<p>My amazing dogs do interviews now&#8230;and they try to win contests. <em>Dammit they make me smile. </em></p>
<p>Check our Potato &amp; Vito in this month&#8217;s Cleveland (Pet)romix feature. Be sure to read their interview, it&#8217;s pure hilarity. Seriously, Vito talks about creme de menthe. If that doesn&#8217;t make you laugh then you are obviously dead inside.</p>
<p>And if you can spare a sec, <a href="http://cleveland.metromix.com/events/photo_poll_gallery/pet-romix-cleveland-celebrities/2642754/content">cast your vote</a>. They love winning shit.</p>

<p>minus the whole parolees thing&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://animal.discovery.com/tv/pitbulls-and-parolees/bios/tia.html">Pitbulls &amp; Parolees </a>is a show about an A-<em>freaking</em>-MAZING woman who takes pitbulls in, and rehabilitates (<em>with the help of recent parolees</em>) them for adoption.  When I saw the name of  the show I thought, &#8216;great, this is really gonna put the pit in a good  light.&#8217;  Turned out it actually does.  The spotlight is on the pitbull and his general good nature.  The show focuses on the abuse but also highlights the fact that the dog can get better.  The  parolees help rehabilitate and they seem genuinely affected by the mistreated dogs that they come upon.   Some even seemed ashamed like the abuse is something they could have done.  The beauty of the show is that pitbulls are seen in a positive light, they are not seen as the monsters they are often portrayed as.  <a href="http://animal.discovery.com/tv/pitbulls-and-parolees/about-the-show/">Tia Torres,</a> the owner of the Villalobos Rescue Center is saving the pitbull, one at a time. <strong><em>What a woman.</em></strong></p>
<p>Potato, our pitbull, has given us so much life and happiness.  He is an amazing dog and I truly wish I could <span>adopt 10 more pitties.</span> <em>Someday.  Someday.</em></p>
<p><em>How could we not love this guy?  All he does is cuddle and sleep.</em></p>

<p><em>Veto begins his journey towards relaxation&#8230;looking for a spot, settling in, then,</em><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>squirrel</em></strong><em>!  Relaxation time is O-V-E-R.  How can a pug fox terrier sleep when there are creatures invading his backyard at any moment?  Howwwww?????</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2340" title="2009 07 27_9272_au_edited-1" src="http://www.chefswidow.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2009-07-27_9272_au_edited-11-1024x661.jpg" alt="2009 07 27_9272_au_edited-1" width="430" height="278" /></p>
<p><em>Veto contemplates his exsistence.  How can this be all there is?  Food, water, massages, and licking stuff.  There has to be more to life, there just has to!</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2341" title="2009 07 27_9274_edited-1 copy" src="http://www.chefswidow.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2009-07-27_9274_edited-1-copy.jpg" alt="2009 07 27_9274_edited-1 copy" width="429" height="306" /></p>
<p><em>Sometimes Veto gets a little amorous, especially if stinky feet are nearby.  Let the lickins&#8217; commence!</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2342" title="2009 07 27_9269_edited-1 copy" src="http://www.chefswidow.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2009-07-27_9269_edited-1-copy.jpg" alt="2009 07 27_9269_edited-1 copy" width="389" height="379" /></p>
<p><em>99% of the time Mr. Veto plays the role of serious pug fox terrier.  He is on guard at all times and if you walk on his sidewalk he will cut you (or just bark for 10 minutes at nothing).</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2344" title="2009 07 27_9276_au_edited-1" src="http://www.chefswidow.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2009-07-27_9276_au_edited-1.jpg" alt="2009 07 27_9276_au_edited-1" width="426" height="428" /></p>
<p><em>Obviously.</em></p>
