As many of you know, Joe and I have a pitbull named Maia. She is a really great dog, despite a minor lack of manners and she's a little gassy. Today, we found out that we cannot take Maia with us to Germany. Apparently, all pitbulls are banned across Europe. This leaves us looking for a foster parent for her.
It's tough because she is a big dog of a breed whose reputation has been tarnished by people who breed irresponsibly and fight dogs like Maia; horrible people like Michael Vick. Before the 90's, pits were known as nanny dogs because they are so good with children. Then people come along and misbred and mistrained these wonderful dogs; using their desire to please to make them into weapons. Sigh. It's a very tough time for us right now.
