My dog bit my cat...
Comments (12)I understand you rescue your animals and want to love and help them so they have a home, but please trust me having 2 or 5 acres of land isn't going to solve any animals behavioral issues. I rescue and pet sit animals myself. October 3,2010 I rescued a chihuahua which thank god he has survived and living a happy life as my service dog now. May 2011 I rescued a 8 month old chow which the dog owner said he was pet and human friendly so my husband and I said ok. At the time of rescuing him we had 3 chihuahuas, 2 adult dogs and a puppy not including the chow. First few days the chow was great with the other animals. Fourth day came a bunch of older kids walked by our fence and was teasing our animals. I decided to let out my chow/boxer puppy so he could bark them away from the fence. My chihuahua ran out with him barking and running towards them instead the 8 month old chow grabbed him, threw him to the ground, and just kept attacking him and the noise from the kids kept getting louder and they were laughing and saying the most cruel comments. My husband ran outside had to kick the dog off so my chihuahua could get loose. When he did get loose the dog kept going at him so my husband kept trying to keep him away until we got inside. My chihuahua and I sat on the floor he laid in my lap my mother in law came over. Carefully she took care of his wounds and made sure he was wrapped up warm in my lap since he doesn't go to anyone else. Called the shelter spoke with them we had to immediately put down the chow because he kept attacking everyone after he attacked him. Got him in the van took him to the shelter and he tried to bite them as well. They do use the gas chamber and Euthanizing shot, but since he kept biting we got him in the chamber. When opening the door it didn't work on him until the 3rd try. If my husband hadn't got him off my chihuahua in time he would've killed him his tooth was very close to the rib. Having a huge yard is great and fun, but unless if you plan to train and socialize every animal with the ones you have you will end up with a problem just like I did. My chihuahua has survived, but since being attacked he's not the same dog and he only allows and feels safe around my Anatolian shepherd that we have which protects him from everything. We do have two cats they will play with him, but I'm very cautious about what happens outside and inside. If you believe your dog bit your cat you need to work with him one on one and I'm sorry, but at this time I'm moving as well and having furniture packed and boxes around doesn't make a dog attack another animal. I recently, just pet sit 4 dogs that weren't my own and two were aggressive towards mine, but it had nothing to do with me moving. I'm sure even with moving you could take the dog on a short walk twice a day, play with him inside for a bit, give him attention. If your going to rescue then you have to do it right not just build up a yard or house with a bunch of pets. It's unfair to them and truthfully I would consider you neglecting them. I am a cancer patient I at least take my dogs on one walk a day no matter if it's short long or even in the yard. My cats I spend at least a few minutes during the day several times petting them, hugging them, even talking to them so they know their important and loved. If you had a child would it only be sitting in front of a tv all day? Animals are just like our children maybe with four legs, but they deserve the same treatment love, patience, good health, and support always....See MoreShoe about Michael Vick on Animal Planet tonight.
Comments (19)I watched it last night and I thought it was a very good show. Vick was sentenced to 23 months in Federal Prison. He is bankrupt and the state can still press charges against him. He had to pay money to help house and rehabilitate his dogs. The show didn't cut him any slack except to say it is thought he was raised around dog fighting as a kid. Out of 66 dogs rescued 55 were pit bull terriers.They only had to put down 2 of the dogs. Only one because he was too vicious and one female that was too sick. A pit bull rescue group called Bad Rap took the others and many of them were driven to the west coast and all of them have been placed with loving families. One is a gentle therapy dog that visits hospitals. He is so big and so sweet and gentle. The rescuers were shocked that the dogs were so docile and actually scared of them at first because of no socialization. The dogs are very anxious to please and fight because of the encouragement of the dog fighters encouraging them and saying good dog when they are aggressive. It was a really interesting show. The dog on the Little Rascals show, Petey, was a pit bull and Helen Keller's dog was a pit bull. There were a lot of other interesting stories about them rescuing people. There were short shots of videos of dog fighting but I would recommend watching the show when it comes on again....See MoreWhat happened to all the ANIMALS on Animal Planet?
Comments (13)'m glad I'm not alone here. There are ELEVEN HOURS in a row of Dirty Jobs today. My Cat from Hell is my favorite and I used to really like It's Me or the Dog. She was such a good dog trainer. I always thought they should bring Victoria Stilwell on Bad Dog o coach them how to train their dogs or rename Bad Dog stupid, lazy owners. If you're going to own a dog you have to train it, at least know how to care for it. I used to have Animal Planet on all day on Saturday but not anymore. Time Warner has now added new channels to show shows like Hoarding, I Didn't know I was Pregnant, Sex sent me to the ER, ER in different cities. 500 Pound people. Please send the Nude people to one of the porn channels....See MoreAnimal Planet coming here this week
Comments (24)marilyn, Animal Planet is very pro-animals & if anything, they are trying to raise awareness about all the creatures in our lives. I think if you told them that you wanted your release spot kept secret & your reason for it, they would certainly respect your privacy. And, yes, please let us know when. I'd love to see it too. You'll get to be known as the "Possum Lady" which might actually draw positive attention to your cause to save the sweet little critters....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
