She tried to bite my dog Buster but I tried to block her and I got her mouth not her chest.

that's a strange beast.
on the topic of dogs, i am the reluctant caretaker of a bitch with 9 pups as of 10 days ago.
we had this lovely stray dog that started hanging around our restaurant a couple months earlier. i kept trying to make it feel unwelcome so it would bugger off, but eventually she persevered. i named her "rusty" because she has an unusual but beautiful rust/copper coloured coat. she's a shorthair that seriously resembles a thai ridgeback (complete with the backwards strip of hair on her back) although i suspect she's just a heinz 57. of course she went into heat and every tom, dick and harry was hanging around her and she got pegged of course. so the plan is to keep her at the house, get the pups weaned, get her spayed and find homes for all 9 pups. (that will be the hard part) once she's fixed, back to the restaurant she goes. i was there when she gave birth, which was a first for me. after a bit of mad googling, i even cut the cord on the first 2 because she was too big to reach around and do the job herself. pups' eyes still closed but i suspect in a day or 2 they'll open up.
so the goal is keep her well fed so the pups are fat and adorable and easy to find homes for. once a week i'm pressure cooking a big pot of chicken carcass, duck livers and pork heart, all mixed with dry kibble. i'm sure she's never ate so good.
to make matters worse, the bloody thing likes to chase my cats. one cat disappeared for 4 days and another for 5 days (he just showed up a couple hours ago). in both cases i thought they were gone for good so i was quite relieved when they came back.
so i'm getting nasty sideways glances from my now neurotic cats who are not at all pleased with the current situation.

I still get that same look from our old cat here just for allowing (not my idea) another cat to be brought into her household... that was 4 years ago... 9 pups seem like a lot to get rid of...

I still get that same look from our old cat here just for allowing (not my idea) another cat to be brought into her household... that was 4 years ago... 9 pups seem like a lot to get rid of... oh yeah...no doubt they do. 6 or 7 years ago we started out with 2 cats...hoss and jonny, 2 brothers the wife got from a temple. before we built the restaurant, we rented a bit of land and opened a small shop there just to try things out first. one of the buildings there was a former karaoke and it was in a bit of disrepair. one day this miserable looking kitten (eventually named fatty) fell thru the roof onto the floor. no mom in sight so doctor fckn doolittle here bottle fed it and raised it and we were up to 3 cats...all happily co-existing. then a kitten showed up at our new restaurant, old enough where i didn't need to bottle feed her but still a kitten. so brenda made it 4 cats. trouble is brenda and fatty (both spayed females) hate each other and have to always be kept separate...i mean always. fatty will kick brenda's ass badly if we don't. it's a royal pain in the ass but it is what it is. so now with the dog, i've got to keep all 4 cats separate from the dog while also keeping the 2 cats separate. it's a complicated life i lead over here. and you're right. 9 is a lot to get rid of but 3 are already spoken for. i am going to try my damnedest not to grow attached to them because even if i get rid of them all i can guarantee they won't all be to good homes. people here love pups but once the cuteness wears off i'm sad to say not all but many dogs here live a tough life. and there are just so many dogs running around unchecked it's one of the things i hate the most about living here. anyways, i tell the missus adamantly we're not keeping any but i suspect we'll keep one...big softie that i am.

If i had my way this is the last thing i would have wanted. But here we are. There are so many unwanted dogs here, i'm in a bad spot. Hopefully there's a happy ending for a few of them. That's the best i can hope for

I've wondered where those places take the dogs that they can't get rid of... drop em off in the wild? I watch many youtube videos of dog rescues and shelters. Example one in Crete, Takis shelter, he has over 430 dogs and dozens of cats, goats he rescues and cares for at his place. He used to own a disco club and got fed up with the lifestyle and took all his money and bought a crapload of land on the island. Does it all with donations along with his won money. People come from all over Europe to adopt from him.

back to the topic of pet dogs, this story keeps popping up on twitter. there's nothing really quotable when it comes to ethan bear's situation, but i think what made the article interesting were other players past and presents comments. www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/hockey-world-slowly-making-strides-when-it-comes-to-mental-health/we had a dog when i was growing up...just a mongrel farm dog like every neighbor we had. she was 15, i was 14. we lived close to a highway, and she couldn't help chasing cars. she got nailed 4 or 5 times that i remember but likely more. she'd disappear under the granary for a couple days but always come limping out when she was hungry and somehow recovered every time. i don't recall her ever being taken to the vet. in her last summer she started coming up lame. looking back, i was so naive at 14, i just thought she'd bounce back like always. i was pedalling back from my cousin's and i saw my dad's pickup at the little general store which was about a mile from our farm. i saw him go in and told him i'd throw my bike in the back. shit...in the back was a lump covered by a tarp with a tail sticking out. it dawned on me so suddenly that she had been put down. i didn't bury her, dad did. but i've dug a few holes since....as i'm sure most of us have with pets. never thought about mental health back then in 1975 but these are different times. people might say we're softer these days compared to the 70's. i have no idea but age notwithstanding, it's a lot tougher living these days, pets play a bigger role in many people's lives imo.

just to piggyback on car chasing and digging holes...
my first dog as young lad (6 years old) lasted all of a year before he decided to run out and greet a pair of 3 wheelers driving by, which ended with him getting crunched right in front of the whole family, as we were out raking leaves in the front yard. I doubt my younger sisters even recall it, but I can still remember my mom taking us all inside as my dad was headed back out with a rifle in hand to finish him off...
we got a replacement a few weeks later, a big ole Lassie dog, who was my bestest best pal for the next 10 years. unfortunately, she got old, as we all do, and got arthritis so bad near the end that sometimes I would have to go out and pick her hind end up so she could stand up. the parents told us in the winter she was headed into the vet in the spring for her final reward, but being a young man still, it never really hit home... then I come home from school one day and my dad had decided that due her being the family pet for so long and the likelihood of high emotions on the big day that we should prepare for it in advance. so, I was gonna need to dig a hole beforehand. this dog and I were joined at the hip for a decade. she waited by the road for the school bus to get there in the afternoon. when I would go back to woods deer hunting, she would wait by the edge of the field for me to come home. so, that day, while I dug a hole by the edge of woods, she laid at the edge of the yard and field and watched me... worst job of my life.
two days later, the deed was done. and that day, at least until mom passed, was the only time I've ever seen my father cry...

the thing about animals...perhaps dogs in particular, is that they just get on with life. unlike humans, they don't feel disadvantaged or hard done by...they just truck on. after the initial pain and recovery from the surgery, no doubt your dog will forget all about that 4th leg and just get on with it. will she be fitted with some sort of prosthetic? best o' luck mate.
