Is there anything more majestic than the American Pit Bull Terrier?
Wait, don't answer that.
This is where Maisy decided to settle in while were working in the yard today, readying outside stuff to move. We have no idea why.
Anyway, I figured while I'm busy packing the inside of the house, maybe you can have some fun captioning the shot below?
Am not fat. Camera adds ten pounds. Pot adds ten more.
Iz not Pit Bull, Iz Pitunia

Caroline, I haven't read Odell but I thought it sounded too much like something else to be original. Damn meatballs.

Who needs fertilizer when they've got a pit bull?
By the way... "A goal is a dream with sweat on it..." what great words to live by.
I am an editor--I can't help it--I started thinking... realized it made more sense as:
"An accomplishment is a goal with sweat on it."
But that didn't quite roll off the tongue very well. So how about...
"Success is a goal with sweat on it."
What a fantastic quote!
It appears on page 126 of 'The View from Delphi' by Jonathan Odell.
Please don't shoot the messenger.

Jen: Damn, the whole time we have lived here I was blaming the idiot neighbors' cat for that shit.
Jen: This is what happens six months after Fletch drunkenly leaves a hot dog in a flowerpot while wandering in from a Cubs game.

I know Jennifer likes her pit bulls, but paying for Madame Tussauds to design her garden statuary seems a bit over the top. Not that it's not a good likeness - it looks so real I expect it to start breathing.
