OK, ok everyone. As a true native born in Denver and raised around the metro area, I admit the BSL is an awful way to treat the majority because of a minority. But again, it's the city not the state and that's a lot of miles and people that don't live in Denver. I've been to a couple of shows at the new Larimer County fairgrounds and it's a beautiful location right next to the highway. It's just east of the city of Loveland where all those Valentines go to be stamped every year. It's a straight freeway shot from DIA, and you never need to step anywhere near the city limits of Denver. There is Aurora, but many are doing their best to get the proposed BSL pit ban pushed out. I agree showing those appropriate government people would go a long way to improving the reality of how good people can have good dogs regardless of breed. But also, bring in the media. Show them what a good Shepherd can do. Show the breed, obedience, agility, herding, and all of the great things these dogs can do. Invite channels 9, 7, and 4..heck even local channels to do some good publicity for all. A newspaper or two thrown in for good measure. I've lived here all of my life, and it's a great place. The weather should be beautiful, and a far fewer number than you'd expect are ever bothered by the altitude. So come on down and plan for a grand week, and do some sight seeing while you're here. The Rockies are just a short drive west. From a native and a German Shepherd fan. Pam and the pack. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
