I hope that you enjoy Pit Bull Blues by John Shipe which is easily the best song about pit bulls that I have ever heard. Like most people, I did not know what great dogs pit bulls are until recently. As my friend Dog Man says "It is not the dog, but the owner that is the problem and pit bulls are not for everyone."

PIT BULL BLUES by John Shipe
People see me walking down the street they all run and hide.

I used to take it personally now I take it in strides.

I got nothing against no one I wouldn’t hurt a fly.

People seem to think I’m mean and here’s why, and here’s why

I’m a pitbull, a big brown red nose pitbull, a tooth baring muscle bound pitbull I look like I can tear the seal off a loco motive freight train.

People park three spaces away when I’m waiting in the car.
All the kids in the neighborhood they never walk through my yard.
And there’s a rumor floating around the county that I ate three cats.

But I swear from the bottom of my K9 heart I didn’t do that.

Nooo I didn’t do that.

But I’m a pitbull, a big brown red nose pitbull,
A tooth baring muscle bound pitbull, I look Like I can dig a hole through a concrete wall.

yaaa.

I got these pitbull blues all I want to do is sniff your shoes. I aint no killer hound though I’m the friendliest dog in town.

The shear sound of my bark can break through artic ice.

Deep down I’m a pussy cat, I’m just trying to be nice.

In case you didn’t notice I’m wagging my tail at the speed of light.

But no matter what I do I’m accused of looking for a fight.

yaaa

cause I’m
A pitbull a big brown red nose pitbull. A tooth baring muscle bound pitbull, I look like I can crush a cannonball with my jaws

Eleven-year-old retired racer, C. Jack Run, now known as Jackson Theodore Abel Dawg (or just Jack) spends some time enjoying the outdoors. He cools off in Missoula’s Clark Fork Natural Park, and takes in the sights, sounds & smells of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park and the Upper Falls in Yellowstone Park.
Video by hand-held Canon FS200 Camcorder, edited with Nero Vision.

The music was written in 1992 as a birthday present for a friend, with the full title is "Jeanne Ann: Eyes of Amber". It was multi-tracked with the Korg T-1 Music Workstation’s 8-track sequencer. The locations in the video are quite appropriate since the music was used in a video documentary called "Story of a River: The Clark Fork" and also for an audio guided tour program for Yellowstone National Park – which may still be available for rent when you visit the Park.
"Jeanne Ann: Eyes of Amber" appears on my 1996 album "Montana Soundscapes" and is available for download from my SnoCap online store on my MySpace page:

I also have less than 100 copies of the "Montana Soundscapes" original run available; send me a message if you’re interested in getting one.

If you have not seen the previous Nice Work Episodes, you may want to watch them before watching this episode as the 60 minute documentary has had to be divided into 6 to suit Youtube restrictions on video length.
Please use the ‘more from BorderCollieRescueUK’ menu below to select an earlier episode.

Episode 6 – Shows us Gael, now in charge of the sheep and helping with assessments at the centre, and gives some insight as to how the charity raises some of the funds to pay for it all.
We meet Nell and her sheep, hear from a number of volunteers at the centre, say goodbye to the dogs featured and take a last look at what Border Collie Rescue is all about.

Nice work is an in house ‘Colliewood Films’ production about the work of BCR, directed by Scottish filmmaker, Jim Closs with it’s footage filmed at the York centre and in the homes of the dogs featured.

Like the Animal Planet series ‘Project Puppy’, which features Gael from BCR as one of the 8 dogs covered, Nice Work is about the subject of rescued dogs being re-homed to work with people in various capacities, but in this instance they are all Border Collies and they have all been assessed, selected and re-homed by Border Collie Rescue.

This mini series is in six, ten minute episodes looking at a number of dogs rehomed by BCR and also covering Gael’s training, Sally’s pups growing up and other aspects of work at the BCR Assessment and rehabilitation centre.

The series features interviews with BCR staff and with people who have adopted dogs from Border Collie Rescue and trained them to be Sheep Dogs, Cattle Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs and Police Dogs as well as two dogs, selected and placed together on a small holding as companions for a special reason.

It gives good insight into the sort of work we do and the attention to detail spent on the care and re-homing of each individual dog.

This mini series is being released at the same time as Border Collie Rescue is being featured on Project Puppy on Animal Planet.
If you are not an Animal Planet subscriber, you can follow Gaels progress on Nice Work, either on Youtube or on The Border Collie Rescue website.

The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms — to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work — to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions.

Episode 3 starts early in the day as the centre prepares for new floors in the stable Block. We meet ‘Molly’, assessed, selected and rehomed to be a Search and Rescue dog, saved by people and now saving peoples lives. ‘Gael’ progresses to a larger flock and Sally and her 5 remaining pups go out for a run together.
If you notice that Molly has a puffy jowl, this was the result of an alergic reaction which disappeared after a course of treatment. It did make her look a bit like a Spaniel!

Episode 4 shows a variety of dogs being brought to the centre for assessment. ‘Gael’ goes solo, without ‘Dot’ to hold her paw. We meet ‘Bryn’, assessed and re-homed to be a Police dog for detecting drugs, firearms and explosives.
It’s not all work as the dogs have a romp in the garden and ‘Sally’ has a last run with her 3 remaining pups before going off to her new home.
