^ Your dog is gorgous. You and her in the last picture is my favoriate. She is looking at you like your her everything. Awwww!

This guy I was dating a few years ago had to get put into rehab. He has a pit bull that I helped him raise when we lived together. I haven't seen her much in three years but I lived with him with her for three years so she is about six years old now. Anyway, the neighbours called my cell on wednesday night around midnight and told me the cops and EMS was at my ex's house and they were afraid the cops were going to shot the dog to get in because she is a Gator mouth pit bull, and they were afraid she would bite them and they needed to get in. So I told them I was on my way and I rushed up to his house to get her so they wouldn't hurt her. She is a very sweet dog. She just didn't understand what was going on and she was just as scared as they were. Shes here at my feet now. So I am glad I got to her in time. I don't know everything thats going on with my ex, but he is in real bad shape. Plus, the dog hasn't been cared for. She is skinny, and she was living in her own feces. His house was so sad for a human to live in much less an animal. I am just so glad shes safe, and maybe he will get the help he needs this time. Time will tell. I hate to even give her back when he gets out, but I don't think I have a choice. I am going to look into the laws though. She doesn't deserve this, and doesn't have a choice like he does. I makes me so freaking angry when animals are mistreated. I could just kill people that hurt animals like this.

She's at my feet and I am trying to keep her still to take a web cam picture. She is so beautiful.

Her eyes are really red. They were a lot redder on wednesday night until I bathed her. The vet said it was a virus from the bacteria in his house, and gave us some saline solution to put in as few times a day. I hope she starts eating better though. I have her some good dog food, but is only used to eating people food. I am having a hard time with her eating.

I hate it when animals get to this point. If you can't care for an animal don't get one, you know? Damn some people. It makes me so sad and angry.

BTW her name is Allie. We call her Allie Gater.

Poor puppy. She looks so much like my staffie it's unreal, minus red eyes poor lil girl. Both my staffs were brindle like allie. She'll put weight on soon, i rescued sasha from an abusive family, first time we mopped the floor when we had her she ran ustairs we found her whimpering in a puddle of wee and sick she was that scared poor pooch. She's mad as a bag of spanners 9 years later and lets my son take rides on her back haha.
 
^ That is awesome D2P. I am hoping for the same report with Allie. I am going to research if she has stafford pull terrier in her. She might, she has a huge mouth on her, I just need to get her weight back to normal.

^ Awesome shot badfish. Looks like she has the best seat in the living room, lol. Right beside the television. They say sounds from the television actually help a dog rest better. It drowns out any other noise in their vicinity. <3

^ Wow, He is so cute. I love Kitties.
Just an update on Allie. She is doing a good bit better. She even took a chew bone from me, so I hope the raw hide will help her teech and give her chewing excerise. Sh is still at my feel, but she is getting along better. <3
 
Hey, snowboarder, did Charlie get that mouse for Christmas? :) He looks pretty smug.

Stella, great news about Allie. Are you going to get to keep her for a while?
 
Hey dark-siders!

I've already mentioned my kittens on this forum, but let me just tell the full story once and for all.

I was very depressed last year. I tried many therapists and psychiatrists. I now a major part of why I wasn't getting better is the fact that I didn't truly believe I deserved it. I was put on antidepressants and they made me feel like a walking zombie - actually, the best way I could describe it is that I couldn't feel any feelings and emotions. I was full of guilt, shame and despised myself. I didn't have much friends left. I couldn't bother to answer their calls, I was too afraid to tell them the truth about what's going on, and eventually they stopped calling. My mom was on the verge of a breakdown and I will never forget the look in her eyes when I awaken in the hospital bad, how she tried to hide the tears and blamed herself. My family was devastatedmall they wanted is for me to be happy yet they didn't know what else to do. I was convinced that their life would be so much better without me and that I was nothing more than a miserable, heavy weight on their shoulders.

Until one day, out of the blue, my mom asked me: "What if we'd get a kitten?"

And we got one. From then on, things started to change. And we got another. I can't say I was magically cured overnight, but slowly, I noticed changes in my behaviour and my mood. I felt like I was starting to see some colours in a world that was all shades of grey before.
If I think back now I almost hardly believe it myself :D But I guess if I think rationally about it it makes sense - they gave me a meaning, I wasn't lost in my head full of bad memories, self-pity and self-destructive thoughts, I focused on them. If I think back now it's almost hard to believe that I can honestly say I was cured by two little kittens. <3

So, because they brighten up my day, my life, my world. And maybe they'll bring a smile on your face too. :)





p.s. If you attempt any "kitten therapy", it's at your own risk of side effects. And believe me, having the cat-lady snydrome can make you a pain in the ass to normal people! =D
 
I am so happy for you!<3 It is true that animals can help us heal from the deepest loneliness, the worst loss. But beyond that they are just so cute!! And IMO being a "cat-lady" is one of the higher callings in life.=D
