Hi Carol,   
      
   >> it if I'd known that.. not with our grandkids that come around here.. :( But   
   >> she let it slip in our conversation.. at that point I said, forget it, thank   
   >> for calling.   
      
   > Yeah, like they didnt tell us Apple wanted to be alpha really strong with 2   
   > full sized labs and a collie.  Way wrong for us with calm little cash.   
      
   I can understand that one.. :(  Over here, I think this is probably two   
   college students organizing this rescue in Ithaca, she sure sounded really   
   young.  I laughed when she said that any dog we got from them would have to be   
   enrolled in professional dog-training. We had a pure-bred shepherd (our first   
   dog) and I trained her myself with the book, GoodDog/BadDog..but no, this lady   
   insisted we'd have to enroll the pup in professional dog training classes   
   ... And yeah, your rescue and ours could both be a lot clearer in what they   
   know about these poor animals.. it would might help them get adopted a lot   
   faster, I'd bet.. For me, I stay away from  any pit mixes, but really that's   
   kind of silly.. there are some really laid back pits just like there are some   
   angry labs ..   
      
   >> Now we're looking to hear from this other fellow here in binghamton who has   
   >> full-breed female 7 month old lab that was mistreated.. she's reportedly ver   
   >> low-status, submissive.  She might work out.  I'll have to be careful when I   
   >> try to judge her personality..   
      
   > Worht a try!  I figure we take our time here.   
      
   I'm not in any rush either... still waiting to hear from the fellow who's got   
   her.   
      
   Meanwhile, Toby stole an entire cheese danish/coffee-cake off the table   
   yesterday but I think he had help with that because it was definitely out of   
   his reach hahaha... I'd seen LuLu, the biggest of our kittens, on the table   
   earlier in the day.. she was digging at that coffee-cake box trying to open   
   it.. I shooed her off the table and left the room.. 10 minutes later Ron and I   
   walked in the kitchen for more coffee and Ron said, hey, where'd you put the   
   coffee-cake?? He found the skeletal remains of the box and tin-foil tray in   
   the sewing room on the floor   Silly boy :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
