The Mr. and I have two pit bulls: CoCo and LuLu. Before we got our older one (CoCo) I knew nothing about pit bulls other than they were always in the headlines, attacking people and generally creating havoc. I also thought they were dogs that tough gang members had for "pets".
Little did I know that our future household member would be a sweet, lazy lap dog that loves everyone she meets and is gentle with our small niece and nephew.
I know that there has been a lot of bad press surrounding pit bulls and I would like to address some of that at a later post, but right now I want to tell everyone about the Burque Babes and Bullies.
This is a group of ladies that promotes the positive and rewarding aspects of the breed and works to dispel some of their myths. All the money they raise goes to a group here in town called Responsibly Adopting Albuquerque's Pit bulls (RAAP).
How do they raise money? By selling T-shirts with the BBB logo, having fundraisers, and promoting their pin-up style calendar! The calendar is really tasteful and cute, and helps to promote the idea that these dogs aren't just for guys that want to seem tough.
