NO BSL
Look what I received today in the mail from a dearest friend in Canada. Conners sent me this "All Breeds Equal Stop BSL" bracelet, along with a special card (that actually helped more than intended, but that's another story). That was really cool. Now when I take Storm to places, I can wear my bracelet and she can wear her "Be Kind" collar. I'll have to get some pics of that when we go out again.
Thank you Connie!

That was so nice of your friend Conner.
Lately, we've been tring to explain to people here in HK the wrongness of BSL. To not be sterotypical towards doggies as they've seen themselves that some goldies can have a terrible temperament whilst (for example) the 'ferocious' Husky can be sweet as can be!
Can't say it enough. It's not the breed, its up to us the 'owners' to properly breed and train our furkids.
Keep smiling!
totally no idea what's a BSL.
u looked really excited. congrats! :)
I'm so sorry I have been down for the count and never got to even see this. How sweet of you to thank me this way Andee. You are a wonderful friend and VERY loved. Always remember that.
Jelly Fish, the BSL is Breed Specific Legislation. That means they are making it illegal to own certain dogs such as sweet Storm and my own Shasta.
Here were I love in London, Ontario, they have banned our kinds of dogs, but under very strict regulations we that have already had our dogs and keep to the requirements (VERY STRICT) may keep them under what they call the Grandfather Clause.
If one small incident happens, such as my young 3 year old grandson lets Shasta out accidently, that could mean very bad trouble for both me and Shasta. It could even mean her death and me paying up to $10,000.00 and up to 6 months in jail.
The BSL is WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
To have a Dangerous Dog act make more sence. But with the BSL, we and our dogs are guilty of crime we have never committed and basically treated like criminals all because we own a very loving, sweet dog that the government doesn't like and says is dangerous. It's BULL...and I don't mean Pit bull.
I hope I answered your question as I know Andee isn't feeling any better as me at this moment.
Andee, my prayers are with you! Love you hon.
It's been sometime since your last post and was wondering if you're fine.
Leave us a comment if you can!
Thinking of you two.
Pete and family
Hey Storm,
Is your mum out riding her her toy,
tell her we said hi,and hope all is well.
Like me you took a shot break! Glad to have you back! What a sweet and caring gift.
Jellyfish, Like Conner said it is unfair law to responsible pet owners.
BSL- means: Breeds Specific legislation(a very iniquitous law)
It is a law passed in a town that has to do with a specific breed(a favorite target being the Rottweilers & Pit Bulls! They are passed because people are afraid! The law punishes all the dogs of that breed, good and bad as a whole. And many of these dogs are sweet tempered dogs.
The Tame version of the law is: Often anyone owning such a breed- must have them spayed/neutered, restrained with muzzle and leash at all times, and may needs to take out a hefty insurance policy on their dog!
The less tame version: All dogs of that breed will be destroyed if in a humane society. And they are not allowed to live within the city limits. The reason the Rottwellers & Pits are targeted ... is because they can be powerful and vicious if in a bad & uncaring pet owners hands and they get a lot of bad press and news coverage which only FEEDS the fear of these breeds!
Hope you don't mind I added my 2 cents worth. I wish you well in changing this unfair BSL ... I think the BSL is BS crapola!!
I love it! Where can I get one???
Laura
That is a GREAT bracelet! I'll ask her where she got it!
