Post Frenzy. And Banned Dogs.

I think that I have been in a big of a post frenzy lately, because over the last 24 hours I have had like 4 or 5 ideas to post on here (of course, I forgot them all).

Then I get onto Facebook today and I see that there is a list of 75 dogs that are being banned or restricted in America because they are considered somehow dangerous. *Sigh*. Does government control know no end?

So I am curious and I google search the list, which can be seen here. If you scroll down about a quarter of the way through the page you can see the list of 75 dogs. I first checked to see if my Shiba Inu is on there, and he is not. So then I checked to see if a Red Heeler was on there, and Ally is also safe. However, there was an Akita and a Blue Heeler on the list - the Akita is very closely related to my Shiba, and I think the Blue Heeler is probably closely related to Ally? 

As I was reading through the list, there were just some dogs where I thought to myself, "Seriously?"  Like, for example, the Eskimo dog. This is a cute, white, little fluffy dog. In fact, Chris and I have been considering getting one of those for a friend for Copper when we have a little more room for them to play than we do now.

Another one that was on the list is the Bouvier.  This is a large dog, yes.  In fact, it kind of looks like a schnauzer except that they go all the way up to your hip. But they are the friendliest dogs in the world. They are just big and lazy and are kind of like giant carpets.

They also had Labradors on the list. Labs? Really? Like, the friendliest, dumbest dog on the planet? Who is getting attacked by these dogs - people with beef jerky in their pockets? I just don't get it.

Anyway, I am just glad our babies haven't made the cut. Yet.
