Pit bull....

I love the breed as well. I had to put my pit down a few months back. She had some kind of tumor growing on her spleen. She was only 5 and we were going to have her spleen removed but the tumor was bleeding and she wasn't doing good. She bounced back a few days after and things were going good. Had blood work done all ready for surgery the following day. The day of her surgery I woke up with her barely breathing and cold to the touch. Rushed her to the vet and after a few hours of IV and blankets the hardest decision I've ever made was to put her down. I cried more for that dog than I have at friends and family member wakes.

I had that dog from when she was 8 weeks old and got her from a friend who owned both the mother and father, both pure breed pits.....I also had a cat that was about 10 when I got the pit. The pit was not very friendly with other animals. People though she would lick them to death and never ever showed aggression to friends or strangers. About 6 months before putting the pit down My family went to get a Christmas tree.....u know the cut your own....hot chocolate and fire going type places.....All happy and had a good time. We came home and found my cat dead in the house and it wasn't of natural causes....That great dog......had killed my cat. So you never know what could happen. I blame myself because I would usually put the cat in his own area of the house, the basement.....I closed the basement door but the cat never made it downstairs and he must have went down the stairs to his safe area and came upon a closed door and the pit trapped him and killed him.

After some time passed the traumatic experience was eventually forgiven....When it happened I swear I would've put a bullet in the dogs head....but dogs chase cats in friggin cartoons and also in real life.....

Someday I will get another one. Even after the horrible experience my family and I went through I still love the breed.
