Theres no bad pitbulls...just bad people...
Well...I guess I am a bad person. I should have listened to those that told me getting a pitbull was a bad idea. Daisy, our Blue Nose Pitbull attacked our female Redbone yesterday. Had her by the throat. I was beating her in the head with the handle of a shovel, she would not let go. When we finally managed to separate them Daisys eyes were red...she was in a whole different place. Azuls left front leg is tender. Tried to put her collar back on last night and she cried out in pain.
Last night she had trouble standing so I held her food bowl so she could eat. This morning Azul could hobble around, she had not been outside since she got attacked at 4 pm yesterday so I went out with her so she could take care of business.
We have an appointment to take Lincoln to the vet today. He has some sort of dry eye issue. Hopefully we can get Azul in the truck. As to Daisy...she will be put down. Either by the vet or by a hollow point from my 1911.
That sucks but I'll admit I'm one that doesn't trust the breed. It's not the fault of the breed, just they way people have selectively bred in certain traits for awful reasons.
My neighbor runs a rescue. She has a 10yo pitt that is "supposed" to be the "sweetest thing". Dog attacked one of her other dogs. Bit down so hard, blood sprayed 4 feet and got all over my wife's dress who was a the fence talking to the neighbor.
The American Kennel Society lists pitt's as the leading cause of fatal attacks at around 72 percent (couple of years ago). Next in line are Rottweilers at around 10.
Again, I don't blame the dog, it is what it is, but I don't trust them any farther than I could throw one.
Btw, the neighbor being the understanding type, installed some additionel wire fencing at the lower half of our fence, on her dime, to help mitigate any damage to our dogs and and my grand daughter. And no, I don't let my grand daughter anywhere near that fence.
And again, I'm sorry you have to put it down but I think it's the right thing to do, especially if there are any kids around.
