Velvet is a beautiful girl. I hope she's a good fit for you. Those videos of Blarney are so sweet. I'm glad you were able to find them. We've always been very bad at photographing or recording pets and never realize it until it's too late.
Okami- I love pitbulls. They're so sweet and easy to train(which of course leads to their bad rep) and I wish we had the space or time for a dog with that much energy. I'd love to have one especially since the shelters have so many, but I know there's no way I would be able to keep up with one unless they were already very old.
