wow, sharks and the pit, good luck, I'd get the pit of ya, if my landlord accepted dogs. I love pits, they don't get enough credit as being a family dog, too many heartless bast rds around that wanna starve and fight 'em.
congrats, chicago is not an easy place to have a pit, because its definitely a dog, and not some little yippy dog that landlords have no problem with. (I've had a couple cats for a year or so...and I dont know)
