards to Pit Bull owners and their dogs.
With shows like Animal Cops and Miami Animal Police they are telling the viewer they are law enforcement. This is not true. In fact they do not have any legal authority at all.
Let’s take a look at a few cases where the HSUS stepped in and helped the animals.
Case #1: Floyd Boudreaux
Notorious dog fighter or victim? Actually he is both. He openly admits to fighting his dogs in the early days, when it was legal. Now though he is a famous APBT breeder and his dogs are from some of the best game dog lines out there.
Victim? Yes. Last year Floyd spent time in jail on dog fighting charges. Those charges were dropped due to the fact the authorities created false evidence. Evidence which was used to secure a warrant to raid his home and steal his dogs.
How many of his 50 plus dogs were re-homed? None. They were all put to sleep. Even the puppies. Why? No one really has given me a straight answer on this and I have asked the Louisiana ASPCA without a reply.
So Mr. Boudreaux and his son lose their dogs, whom they loved, are jailed and after the HSUS and law enforcement can’t make a case they are aquitted. It doesn’t matter, the damage is done, and the HSUS succeeded in smearing the name of a American Pit Bull Terrier fancier and steward of the breed for longer than I have been alive.
Case #2: Joe Woodall
Joe emailed me the other day and told me his story. I think it is important to share his experience here because from what I gather this is just another HSUS/ASPCA scam to steal people’s dogs and kill them without having to answer for their actions.
Mr. Woodall is fighting to get his dogs back but here is the rub. They were never charged with any dog fighting crimes but that is why their dogs were stolen.
There are many aspects to these two cases that bother me. First and foremost is lack of real evidence before the animal right organizations storm people’s homes. Second, why are law enforcement agencies allowing dogs to be taken, re-homed, or killed before anyone is charged with anything!?
My friend this is theft. Plain and simple. If I came to your home and said, “You know I think you are a dog fighter. I am taking your dogs.” Then I take your dogs, kill them, or sell them to new homes, would that be right?
No, it would be theft.
The HSUS and the ASPCA are theives who are profiting from illegal seizures of perfectly healthy animals who are well cared for and loved.
Let’s not kid ourselves. No one is a perfect angel. We all make mistakes, we all have our demons, we all have our hang ups. However that does not give the HSUS or ASPCA the right to come into a persons home, steal their property (their dogs), and sell them (adoption fees = selling a dog) or kill their dogs.
Even if someone is fighting their dogs it is still not right to steal their dogs and kill them because they say they can’t rehome them due to the fact they were used for fighting. Fighting dogs, by nature and a rule, are excellent dogs with people. And for all those lovey dovey, wishy, washy, why can’t we all get along, short bus types, who cares of a dog is dog aggressive! It doesn’t make a difference one in the grand scheme of our breed.
American Pit Bull Terriers are noble canines that deserve our respect and our love. Not our hate and contempt. Allowing anyone to come in and say, “Well you have a Pit Bull, we are going to take them now without any reason whatsoever and kill them because well, they are fighting dogs.” Is stupid and it must stop right now.
I will end this post by saying this. I am not a supporter of dog fighting. I hate it. It is a dead activity that does not belong in our society. However, I have more contempt for power hungry, law breaking, evil people like John Goodwin of the HSUS and organizations like the ASPCA than I do for dog fighters.
That’s right, these organizations are lower than the lowest animal abuser on this earth. These organizations abuse thousands of animals per day. They kill innoncent dogs and drive good people into the ground and criminalize them without ever bringing real proof they are in fact criminals. They ruin people’s good names and then they ask you for money to help support more of these actions.
As I said at the beginning of this post. If you donate to the HSUS or the ASPCA or both, stop right now.
Best Regards,

December 19th, 2008
I would like to take this time to express my views on Christmas. I, like you, have to deal with all the crazy shoppers at the malls, trying to find a parking spot only to drive around for an hour to find a spot 3 miles away, and some of the more rude people on this earth seem to pop up at this time of year.
With all the stress, worry, and crunched bank accounts I am kind of amazed there are not riots in the streets on a daily basis.
This year though I have made a vow to do three things.
1. Smile more.
2. Tell those that I love that I love them more often and express it to them by action. Saying I love you is just words unless you back it up with action.
3. Be thankful.
This year I will show up at my oldest brothers house, bearing gifts for my family, a smile, and a thankful heart.
I know it might sound corny or cliche but this year, my hope is everyone takes that one extra step to make Christmas super special, even if it’s just one person you make it special for, make the effort.
Money might be tight, the world around us might be mixed up, you may run into rude people while shopping or trying to get the parking spot at the mall, but if we take a moment to think about what really counts, is it really that important that we get that parking spot? Is it really that important that we save 20 minutes of our time by speeding?
I would like to wrap this up by saying that I love Christmas. Not because gifts are given or because cards come in the mail from friends and family, though I like those things, I love Christmas because my Savior Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day. Everything in my life I owe to God. Glory be to God and may you have a blessed Christmas.
Sincerely,
Jason, Angel, Honey, and Patch
