Even though the cheerful holiday season is here, there are still many that will have a Blue Christmas. Some of those that won’t sing I’ll Be Home for Christmas are the many dogs in our nation’s animal shelters. I have worked in animal welfare for more than two decades now, and I know that the surrender of pets doesn’t stop just because of the holidays.
So why not make it a Blue Christmas - a Blue Pitbull Christmas! It seems there is always a blue Pitbull or two in the shelter where I do the adoption photography. Blue American Pitbull Terriers are a very popular breed and color, so unfortunately people breed too many of them in order to sell them. Sadly, many end up in shelters once they get past that adorable puppy stage. Pitbull Terriers are very smart dogs and they can be easily and quickly trained. Their muscular build makes them great for people that love outdoor activities such as hiking or running. And the blue Pitbulls are so gorgeous with their sleek, steel-colored coats, they’ll always turn heads. And if you live alone, you’ll have a much greater sense of security having a dog share the house with you! So if you’ll be home for the holidays, why not bring a Blue Pitbull home for the holidays too? I’m sure you have an animal shelter or humane society in your city. And chances are that there’s a pitbull or two waiting there to be adopted – maybe even a gorgeous blue one! So make this a Blue Christmas and adopt a blue American Pitbull Terrier!

"King" was surrendered to an animal control officer by his owner on December 7, 2022. We went outside together for his adoption photography session the next day. He was all play and had a great, happy personality. He was adopted into a new home just in time for Christmas on December 21, 2022!

A note from his adopter:
Update on Ghost - He is doing very well. He weighs 62lbs now, was 56lbs per vet records when he got neutered. We are working on his jumping, his mouthing and pulling on the leash. He is a 6 month old stuck in a 1 yr old body, very rambunctious, but nothing we cannot handle. We are also working with him on socialization with people. Currently, he does not like anyone other than myself and my fiancé in the home. We have to take him outside to meet new people before they come in, but that takes about 10-15mins for him to warm up to someone new. Once he meets outside, we will walk into our home and he is still a little uneasy when they enter the home, but no aggression. Again, we are working on this with him. Since he received his vaccines yesterday, I brought him to work with me and he is doing very well so far. Hasn't met a stranger at the Animal Shelter (no worries, I have my own office and he has roam of that). He is a great cuddle bug at night, but when it is time to kennel him for bedtime, he starts crying and will pout, but once in the kennel he falls asleep fast. All in all, we have a lot of training to do with him and only having him in our care for almost 2 weeks, he has learned some new commands. We know this is a work in progress and we are following the 3's, 3 days-3weeks-3months. We know we needed Ghost in our lives and Ghost needed us in his life. Thank you again for letting us adopt him. I have attached some photos of Ghost.

Shelter ID#: 10525 Okefenokee Photography by William Wise. A nature photo journal exploration of Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp, the Land of Trembling Earth, one of the largest blackwater swamps in North America. The alligators, birds, snakes and wildlife of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. -- "What a wildly wonderful world, God! You made it all, with Wisdom at Your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations." Psalms 104 The Message On the last day of my Fall 2022 solo Okefenokee paddle, I launched from Kingfisher Landing on the east side of the swamp to explore green canoe trail southward through Durden Prairie. I turned around at the 5 mile marker. This portion of the Okefenokee is lined with tall Pitcher Plants and yellow wildflowers. Red Canoe Trail, Mile 0-2Green Trail, mile 2-3After paddling a mile from the Kingfisher Landing launch, the canoe trail splits. The red trail continues northward through Carter Prairie and continues many miles to Maul Hammock, Big Water, through Minnie's Lake and down to Billy's Lake. I chose to go southward along the green trail, not having paddled this route before. The green trail eventually takes you to Floyd's Island. I was delighted to see a few patches of Water Shield as I paddled the narrow channel. But my excitement soon faded as it became so thick that the trolling motor was useless and paddling was a challenge! Green Trail, mile 3-4I was quickly becoming a bit jaded fighting with the sphagnum and water shield, all without seeing much in the way of birds and wildlife. But as I considered turning back, the Okefenokee threw out another surprise as I saw two, possibly three, River Otters swimming the narrow channel. Two disappeared into the vegetation, but one was quite curious and stay ahead of me for a quarter mile, constantly diving and resurfacing to check me out. Green Trail, Mile 4-5Green Trail, Return PaddleAfter reaching the five-mile marker, I reluctantly turned back and made the last leg of my Fall paddle through the Okefenokee Swamp. Leaving is always the worst part of every Oke trip. Dock and entry roadI was slow to leave the Okefenokee, for I knew it would be at least four or five months before I returned. As I loaded my canoe I could hear numerous Sandhill Crane calling. As I pulled away from the parking lot, I found them in a field. I was also distracted by a large group of perching birds in the pines. There were many Pine Warblers and at least one Black and White Warbler mixed in. I also shot my first American Kestrel within the refuge boundaries.
