That is so cool, and I can so relate on the husband level (as in the I cannot believe it thing). When I came across our Saint, Raja, my words to my husband were,
"Have I ever denied your hopes and dreams? If someone told you that you could have a free 60" wide screen TV, do you think I'd stand in your way?"
HIM: "Probably"
Me: "Well anyways... They take up a lot of room, but you know how I've always wanted a St. Bernard?" (My parents had fostered one when I was a kid and it was love a first sight for me).
To my amazement he thought it was a great idea. I think he was drunk, but he fell in love with Raja almost as quickly as I did (even when I was having my 2nd and 3rd thoughts of, "We can't add another dog to this household! Why did you encourage this!").
Anyhoo, I like Pitbulls. I'd probably never own one myself, but I know quite a few Pitt sweeties out there, one being my dogs best play friend.
