It's a tough time; in one week I will be marrying a cop. In one week I will still be a flaming liberal. From now til forever, those two things will collide, but I will never give up on my man or my beliefs. #tbt #meatyreilly #fresnobullyrescue #word #vpd #americanbully #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #mypitbullisfamily #lovernotafighter #police #vallejo #bullbreed #rescue #bully #instagramdogs #instadogs #ourpitpage #spreadtherumer #dontbullymybreed #dog #family #hatersgonnahate @law_enforcement_art @vallejopd @vallejotogether
