hi, i'm barbra...i'm sure everyone wasn't trying to be mean...just trying desperately to get a very important point across... i've learned these people(myself included) are very passionate about their beloved pets, and about others....their reactions are for your benefit....most of these people are very well informed...i've learned sooo much from them...i too am worried about your little pitties...so many pit bulls are abused just because they are pit bulls...and don't give up PET TALK it really is an informative site and sooo much fun...
