Ahh.... peace at last! I've found my colors. Baja Dunes #997 for base Rustic Taupe #999 for trim around windows It's just the right amount of contrast and I relaxed the minute I saw it go up. You were right - way too much contrast on the others, which was why I couldn't settle on it.. just didn't feel/look right. I'm so glad I slowed down and took the time to reread some of the comments made at the very beginning, of which you (astroluvr) suggested the 998 or 999 to begin with. 998 was too close to Baja Dunes. I guess I learn the hard way. So, now that is complete. What did you have in mind as far as accents? I will tell you that the Rustic Taupe as some green influence in it. You can see this more in the front of the house than in the back, for some reason. In the back it looks more like darker taupe - that's good since it goes better with the furniture back there. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I feel SO much better! I'm attaching 4 different pictures of theses colors painted on various areas of the house.This message has been edited.

The door we are going with is a metal six panel - basic, that will need to be painted. There are more limitations on the storm door. We will go with the Anderson 4000 series and it will be left on year round. Here is the link - look under Color or Finish for color options. I did check out the colors at the store and the one that closely matches Baja Dunes is Sandtone. Wineberry is very pinky. http://www.stormdoors.com/storm-doors.php I know that my husband is very open to any door color. I would lean more towards a different version of the Yorktowne or the coral - would have to be the right coral, though. I'm thinking purple would be a stretch, even though I see the vision there... but eggplant could be pretty. I just have no eggplant in my house, which is why I'd lean more towards to prior two. All my patio furniture is off the deck right now and in the barn preparing for painting, but it all has the taupe/light taupe colors in it. No other real accent colors, besides red stripes in two seats and I'm looking to change that anyway. I think we are going to just stain the whole deck. My husband is not into painting any part of it, though I'm trying to work on him for at least the railings and some other areas. For now, safe to say it will all be stained. I haven't been looking too much at that since I've been consumed with the paint scheme. Same doors on the back - just painted (not sure what yet). Thansk! | ||||
Just wanted to check in to say that the house is painted - and the trim is currently being completed. I did opt for Baja as the base (as has always been) and Rustic Taupe (2 jumps down from Baja on the color card) for the trim. We went with an apple red on the door (the same color that is on our barn). The storm door is on order and will be here within the week. I have been very pleased with the painting and really like the colors. I also purchased new lights for the front porch area and put up an outdoor ceiling fan under the porch/deck area. I'll post a picture when it is competed. The next project will be the deck and I'm trying to get my husband to like the idea of staining the floor and painting the railings - so much better on maintenance in this hot CO sun. Thanks again for all the feedback and time spent on this project. We ended up getting a lot of smaller jobs done as well, which were much needed! Can't wait to start the landscaping - I have so many ideas!!! But first, we'll finish the painting and then stain the deck This message has been edited. Last edited by: christyinco, | ||||
you may want to change out those covers on the garage windows they sort of look rather funny as that design is no where else on the house | ||||
Here are some pics of the house after it was painted. I'm still waiting on the storm door to arrive. Unfortunately, it's been very overcast the last few days so the house doesn't look very bright, plus all our vegetation is very brown due to lack of rain in CO, so my task is to add some interest with plants/pumpkins, etc. We'll do the deck next. I'm planning on doing a painted railing and stain the floor and tops of the railings. We will also be adding a trellis under the deck. Another item that may be on the list is to do something with the concrete in front of the house. I'd love to do a flagstone or something to cover where the concrete has chipped away. Maybe even just a stain - we will see. After all this we can get the furniture back in, etc. Whew, I'll be glad when this is over!This message has been edited. Last edited by: christyinco, | ||||

Sissy77 - I did consider that on the garage doors. That will have to wait. The other option was to take them out and it started looking rather bare. | ||||

Your house is lovely. Congratulations. | ||||
You did a beautiful job painting!! Well done! I wouldn't try to to introduce too many color groups personally, have you thought about a very light brown to accent? It already looks so beautiful, I wouldn't want to see you end up not enjoying the finished product. Just a thought. It is your home and you do what you will be happy with! One other thought for a pop of color is to paint your door a bright color. Your home is almost identical to mine and we have a deep maroon door on our home. Our shutters are also the maroon as well. Please let me know what you decide, painting is so exciting!!! I just looked at your pictures and realized you did exactly what we did and painted your door the maroon color so for any other accents I would stay with light brown or maroon. Excuse me for not looking at all of the pictures thoroughly before answering. I really do love what you have done with it. You have a lot to be proud of and I am certain you will enjoy it for many years to come!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: suegottey, | ||||

email@example.com worked and hated it. It was a rough week. The only thing I did remotely to celebrate if you will was read MSNs homepage about leap day facts.
I also realized two things 1)why would you want to get married on leap day and have 1/4 of a day of an anniversary every year?
2)I know a kid who was born on a leap day (and he was a twin) and didn't know either fact until last Wednesday. Weird.

Local artists make carousel for Rose Kennedy Greenway a unique flight of fancy
The carousel soon to adorn the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway in Boston- designed, sculpted, and painted by two local artists - is a horse of a different color. In fact, it doesn't include any horses at all. There is a sea turtle in mid-swim, shell hued with yellow and iridescent red, mottled flippers and feet waves of purple, pink, and blue. And there are enormous butterflies -- Monarchs with dramatic orange and black coloring; buckeyes boasting amethyst spots; swallowtails with elaborate webbed patterns of purple, blue, and red. "It's much more elaborate, much more intense," said designer and sculptor Jeff Briggs of Newburyport. "You'll never see another one like this." And painter William Rogers of Haverhill has worked to bring depth and dimension to what are essentially shaped canvases. ( 05/19/2013 3:13 AM )
Dracut voters will be asked to support override to fund schools
With just two weeks until Town Meeting, the stage has been set for a showdown between voters in Dracut who are willing to pay an average of $279 more in property taxes to boost the school department budget and those who think local educators should make ends meet without a tax hike. In this fiscally conservative town, proponents of a $2.9 million override proposed by School Committee members Daniel O'Connell and Joseph Wilkie are optimistic about their chances of convincing voters to permanently raise their taxes for the benefit of the schools. "If the override does not pass, I'll have to cut about $1 million from the budget," said Dracut Superintendent Steven Stone. ( 05/19/2013 3:12 AM )

The public outreach effort comes in advance of a planned series of votes this fall on the potential project.

Plan calls for flattening McGrath Highway in Somerville
The McCarthy Overpass on the McGrath Highway is a rusted relic of 1950s urban design and should be torn down, according to state transit planners. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is recommending the elevated portion of the highway in Somerville be rebuilt at street level. In a public meeting Wednesday in Somerville, planners outlined a proposed "boulevard" style reconstruction of the overpass that carries McGrath over several cross streets, starting north at Medford Street, and ending south at the intersection of Somerville Avenue and Medford Street. The new configuration would create new cross-street traffic intersections with crosswalks for pedestrians. Bike lanes and sidewalks would be added along the highway to make it more accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. ( 05/19/2013 3:12 AM )

Chocolate factory rezoning fails
An article to rezone the former Lowney's chocolate factory to allow it to be converted into condominiums was narrowly defeated at Town Meeting earlier this month, leaving some wondering about the future of the building.

"Say, Mr. Big Shot Priest, is that god of yours busy all the time with the problems of hunters and farmers, or does he have time for other things?"
"Of course, He does, Big Mouth Wife. Why you ask?"
"It's that son of yours. If he's not getting into your mead vat and getting snockered, he's seducing the neighbor's daughters. I can't watch him from sun to sun. Do you think your Big Boss of the Hunt could keep an eye on him?"
And so it began. Junior was to be kept in line by telling him that God saw everything he did, disapproved of most of it, and was determined to get even. Sheer genius.
Ethical monotheism did not mean that Mom was off scot-free, of course. The bolder souls have never been intimidated by a bogeyman, whether Santa Claus or a Big-Guy-in-the-Sky. The more timid souls might buy it, and millions of us did.
I had an epiphany of sorts as a young man when I sat by a campfire and listened as some of my elders recalled the peccadilloes of their youth. To a man, they were clearly proud of their exploits (especially of the sexual variety), and were anything but repentant. The group included some stalwarts of their church – the same men whose paid spokesman had assured me that a single sin merited the wrath of the God of the Universe, while they nodded in solemn agreement. Subsequent conversations with men of "good moral character" and bona fides as community pillars confirmed my suspicions. Not one regretted "sowing his wild oats," and admitted that his fondest recollections came from the indiscretions of youth.
I don't know how Tim Tebow will react when he realizes that the mass of both sexes despise and ridicule an idealist, but along with the dawning of the realization that I had been a prig, grew a certain resentment. There are good reasons for youthful chastity, but only my parents attempted to make the case.
The church adopted an avoidance conditioning based on fear and superstition rather than truth and logical consistency.
Community attitudes may not be logical, but they are predictable. A boy who will be a boy takes his chances, and has a fun-filled youth. By good fortune and the grace of God, he escapes STD and the wrath of jealous boyfriends or outraged fathers, settles down, and "finds God." He marries a good woman – who could have done better (women like "bad boys" – go figure). He becomes deacon of his church, Scout leader, and volunteer youth league coach. In time, he "sits in the gates of the city" as an esteemed elder, respected for his sagacious conduct and rectitude.
His contemporary gets it backwards. A timid priss, determined to please God and mama, he ignores the barbs of peers and does his damnedest to do right as he understands it. In middle age, he realizes that his friends have great memories of growing up while his own are a horror of guilt and alienation. Far from prizing his fidelity, his wife finds him a bore, and his acquaintances are condescending. When he strikes out in rebellion, he becomes a reprobate, an apostate, and the unkindest cut of all – an "Old Fool."
In morality, as in comedy, timing is everything.

2 trying for Jacksonville council seat
Two hopefuls are vying for a spot on the Jacksonville City Council.
Phil Huttash is challenging incumbent Billy McDonald for the District 3 position, which entails the eastern part of the city. Huttash, 66, owns Huttash Paint & Body Shop, while McDonald, 56, serves as manager of The Oil Exchange.
Huttash, whose father was a city councilman, said he always wanted to run.
He considered running before, he said, but decided not to after his friend chose to run. Now, he said a lot of friends are telling him he needs to.
"I care about Jacksonville. ... I was running out of time (at) 66 years old and just wanted to do it and help the city," Huttash said.
He added, "The city's in pretty good shape ... (but) communication between government and citizens should be a little better, and I think I can help out with that."
He said he also listens well to people and possesses common sense.
Huttash served as a volunteer firefighter in Jacksonville, and his late wife worked for Jacksonville ISD. He has two daughters as well as grandchildren.
Meanwhile, McDonald said many residents asked him to run again.
He said there's not necessarily one key issue that needs to be addressed, but it is about the city continuing on the same path.
For instance, he said the tax rate hasn't increased in the last couple years, and Jacksonville put a lot of money back into the utility fund, so the city shouldn't have to borrow if a significant utility problem comes up. He also referenced recent renovations to the Jacksonville athletic complex.
And right now, he said a committee is looking toward a proposed civic center project, which he favors.
"I believe it could help the city tremendously as far as bringing people to Jacksonville," he said, adding that hotel owners have asked about getting more people to spend the night in town on a consistent basis.
McDonald also has his own take on how he addresses the city and residents: "Right's right, and wrong's wrong; and if we have a problem, let's correct it."
The father of four has been a member of the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. And when he was president of the Jacksonville Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, he said laptops were put in law enforcement vehicles, among other initiatives.

With the early arrival of the Easter Bank Holiday, families looking to get away whilst schools are out have had to pay out even earlier than usually
LONDON, March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
With Easter falling on March 31st this year, the earliest since 2008, families looking for a trip away during the Easter holidays will have to pay out even earlier than previous years - for some just two 'pay days' after Christmas.
Leading car hire comparator, http://www.121carhire.com, is urging families to book early to find the cheapest deals; minimizing the impact that losing that extra pay will have on family's finances.
Michael Bond of 121carhire.com said: "Many families do lose a 'pay day' when Easter arrives in March and this means they must search around more for the best deals so they can still take that much needed break during the holidays. Booking early and using tools such as comparison sites to find deals will help keep the costs down."
Although it's not uncommon for Easter to arrive in March it usually falls in April giving families that extra bit of time after Christmas to save for a week away during school holidays. Easter cannot fall any earlier than March 22nd but will not arrive again in March until 2016, followed then by 2024.
The most popular holiday destinations for car hire during Easter 2013 found by http://www.121carhire.com is currently:

EA has made a number of domain registrations for something called Plants vs Zombies Adventure, as dug up by industry gumshoe Superannuation. The registrations were all made in early March. There's no indication whatsoever what it might be, but given PopCap's recent liking for Facebook spin-offs of its properties, like Bejeweled Blitz, I'm putting $5 on "social game" – however it may be worth dusting off this old rumour about a multiplayer shooter set in the PvZ universe.

UTKevinAcee @UTKevinAcee Seems like it's down to Jimmy Raye & Tom Telesco as possible GMs, though hearing Steve Keim (interviewing today) is friend of John Spanos.
Keim is a very very good candidate and if he can work well with his boss, all the better. Say its crap after the candidates are picked
Well worth repeating . I also said that Kaeding was a choke artist and Matthews was a bust. I will just add this my I told you so list.
Report: Heckert cancels interview with JetsPosted by Mike Florio on January 5, 2013, 7:10 AM ESTThe disclosure of Rex Ryan's wife-in-Sanchez-jersey-while-Tebowing tattoo could be having its intended effect, even if the effect wasn't specifically intended.According to Newsday, former Browns and Eagles G.M. Tom Heckert has canceled his interview for the vacant G.M. job in New York.Bob Glauber of Newsday notes via Twitter that Heckert was concerned about the team's cap situation, and not about having to work with Ryan. There's a chance Heckert, who could be a candidate to join the Chiefs, is merely taking the high road.Regardless, the wide net that the Jets have cast with the assistance of NFL headhunter Jed Hughes (who if he's being paid by the hour has no incentive to keep the field narrow) may need to get a little wider.
Just a note........ The Chargers are in NY, so they will interview Tom Gamble. No deal has been done with the Jets at this point.
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/sto...mble-favorite-become-new-york-jets-gm-sources Tom Gamble top candidate for Jets
Gamble closes in on Jets G.M. job Posted by Mike Florio on January 6, 2013, 1:07 PM EST The New York Jets could soon have a new General Manager, who may or may not celebrate the move with the addition of a tattoo to his arm. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble has passed on a second interview with the Jaguars, telling them that he's focused on the G.M. gig in New York. Albert Breer of NFL Network reports that Gamble has delayed an interview with the Chargers, which is being interpreted as another sign that Gamble is getting ready to join the Jets. Gamble is regarded as one of the hottest G.M. candidates on the market, thanks to his role in building a powerhouse roster in San Francisco. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/
Not sure what would be so attractive about the Jets job, other than money. They are in cap hell, due to their win now strategy. Gamble must really like a challenge.
Chargers almost set on GM, moving into coach search The Chargers have talked to almost everyone they believe they need to or will get a chance to talk to, and their search for a new general manager is almost certainly down to two men. Jimmy Raye, the Chargers' Director of Player Personnel, or Tom Telesco, the Indianapolis Colts' Vice President of Football Operations, will likely be named as A.J. Smith's successor in "a day or two," according to a team source. The Chargers brass – consisting of president Dean Spanos and his son, John, the team's director of college scouting, vice president Ed McGuire and consultant Ron Wolf -- hit the road on Thursday and returned to San Diego on Sunday. On the trip, they interviewed Telesco and New York Giants Director of College Scouting Marc Ross. They also flew to Phoenix on Saturday for what was presumed to be an interview with Steve Keim, the Arizona Cardinals Vice President of Player Personnel. But the Chargers executives actually went to Arizona for a Saturday night dinner with Doug Marrone, who early Sunday morning agreed to become the Buffalo Bills' head coach. The Chargers were extremely impressed with Marrone, who had been head coach at Syracuse University, but he appeared to have already made up his mind by the time he met with the Chargers. A team source emphasized Saturday night's meeting was not an interview but a chance to get to know Marrone and express interest in interviewing him next week. The Chargers are just today preparing their letters to officially request permission to speak to potential head coaching candidates who are currently employed by other NFL teams. At or near the top of that list, regardless of whether Telesco is the new GM, is Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. The Chargers had not previously inquired about Arians or other candidates because they wanted to get their GM in place first. Discussions with the GM candidates revealed their list of possible head coaches largely overlapped and that whoever the GM is, the head coach candidates will be the "same guys." One person who was never on the Chargers' radar was former Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid, who agreed last week to become the Kansas City Chiefs' Head Coach. One team source said yesterday that the Chargers are "ready for a change" with the new head coach they hire, further indicating that person will be a departure from both Norv Turner and Marty Schottenheimer in terms of hiring someone who has not already been a head coach multiple times. The Chargers did receive permission to speak with three more candidates and have interviews still scheduled with two of them. But Raye has always been viewed as a frontrunner, and Telesco was termed by one source as "very impressive." Further, the remaining candidates are also in line for jobs elsewhere. Tom Gamble, the San Francisco 49ers' Director of Player Personnel, is believed headed to the New York Jets. Gamble declined a second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars and "postponed" his interview with the Chargers. Keim and Atlanta Falcons Director of Player Personnel Dave Caldwell are reportedly finalists for the GM job in Jacksonville. "There are a lot of moving parts," the source said.
Well then, hope it's Jimmy Raye or Marc Ross. I love that quote in that article.. We'll be moving away from coach who's been around a while.
I'll say this, I prefer Raye to Telesco. At least Raye is on record as having disagreed with AJ on several picks. Telesco scares the pish out of me because looking at his resume he looks identical to a complete redux of AJ (cut his teeth as a scout for Bill Polian, when the Polian front office was run out of town he was allowed to stick around)... and quite frankly I've never been a fan of Polian's methodology for adding talent to rosters to begin with - far too much focus on investing premium picks in skill position or luxury players which is not what we need right now.
Ha, I have accepted that this will happen from the start. You know Dean can't get shat right, even with a "consultant". Raye = Mora Tolesco = Arians
Do u have any sources for that or is it just something you heard? I agree that Telesco scares me on many fronts, especially because he was a guy who already comes with a HC guaranteed almost. I'm really hoping that Ross makes a favorable impression, but i've always found it strange that he has interviewed for almost every one of the open GM positions in the last 2 years and has yet to be a candidate that gets serious consideration for any job. Theres gotta be a reason for that...
If thats the truth then it sounds like there will be no HC interviews, that this whole little show of hiring the GM before the coach was just that...a show. You can't tell me Jimmy Raye is going to put his career on the line for a 2 time failure like Mora, the same way AJ did with Norv Turner.
I am just speculating of course. I am on record saying that this is all a PR show. But it does make sense that Toleso would want Arians. As for Raye, I am sure that the Spanos clan will tell him who he can hire.
Hopefully Mora and Holmgren are just rumors Reporter: "hey would you coach the Chargers?" Mora "uh yeah sure?!?!?!" Reporter "Chargers all in on Mora, Boom Baby! turning another article into gold"
Who in the hell in their right mind would want Mora except maybe a Spanos. It sure makes Telesco = Arians look better.
I can't see Holmgren being a real candidate. Stranger things have happened though. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/53524/mike-holmgren-in-mix-in-san-diego
Official Update from President Dean Spanos on GM Search http://www.chargers.com/news/articl...M-Search/97c1bfaf-c42d-4b49-95ac-1620774798c7
Stuff like this simply makes me laugh. Just cause Wolf is now a consultant, and worked with Holmgren in Green Bay doesn't mean were gonna hire the damn guy. If thats the case, then why isn't Mike Sherman in the mix? I hate articles like that.. And I'm pretty positive Holmgren is on record saying, if it isn't the Cowboys, he isn't interested.

Optimized Bite® Dental Training
Founder and Director
Clayton A. Chan, DDS, MICCMO
Dr. Clayton Chan founded the Optimized Bite® Dental Training and Education in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since opening its doors in 2008 as the first to offer advanced Optimized Bite® training to dentist from around the world, this training center has become the prime coaching resource for top clinicians, organizational leaders of peer review, delegates, dental societies, dental board examiners and world champion dentist to tri-athletes, Olympians, performance shooters, mixed martial arts and recreational athletes alike. Dr. Chan's focused coaching and warm personality brings his professional dental training as a pioneer, teacher and educator and a doctor of the mouth to life. His brilliant technical teaching style allows his students to learn in an open positive environment the science and art of bite optimization. Dr. Chan is an inspiration to nearly everyone he meets, causing dentist to excel and re-examine their present mind set, occlusal philosophies, understanding and skills to reach higher levels, and motivating both advanced and beginners to believe in their knowledge, skills and abilities to excel.
Dr. Clayton Chan received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1988 from Loma Linda Unversity, School of Dentistry in Loma Linda, California. Before starting his own teaching and training center in Las Vegas, he was a trained laboratory technician and worked as associate scientist with a major dental products company (Kerr, Sybron Corporation). He furthered his dental background practiced gnathologics as well as neuromuscular dentistry in San Diego, California and became the director of neuromuscular dentistry at the Las Vegas Institute. In current practice, Dr. Chan continues to focus on performance-based Orthopedic Bite Management Dentistry with an emphasis on training clinicians who work with elite level sport and performance athletes as well as dysfunctional TMD, restorative and orthodontic patients. His clients see exceptional results from his progressive blend of gnathology and neuromuscular performance Optimized Bite and occlusal management training.
Dr. Chan has Mastership status with the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics, received his Master and Fellowship with Las Vegas Institute and achieved Diplomat status with The College of Forensic Orthopedics (Dipl. CFO), The American Board of Forensic Examiners (DABFE), The American Board of Forensic Dentistry (DABFD) and The American Board of Forensic Medicine (DABFM).
Level 1 – Advanced Optimized Bite™ Education and Training: Part I
Level 1 – The Level One program (Advanced Principles of Physiologic Occlusion) is designed to train doctors on advanced and scientific and objectively measured techniques in Optimized Bite™ techniques and physiologic occlusion. Doctors learn specific protocols and techniques combined with low frequency TENS to achieve a high level of results for their patients and elite athlete clients. Doctors who fulfill the requirements of Level 1 are certified by Dr. Chan in these advanced physiologic occlusion techniques to progress to the next level of advanced training in bite optimization using calibrated jaw tracking technology.
This training fulfills the basic requirements for AgilityGuard Trophy doctors.
For more information on: Level 1 Course – Advanced Principles of Physiologic Occlusion
Advanced K7 Instrumentation Training – Elite – Part II
Advanced K7 instrumentation training established by Dr. Chan takes doctors to a higher level of awareness and skill using K7 jaw tracking and TENS technology (Chan Optimized Bite® Dentistry) to refine their Level 1 abilities to still a higher level (similar to the elite military sharp shooters who use long and short range scopes and instrumentation to precisely hit the target in shooting practice regardless of weather conditions). Without the aid of high tech jaw tracking instrumentation combined with low frequency TENS it is impossible to meet the high standards of precision and accuracy. Being on the elite team of specialized Optimized Bite doctors requires advanced training. The human body recognizes small differences in the bite controlled by proprioception. Advanced training requires foundational knowledge, understanding and learning to perfect ones comprehension of the use instrumentation to blend both clinical observations with objective scientific technology to reach the goals of physiologic health and optimal performance.
This series of didactive and classroom training meets the certification training standards for dentist who own K7 instrumentation and requirements to be the Elite Triumphant K7 AgilityGuard provider (Qualified only at Occlusion Connections™).

My computer froze up and getting to vital data was not possible. My brother recommended calling this company for computer service and they tried guiding me to a fix over the phone.

Pit bull owners angry their dogs maligned, praise their companions
When Eric Stanton's young daughter plays with the family American Staffordshire terrier — sometimes call a pit bull by people who don't know the breed — the dog just moves out of the way.
Pit bull-type dogs have recently been the subject of discussion in Waterford Township, where the dogs are banned by ordinance. Royal Oak is also weighing whether to alter its dog ordinances.
"The owners give them their bad rap. Some people lock dogs out back and don't socialize them at all," said Stanton, who has owned his dog, Jerry, for 10 years. "They really are great dogs."
Many owners of bully breed dogs — including mastiffs and bulldogs — sing the praises of the dogs.
Stanton regularly takes Jerry to concerts in the park.
"I've seen parents grab their kids (away from the dog), afraid something will happen," he said. "A lot of other kids (strangers) will ask, 'Can we pet him?' The parents who grabbed their kids then see other kids petting him. You just have to get used to (bully dogs) on their own pace."
Stanton, 41, an insurance agent, loves the breed.
"Jerry's never shown any aggression," he said, adding he takes his bully dogs "everywhere."
He said the secret to having a calm, loving dog is socialization.
"We picked him up when he was a puppy and we've been going to the dog park since then," said Stanton. The Stantons foster other dogs, too. Continued...
"If he walks past another dog, he just keeps on walking. He doesn't want to get into a fight," said Stanton, who said he's never been bitten.
Terry Hodskins is ready to see Waterford end its pit bull ban.
"These are very loyal, smart, affectionate dogs who love to be with their people," said Hodskins, a White Lake resident who works with the Michigan Pit Bull Education Project.
Hodskins has rescued hundreds of pit bulls in the past eight years, she said.
"At first I worked in Pontiac," she said. "I kept one of the dogs we found chained. She's the love of my life."
She admits being leery of the dogs at first. "But then I fell in love," she said.
She has researched the dogs and will present a proposed change to Waterford's pit bull ban to the township board on Feb. 24.
Another group, called O.D.O.G.s (the Oakland County Dog Ownership Group) has also proposed changes to the ban, with an emphasis on responsible ownership.
Hodskins urges people to do their own homework, pointing out groups such as the Michigan Humane Society have stated breed-specific regulations do not work, she said.
Hodskins said she has not been bitten by any of her dogs. Continued...
"It's a breed that has been misidentified, and that's a big issue," she said. "They're so sweet, not people-killers."
Fred Wagner and his family have owned Shyba, an American Staffordshire Terrier, for nearly three years.
"My dogs are trained since puppies to behave a certain way," said Wagner, a chef who lives in Waterford, He said he has not had problems with the breed.
"The proof is in the pudding with my dogs and any dog. The dog is a reflection of the owner or trainer. If the owner is a jerk or less than scrupulous person, that's what the dog is going to be."
Wagner and wife Michelle adopted Shyba from an Ohio rescue organization.
"Our children have been with bully breeds since they were born, and my daughter is 15 and my son, 12," said Wagner. "All of our dogs have been rescue dogs."
Staffordshire terriers, he said, are high-strung and need exercise to let out nervous energy. "If you don't walk them, they can't contain themselves," he said. He said some terriers prefer to be the only dog in a household. The rescue group he works with, Detroit-based Home FurEver, works with dogs that are not aggressive toward humans.
Wagner believes the bully breeds have been maligned through the years.
"They are loyal and easily trainable," he said. "They're always wanting to work. At their core they are hole-hunters, dogs who aren't afraid to go down a hole. Shyba likes to tunnel under bed covers."
Wagner keeps his dogs in a crate during their training period. Continued...
"We train them on a lead to walk appropriately without pulling," he said. "That's the No. 1 lesson. It takes patience."
People with the Michigan Pit Bull Education Project plan to speak about pit bulls and dog regulations before the Waterford Township Board at 6 p.m. Monday at town hall, 5200 Civic Center Drive, Waterford Township.
