Rows and rows of Pitties in cages....

[caseysmom]

I have a soft spot for pitties but some dogs just have dog aggression, pit or not. Do you have a crate to keep her in? I am sorry it didn't work out, the shelter I volunteer at requires dog to dog introductions, although it doesn't sound like that would have helped since she showed no sign before, some dogs only get aggessive over food.

I hope she is not euthanized because of this, I sure hope they require her to go to a home with no other dogs. Is Nikki okay, I hope she isn't hurt.

Yikes, it sounds like she has some bad resource guarding issues. I can understand if you want to return her for the sake of Nikki, but do you feel it is a behavioral issue that can be managed with good training?

*extra hugs to Nikki (Lucky can sympathize)*

I'm so sorry. I pm'd you. Some pit bulls need to be in an only dog home. I'm sure you feel terrible about this. Please dont let this change your mind about the breed. They honestly are amazing dogs. Some just dont do well with other dogs. As I told you in my pm, who knows what her background might have been. (((HUGS)))

Well, Yes, Pitties sometimes are not good with other dogs. And Same with other breeds. But, I NEVER Would have gave a dog a bone around a new dog. You were not sure what could happen. I have had Celeste over a month, and I STILL Don't leave bones out. I am pretty sure nothing would happen.. But I still don't do it. I hope things work out. Can you put her in a bathroom? How is Nikki doing? Well I hope. Can you talk to a behaviorist? I Know here, the Humane Society I Got celeste at has someone you can talk to the whole time U have the dog. To help you out for free! I hate to hear these sad things.. Specially for pittie! I Hope it works out ok.


Keep us informed

What happened to Millie or Brooke? I would think a 6 year old would be better suited to making friends with Nicki than a 1 - 2 year old bundle of energy like Mia.

Awe... poor girls! You never know what environment she came from, and maybe it was out and out survival for her there, and she just acted on instinct. I hope Nicki is ok. She hasn't been aggressive with any of the kitties, has she??

I hope you will find another friend for Nicki, and if not now since she might be shaken and scared of another new dog, in a little while.

Big hugs to you guys!

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was just about ready to congratulate you. I had read your other thread about Millie and Brooke and was also wondering what happened to them as far as adopting goes. I also think that an older dog would be a better fit for Nicki. I sure hope that Nicki will be okay. Please update us when you can. (((HUGS)))
