Lute you said my words! I know it sounds awful and we all love babies! however............................so many dogs so few homes. Please consider this as an option. On the surface it sounds cruel but faced with the actuality of pits going to responsible homes (jada pit for one my daughter etc) it may be kinder to mom and the babies.

I too was thinking that Lute, as sad as it may seem there are just so many dogs being PTS everyday as it is

. She looks like a gorgeous girl, and Dad is a handsome dog.

Goodluck with her.

It has actually been mentioned on another forum I am a member of, so no I'm not upset.
I have been thinking about it, but we will be going back to South Carolina tomorrow and will be getting home on Wednesday, so I want to take her to my vet rather than to one of the vets here. He's a really good vet, very sweet, and will check your dogs over and over just to make sure he hasn't missed something. I also like him because he takes his time and doesnt rush you out of there like a lot of other vets I have had dealings with.

I'm going to get his honest opinion and then I will either spay her or not depending on how viable the puppies are at this stage in the pregnancy.
I know there is way too many homeless dogs, especially pit bulls, but if I have to, to keep them out of shelters or out of the hands of fighters, I will keep them.

Goodluck with what ever you decide.

Oh How heartbreaking!!
And it's all because of the bad rap that bad pittie owners have given them..... and to think that they aren't even in this world yet and they already have half of the world against them.

I wish you luck and strength in making this horribly hard decision.
