Hello there, and welcome to A-PI-TO-ME (A PIT TO ME) This blog is dedicated to changing perceptions about the most mistreated and misunderstood dog on the planet the American Pit Bull Terrier. It is also here to support anyone trying to abolish BSL. However all dog lovers are welcome here I do not discriminate against any breeds I love them all!
BSL needs to be put where it belongs in the trash! If you work with a rescue group and would like to post to my blog by all means please send an email to holly.c@shaw.ca and I will be glad to help! I also have a YouTube channel under the screen name “pitbullowner4″ I am not an expert or a certified trainer (Yet) I will however do my level best to get the most truthful, correct, and up to date info to you. Should anyone have any questions, I will consult with vets and certified trainers to get you the answers you need.
Animal abuse is an issue that I take very seriously! If you abuse animals, the elderly, or children you are filth in my book! I work tirelessly to educate on and end animal abuse and neglect, if you can’t commit to the lifetime of your pet don’t get one! Pets are not here for us to poses, or for our entertainment, they feel, they love, they hurt! Be kind or you’re on my radar!
The opinions I express are just that “Opinions” they are based on my experiences with dogs in general, and or my point of view only. I have owned dogs for thirty plus years, I have trained most of them myself, and I have never met an un-trainable dog. I look at a dogs potential, not their limitations, the only limitations they have are the ones we place on them!
Any answers given to questions must be taken in the understanding that I accept no responsibility or liability as I am not an “expert”. With that said I will do everything in my power to assure you get the best info out there. All comments are welcome but keep in mind that if you are here to start a fight or be nasty, you need to go somewhere else!
Thanks very much and enjoy!

So glad I found your blog! I live on the Western slope of Colorado. (we don’t have a breed ban)I have gone to Denver for the breed ban protest at city hall in 2009,and many of us residing on the Western slope tried very hard to get the word out about Hickenlooper before he won the election for Governor.I cannot take my female pittie “Sofia” to Denver,because I would risk her being confiscated.No dollars for Denver.We all have to get the word out, and do everything we can to educate people about pitbulls, and change the tide.I think your writing style is fresh,honest and to the point.I will enjoy reading and contributing to your blog!

Hi Kori, and thanks, I sure hope that in the future, denver will come to it’s sense and realize that breed bans simply don’t work, and aim the scope in the wrong direction. Many states and provinces with the USA and Canada are realizing that placing the focus on the “owner” is much more effective. I hope one day you CAN take Sofia to Denver safely and without bias! Keep speaking out and demanding change!
