From Half truth = 100 percent my problem
So what can I do, it was blowing over my wife was in love with the dogs once more and under standing pray drive, working with the dogs also, BUT in the back round her friends family have made it imposable for me to keep my dogs, I imagine this has been in the back round since I had the dogs. Her mom constantly was telling her daughter stories about PB attacks, telling her about bans in different states, countries, comparing the recent chimp attack. Chimp !! More human then dogs ironically. I have experience almost every thing that is Dog, form scary to pure love and for me to pin all the guilt on a breed is un fare. So it seems as much as I have had a chance to love and enjoy the PB breed I have been chosen to endure the sadness of bias thinking, hate, small minds. This is my lot in life for the PB breed, a fleeting moment in time. If I had done every perfect from start maybe things would be different, still all involved would be waiting in the back round to pounce, there is nothing I could do to make it rite I did my best to only have dog’s with family when I was home, the dogs absolutely love the kids and I have plenty of pictures to prove it. I played it safe with unsupervised play,
As one can see though the cat was the slip up,I hade some other slip ups to. They were waiting all along. So fine pick that one thing, it’s an age old saying (they fight like cats and dogs) to hold against my dogs like they are the only breed that could do that to a cat.
it’s sad since NO other dog breed is the same to me, this breed make’s me a whole person, I am human with intellect I can deal in the long run, so lets forget what I am going through for now, What do I do with my dogs ? they have no papers, they are game, for all you people I need not state the obvious with any more words.

 

before u start giving ur dogs away . I would make her and her mother sit down and watch the saddest video u can find of apbt been put down and Neglected And say do u want r dog to have to go throught that. U got to lay it real Heavy. If that doesnt work find a good friend to take them.

 

You are rite, sad to say fellow they can most likely find more things against and most important they don’t play fare. But I will try. If people can link me up Thanks

 

i know if u go to youtube and search pitbull fights 4 life. Some sad shit comes up or if u just search pitbull fights u will find some bls videos

 

I am depressed the ride is over; I can not fight back against these people No matter what I say they will never ever except it , as it is me my family are out casts already with all the neighbors no kids come to visit my kids , some will but the ones that don’t let it be known. People it’s a cold world out there. How on earth do I save these dogs the next owner may be worse then me, may not realize what he is getting into and then it’s off to a new situation for the dog, The unknown is eating at me, the thought that my dogs could end up a few years down the line with some wacko with no love or being tied up being fought, and or tortured is eating me up alive , in 14 years from now I would feel Peace since I know by then there natural life for better or will be over .
Who am I to end it now for them do they deserve the chance to go into life with out me , the chance to get lucky ?

 

If you cannot find an owner with extensive knowledge about the breed, I would humanely put the dogs to sleep.

What I would like to tell you to do is have your wife tell her mother to butt out of your business, that the dogs are part of the family unit and if she doesn't like it, she don't have to visit. I say this with all due respect for you. IF this was me, that is exactly what I would be doing.

I'm sorry, but if anyone does not like my dogs, I would show them the door and let it hit them in the ass on the way out.

 

if she still wants the dogs gone. U tell her if the dogs r gone u r gone and tell her that the dog r family there like ur kids

 

You are rite, but unfortunately my wife with all due respect to a fine woman allows every body to be in our business and affect the out come of our lives, it’s been this way from day one and I don’t see any change coming, for the sake of these dogs no change comeing ,believe me I have pictures and I’d love to share but we live in a scary world

I have been told that if the dogs don’t go, I can hit the road with the dogs, that wont work for me

 

I have set the status quo I have allowed people in, the responsibility of wife and kids is worth any torture a man has to endure that’s life for a man, and sadly life for a PB can be the same . It’s up to all these people now to show me there compassion that I have put my trust to.
I will ultimately see how humane they are.

 

ffs man, grow some balls, put your foot down, sounds like typical wifey getting her own way, by the sounds of it you are married to the wife and mother in law, and her friends, is there anything she will let you do

 

im with sylus,ask your self if you get rid of them will you regreat it have future problems/personaly i am my dogs and my dogs are me if i gave them up where would i be back to the old me?that scares me more then loosing my dogs!

 

I don't know the whole situation but I can assure you my fiancé would NEVER, EVER make me get rid of my dogs...
if he would, my ass would be gone in no time, but that's just me...
IMO if he asked me to get rid of my dogs it would be a lack of respect as he knows they are my passion, and if I gave them up, I would carry regrets my whole life...

to me it's not worth it.

ask yourself if you really want to live with such a person...

 

reply's in bold

 

spot on ganja; when he does ask you to get rid, maybe then we can hook up lol;

 

lmao sylus! I'll keep that in mind !
but really, it's time you step up for yourself and your dogs...

 

pit#5; ask yourself, what brings you more joy in your life now, the wife or dogs, maybe once your wife might have been the be all and end all, but i suspect that the dogs mean more to you now, tell her your moving out, and taking the dogs with you, see what her reaction is then, if she shakes your hand and tells you to jog on, then you may realize that your marriage aint all it was cracked up to be, face it, a place of your own with the dogs, the kids can come and stay over, and if you need to park your bike lol, i'm sure there are plenty of females around lol

 

Thanks all and I wish I could have stayed home to chat real time to you people So much of what you say is real and true; People you know when a mistake is made like say letting a dog run loose, a person can realize the mistake make changes and be a responsible dog owner. That’s just dog ownership. Now when people are involved it’s just a whole ball of wax.
First my wife is all broken up about this dog, she loves this dog, it’s her baby, she did bottle feed it a little bit.. She is crying and crying (so have I, and my dogs licked away my tears then a smile came to my face, that’s the power of a PB you can not cry to them ,they will not allow it, there ancestry has been through to much to allow there owners to shed tears for them) people my wife sits on the fence she sees the truth of APBT’s sweet loving unbeatable personality .and still part of her is a part of the hate mongers mentality since in this world those people seem like the normal ones / PB lover’s are nuts after all !! She can’t accept being a PB Waco yet to the world.
She does not know what side of the fence to get off on. For me ganja and to every one else with fine advice , A man (Me) comes home ever night to his family, 4 kids, oldest 10 and his wife for better or worse. A mans obligation is to deal with his own true inner happiness. Make every body else happy first that’s IMO, One day my wife will realize to stop sharing every aspect of her life with people especially now that she sees the consequences
Sadly she did share too much and all the hate mongers fears were put to her, all a person has to do is believe it for a few minutes and once the door is open it’s over.<O:p></O:p>
The animal rescue person caused most the problems calling incessantly ,calling my wife’s parents , might even call CPS, My neighbors are calling dog wardens , we have a PB feast going on here, my dogs are the dinner. The crime is a cat even a dog warden knows that is a gray area (cats and dogs) so I know if some one would visit, my dogs are super friendly to all (but cats, raccoons, ground hogs, foxes ECT) see I took them to work a lot and my dogs have been and are exposed to many people each day, (they love people & kids) so I guess I feel like, bring it on already, my dogs will pass the test. I don’t have to hide them away from people they are just not aggressive, a cat died sorry, read the news Cleveland guy keeps woman’s body’s in his home , kids disappearing all the time , humans are the worst, dogs get ruined by people that’s the truth.<O:p></O:p>
It looks like I will be bringing the female PB to a no kill shelter(humane society) since she is 6 months old and less then 60 pounds they will take her , I know some one will take her on, will they be as good as me ,I don’t know. If this is the way it goes I hope all I did for the dog allows her to have the diversity to deal with all situations. Her life with me was supervised free running, leash walking, being tied up, staying in a truck, and best of all being loved by my kids. She hates cats and she is ever inch a true dog (a real dog) MY other dog I am holding tight on and fighting hard on, since he is 80 pounds I don’t believe he is a true PB, my vet did not know what he really is, but I know a truth to him and he is real, A real lab mix for sure. I think I may be able to save him since he is more obedient, he stays in his pen when needed (the female had to be tide out) and listens very well, I can walk him if I want with no leash, he stays even if a dog barks at him he looks to me what to do, the female can never be off a leash she listens but not till a problem has been started if she can find it that is, other wise she does listen. So all in all I have vowed to my self just the same never off leash these days. Only in the deep woods in a certain area do I let them run. <O:p></O:p>
Any way if I do loose all my dogs I just don’t think I have the strength any more To raise another PB, I worked hard on these dogs and I was not done nor was I done learning my self, it is what it is for now. I’m tired ,I’m lost ,if I loose my male dog ,I’m done ,I think I will be to sad to even visit game dog I just don’t know . I thank all of you ,I hope some one benefits from my time with Game dog , I’ll try to stay true, to keep the faith.

 

please, don't take your dogs to the pound!
the shelters just aren't a good place for dogs to be, even the so called "no kill" shelters...
try to find a rescue to take her to...
if you can't, I would humanely put her to sleep...

I'm so sorry for you

 

Man up son, get a back bone! Those dogs mean that much to you? Keep them! My mother in law tryed to interfere in my marriage ONCE we've had a good relationship ever since. You have to be the rock in your house your wife has to respect you if she did all the people with all their bullshit could not sway her from following your deisions. This isn't her fault but yours. Your gonna have to earn that respect why not start now.

 

I will try but I live in rural county and the rescue people here are into like perfect non instinctual animals, this No kill can find a good home, and they were told dog is not good with cats. But I am worried the animal rescue person (my wife told he fear to) will go behind our backs and make stories up and cause the shelter to do some thing different then my wife believes , This person firmly believes a cat killer is not safe with people.
I know dogs know the difference I love cats but some dogs see cats just as if they are vermin. that’s what dogs do ,some cats can get the best of a dog also I had one like that
She took on all dogs and people too her name was Tammy she scratched me as a child
She was wild. I loved her just the same. This whole thing is stupid my wife slept with the dog all night and is telling me this dog is her favorite dog in the world, but she is getting problems from her mom ,like being taken out of the WILL being disowned it’s crazy how people react to a PB but if another dog hit on a cat like say a Cocker Spaniel all would be forgiven by now.
I could try to test my wife and say we need to put this pup down for the unknown home is to chancy and maybe she would back out. Certainly animal rescue person (my wife told he fear to) wants her down along with my male ,
thanks for the help this is life
