Right now I am feeling, sad, angry, frusterated, overwhelmed. Hubby, is having issues both physically, I can deal with that, but the TBI is driving me crazy. I want to cry, I don't know what is going on with me today. I want to bite his head off, but know that that is not OK either. He stole my car keys so I know now that I have to hide them. He is determined that he is going to drive the car. He says cruel things to me and kids. Anyway, Today the Landlord told me that I have to get rid of my baby (my dog). We weren't home and she showed aggression when he tried coming into the yard. He said that Insurance would cancle his insurance. She even went to hospital and nursing home with me and laying on his bed. The problem is, she is a mixed pit bull and though she is a sweetie(her name) she scares people because of her breed. I understand,just angry that I am going to loose my lifeline, my baby and then fear of what will happen to her. I am trying to put her in a no kill shelter, One is a waiting list, another I can't get through and then one is a no kill depending on the dog. She is part pit, what do you think they will do. People are rightfully afraid of them, but she is nice. She was just letting them know that they were trying to come into our (her) yard and we were not home. The Landlord knew that too and tried to come in anyway. Anyway, was already feeling feelings and then that just put me over the edge. I just feel like crying. There is more in my jornal.

I know this is going to sound totally crazy, off the wall, over the edge.....but, can you move??? You need a lifeline,no? If you couldl move somewhere else, more room, more yard, keep the dog in the house when you aren't home....yada yada...I am a 100% dog lover, regardless of breed, ...usually a dog is only mean if he is raised mean, whatevr, it's a raging debate all the time, but if she's your lifeline, I'd try everything I could to keep her..good luck kiddo, my heart's with you..

What is wrong with that landlord? Doesn't he know it doesn't matter what breed that a dog will protect its territory. Could you put a larger pen in the back yarn to put her in when you are join? That way everyone is happy. My son-in-law brought in a pit bull puppy and it was raised with kindness when we had it but it did pin me down one day. I was afraid because we had a small baby in the house so we put a large pin outside and made me happy. She was a good dog she just got carried away with her play time.
Good luch and I hope you can work it out. Love, Nev

Actually PD, I thought of moving, but we live with my daughter in a very small town and that would mean uprooting the kids from school. When my hubby had his accident we lost our house and everything else. I/we need to live with one of the kids or they will can put hubby in a home. He has improved leaps and bounds since coming home. I am also unhealthy and our daughter helps me. We did try taking Sweetie to our other daughter, Didn't work out either. Neighbors are afraid of her and she is so nice. They refer to her as those dogs are nean. SHE IS NOT MEAN!!!!!!!

Maybe he will settle for a Dog Pin with a cover. He is blaming it on the Insurance Company. We already have to keep her on a chain when she outside. Calif. Does have a leash Law. But I also believe it's against the Law to have them on a chain. Not to mention it is cruel.

Well, then, if I were you I'd find out all the laws, talk to the landlord and try to reason with him. Do all the improvements you need to do to keep her, and by all means do be careful and watchful with her..because although she is loving and sweet with you guys, she is very territorial I'm sure and would bite if she thought she needed to, right? Aggression needs to be kept under some rules and boundaries, would hate anyone to get hurt, it happens. Good luck to you kiddo, I know what it means to have a pet as a wonderful friend.

I just had another thought. Our neighbor behind us has a setter of some sort that they take hunting. It is completely an outside dog. They took a shet and somehow installed a heater in the floor so it would be warm in the winter and had a dog door out the back with a pin and it also had a roof so it could go out anytime it wanted. They go out everyday and clean the pin.(Thank heavens) I know how you love your dog and I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully the pin idea will work.
