Hi Carol,

I can understand that one.. :(  Over here, I think this is probably two
college students organizing this rescue in Ithaca, she sure sounded really
young.  I laughed when she said that any dog we got from them would have to be
enrolled in professional dog-training. We had a pure-bred shepherd (our first
dog) and I trained her myself with the book, GoodDog/BadDog..but no, this lady
insisted we'd have to enroll the pup in professional dog training classes
... And yeah, your rescue and ours could both be a lot clearer in what they
know about these poor animals.. it would might help them get adopted a lot
faster, I'd bet.. For me, I stay away from  any pit mixes, but really that's
kind of silly.. there are some really laid back pits just like there are some
angry labs ..

I'm not in any rush either... still waiting to hear from the fellow who's got
her.

Meanwhile, Toby stole an entire cheese danish/coffee-cake off the table
yesterday but I think he had help with that because it was definitely out of
his reach hahaha... I'd seen LuLu, the biggest of our kittens, on the table
earlier in the day.. she was digging at that coffee-cake box trying to open
it.. I shooed her off the table and left the room.. 10 minutes later Ron and I
walked in the kitchen for more coffee and Ron said, hey, where'd you put the
coffee-cake?? He found the skeletal remains of the box and tin-foil tray in
the sewing room on the floor   Silly boy :)

Take care,
Janis
