Me and Dogs *sigh* (@cesarmillan)

This whole conversation started with my friend on BBM. We were talking about dogs, and I'd mentioned wanting a pit bull, but never getting one.


Me: I like the look of pit bulls, but would never own one, and a Stafford terrier is a look alike breed with nicer colours.

Grace: Yaaaaay :D [dancing emoticon]
Grace: Are they kind? Haha.
Grace: Why you don't want a pit bull? :p

Me: Every dog's kind as long as they're raised right. I'd like a pit bull, but every community has different laws for them. Some have it so they aren't even allowed. I'd rather a dog that looks like one, and I don't need to know a community's laws before moving there. Pit bulls are treated terribly because of their name. :(

Grace: Omg. Why? :s

Me: It started with bull dogs. They were bred to fight bulls. Big strong chest and front legs, jaws that won't let go, and a short nose to get as much on as many teeth as they can. They were then bred with terriers to be faster and more agile in the ring. The sport was call bull baiting. They also were used in bear baiting. Same thing, just with bears.
Once that was made illegal, pit bulls - now a fighting breed - were turned on dogs. Dog fighting. They bred the most aggressive pit bulls to make more aggressive dogs, and then raised them terribly so all they'd want to do is kill.
All of these sports are illegal, but people still give pit bulls a bad name because of this forced breeding they've done for generations. On top of that, owners who don't know how to raise them or aren't dominant enough to keep them in line can lose control of them, and people get hurt. That, or jerks raise them and treat them bad, and then the dogs get angry and need to be corrected and trained because they were raised wrong.


I'm painfully long winded. :$

Everyone has their one perfect match.

Everyone has that one perfect person; that perfect person they're meant to search for. (NOTE: I may get a little philosophical and deep here, so just bare with me.)

When I say "person" in this sense, I mean like a personality. I don't mean, "Person A will spend their life looking for Person B." That's a bit ludicrous.
I mean "Person A is looking for a person who's personality matches theirs." There could be dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people who match the personality of each person, which makes a tad more sense. And yes, when someone finds the person they match up with, it may feel as though they've found the one person that they were meant to find, or spend their life trying to find.

So yes, everyone does have their perfect match. But no, you don't need to span the globe looking for one person; you just need to find a person with a suitable personality to yours.

*shrug* Makes sense to me.
Later.
