IN LOVING MEMORY

On Thursday June 24, 1999 we lost one of the greatest treasures god has allowed us to have. Ceasar passed away in the early hours of the morning. Dispite the misery he had endured early on in his life, I give him back to god knowing that his last few years were filled with love & kindness. He died peacefuly in his sleep. He will be greatly missed, and always loved. Rest in peace my dear friend.

We would like you to join us in welcoming the latest addition to our family! Diablo is a red nose pit bull that was a "situation" brought home by my oldest son Joey. Diablo (named for his beautiful red brindle color) was abused & neglected (much like my beloved CZ, there was an instant bond between he & I). I took him in on the condition that we nurse him back to health & find him a good home. No sooner did he start to improve, he contracted parvo. We almost lost him if not for the vigaliance of our Vet. Dr. Lumberg & his staff. They are heaven sent. His health is improving as I write, and has found his special place as a member of our family. By nature, this breed of dog is the ideal of mans (or, womans & childrens) best friend.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! In as much as I HATE to make this request, I am pleading with all Pit Bull & AM Staff owners... PLEASE keep your babies out of your local Bark Parks (Doggie Parks). The reason I make this request is due to the ignorance of the general public! I decided one day to take my Diablo to the local doggie park & show off his beautiful looks & disposition. Diablo is quite used to making public appearances & is what you can call a local celebraty in some circles. He has been in photos & has had articles written about him in local magazines.Certainally Diablo made quite an impression on most of the folks at the park. The mommy of a young Shar-Pei named Bubbah was hugging, petting & kissing Diablo, not realizing her own dog was aware that "another dog" was recieving "his" rightful attention. In a matter of seconds after Diablo walked away, there was yelling, screaming & snarling! There was a strange man beating my Diablo over the head with a rolled up news paper screaming on the top of his lungs "LET GO, LET GO". There was my Diablo, helpless, with his entire muzzle clamped inside the mouth of the other dog, people around the park were buzzing about the "Pit Bull" attack. My son saw the whole situation from start to finish. When Diablo walked away from Buddah's mommy, the young dog lunged at Diablo. It is only natural, you do not have to be a Pit Bull to defend yourself. Yet, Buddahs mom was yelling that the same dog she had just been cuddling with, is a vicous dangerous "Pit Bull" & should NEVER have been allowed in the park. Now mind you, a Shar-Pei is a formitable contender for a dog such as Diablo, and if they [Shar-Pei] were as populas as the American Pit Bull, they would too be suffering the same stigma. As a matter of fact if anyone was to look up breeds targeted for BSL, the Shar-Pei stands right along with the Pit Bulls, Rotties, Chows & so forth. So PLEASE I ask once again, do not bring your Pit Bulls or Am Staffs to the doggie park. Public ignorance seems to outweigh owner pride. It is just not fair that a sweet friendly dog such as Diablo can only sit at the door & cry to go out & play, but untill we go to court, is only allowed out if necessary & must be muzzled (which scares the crap out of people). We as pet parents need to stand up for our babies. As long as people remain ignorant, our dogs remain in danger. Please feel free to send your love & support to Diablo at the following address
