Stupid BSL!

Mom: Some people are just stupid.

You have to admit, your mom has a good point, some people are just stupid. IMO, you have to question the motives of people who bring dogs to fireworks, period. All those people, kids shrieking, all those blasts & whistles.... I don't think it's something most dogs handle very well. High potential for unpredictable behavior from a frightened/startled pet. (Of course, a small dog like Lily probably tucks under your arm & doesn't pose quite the same situation as a large dog) The cops are just there to try to keep everyone safe, dogs and people. And, like it or not, your mom is entitled to her own opinion, just as you are. Don't take it so personally.

I completely understand that, but still.. Why would someone bring a Vicious dog to fireworks? Most of the dogs I saw were alot bigger than Lily, and that's of course Why we didn't bring Roxy, but my point in the whole thing was why would they bring a vicious pit bull..

To be completely frank Im against any dog being at a fireworks display.

I really dont think its suitable for a dog to be around that kind of noise and atmosphere. I think being in that situation will probably nerve the dog up and I cant imagine them being comfy sitting there with all the loud bangs.

That wasn't a dig at you in anyway I'm just saying my thoughts.

I strongly agree with you. Who knows, maybe the police made them leave for that very reason and maybe they didn't see the other dogs? Heck, maybe those 2 people were involved in something else & were forced to leave? Maybe they weren't even forced, maybe they had a mad look because of something else? They could of left because of one or more of many many reason, all of which are unkown to us.

FYI, I do not agree with BSL either.

my old dog could have caredless about fireworks. I brought him all the time & he always slept through them snoring away. I used him as a puppy pillow lol

But ya, BSL does suck & doesn't work anyways.. Cyrus (AST) is the only pitty muzzled that I see.. however the other Pitties i see (all have been APT) are NOT friendly dogs at all!!

BUT I had a group of young people (in their late teens or early 20's) that begged to pet Cyrus & Cyrus had his muzzle on. They said they know about the stupid law & asked if they could pet him.. I said sure I'll bring him to you. Cyrus was a little scared (hes scared of everything), but he enjoyed his ear scratch, nose kiss & loved sniffing the baby! Cyrus just loves babies, kids & dogs!!
