“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us... Continue Reading →
“Let me tell you this, someone is gonna love you so much that it will hurt. It’s gonna make them feel like their heart is a glass that is overflowing, and that they cannot contain all that they feel for you. They are gonna look up at the stars, and wonder why love couldn’t just... Continue Reading →

I happened across this beautiful letter about a most amazing dog – a pit bull. I had to share it because my grandogs – two of them – are pit bulls and they are the most amazing creatures I have ever known. Veda and Brodie live with my son and his girlfriend in SLC, UT.

They are amazing athletes in the strength of their bodies, but have the sweetest and smartest natures, loving and attentive to everything going on around them. This article makes me miss them! Enjoy….
Dear River,
I want to tell you a story about your dog, Zoe. We found her cowering at the pound. She wasn’t barking like the other dogs. She was simply laying there, looking up at us. The tag said, “lab mix” and she was slated to be killed in a week. We fell for it, thinking we were buying a lab.
She is not a lab. She is a pit bull.
As Zoe grew, we came to realize the pound had lied. I was scared. I felt irresponsible for letting this type of dog into my home. All of the stereotypes, preconceptions and worries filled my mind. Should I take her back? What would people think of us?
