I came across this post when searching for information on Dr. Katherine Houpt, the expert quoted in the post. She has received some attention lately for performing dubious aggression test on shelter dogs that have lead to their destruction. For examples of the types of dogs she finds to be vicious click here to see video of her behavioral analysis. http://petbulls.livejournal.com/5544065.html. There are numerous dog breeds that have been bred for and are used for the purpose of intimidation and aggression (as fighting dogs and/or guard dogs). They inlcude Mastiffs, rottweillers, Akitas, Shar Pei's, American Bull dogs, dobermans, Chows, Boston terriers and bull terriers. Should we ban these breeds as well? I would argue not, as would there owners and breeding societies. Pit bulls have become the fighting dog of choice in large part because they are not an AKC recognized breed and therefore are cheap and disposable to someone interested in training dogs to slaughter each other. Virtually all serious dog attacks have at least one of three things in common, usually more: 1.) the dog was used for fighting, as a guard dog, or for intimidation, 2.) inhumane housing/care of the dog (poor socialization, kept chained or penned, made to live outside, malnourished), and 3.) not spaying or neutering. If you are interested in comprehensive dog bite related statistics, statistical analysis of the efficacy of breed specific legislation, and breed information I recommend a visit to the website for the National Canine Research Council.

Just know, I share your frustration. Such is the life of parent of an early riser. I must say, I think this is one of my favorite Julia-isms. I also have a particular fondness for the title of your post :) Something about it called my name.

]]> Comment on When Moms Go Over-The-Top: Throwing a Harry Potter B-Day Party Part One by Joules http://www.mammakaze.com/2010/02/02/when-moms-go-over-the-top-and-cant-be-stopped-by-bribes-or-meds/comment-page-1/#comment-17437 Joules Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:52:57 +0000 http://www.mammakaze.com/?p=4280#comment-17437 Love it! I threw my 16 year old a Tim Burton/ Harry Potter party a few months ago. We have tons of Harry Potter foods, drinks and candies. It is nice to do an over the top party every so often. It doesn't make you an over indulgent parent. It makes you a fun parent who loves their kid. For the guy who made the first comment, we can't hold other children's hands when it comes to life. If you want your kids to dream big you have dream big as well. Having this party is a memory that both party goers and hostesses will have for years to come. Perhaps if a child sees this party and wants one of their own it will give the other parents an opportunity to have a creative experience with their children as well. Don't be a party pooper.

You must respect all animals to receive respect back. Please educate yourself on the breed before you adopt one. I have a black female pit-mix adopted from a shelter and she gives only love because I give her only love. People are the enemy not the dog. Thank you for your time.
