It is probably hard to believe since A and I write a blog and share our lives online, that we are actually quite introverted.
We did meet quite a few people when we had Miss M because of her big personality, but it was really after we adopted Mr. B and started walking with two pooches that people would stare at us, make obvious head swivels, and come over running to meet us.
Thanks to the pooches we were taken out of our comfort zone and met a lot of great people. It was pretty uncomfortable in the beginning when we would walk through the bar and restaurant areas and people would turn to stare, nudge their friends to look, then it would be a whole group of people staring at the pooches. Eventually we accepted the stares and now we welcome them, because it seems like more people have accepted our pooches and pit bulls in general as a great breed of dog, just like every breed.
We love the compliments that people give our dogs, though we don't know how to respond when they tell us that our pooches are beautiful, we usually say thanks even though we had nothing to do with their looks.
We especially love when people have questions about living with big dogs in the city or misconceptions about pit bulls. These questions were the main reason we started the blog.
We are quite grateful for the community of amazing people we have met through the pooches and though we are still quite introverted we love the opportunity to meet new people.

We still can't believe it's been like
this and
this.
