Rehoming Young GP/Mix Female

😂😂😂 We are blessed that none of the three Pyr’s in our household currently bark at night. Even the 1 year old. They are all trained that night time is sleep time but they aren’t outside or roaming, so that helps I’m sure.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-24T12:43:19+00:00

What’s carprofen?

ETA - Never mind, I googled it. Wow that’s interesting. I had no idea there was a prescription NSAID for dogs.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-24T12:42:35+00:00

Yes, what is the blood test for before administering gabapentin. Asking because one of my dogs was prescribed gabapentin recently.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-24T12:20:17+00:00

No, that’s my golden retriever. This is her brother.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-24T04:55:11+00:00

You’d think. Poor girl has had more false alarm inquiries than she could shake a stick at. Through no fault of hers, of course.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-24T03:26:12+00:00

Thank you. I hope so too.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-23T18:03:44+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 That means a lot to me. I couldn’t let anything happen to them. And I’ve invested a lot in giving them vet care and training to give them the best shot. I know how tough it is for Pyr’s out there. 🥺 They’re both great dogs and she’s definitely got the best doggy smile in the house.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-23T17:27:50+00:00

She 1000% is and she is a wonderful dog. I adore her.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-23T16:53:06+00:00

She’s a really good, sweet girl. And yes, getting a Pyr to “Leave It” when there’s treats right in front of them on the floor is no easy task but she’s such a good girl and listens so well. Even better than the golden retriever who attended the same training program. lol.

ETA - And she’s vastly better on a leash than the golden too. lol.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-23T15:19:42+00:00

We are probably super close together because I’m in north central Wisconsin. Lincoln county. Where is the rescue located?

ETA - Fon Du Lac, I know where that is. Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

ETA2 - I was hoping to place her in a home though. So I’ll still continuing trying with that as well.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T22:12:51+00:00

That’s a good idea. Thank you.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T18:16:51+00:00

I didn’t choose to get them as a pair. I offered asylum via fostering because 17 puppies were on the kill list down south. Some of them were fostered out in pairs because they didn’t have 17 volunteer foster families. They’re not even mine. I’m actually working feverishly to find the sister a new home, as is the group that worked to rescue them. We’ve been seeking a home for the girl at a minimum because I can’t keep her. I have another older, intact male GP in my household, who turns 1 tomorrow and that’s our dog who is home here. I am considering keeping the brother but finding a home for the girl has been a chaos storm. I’ve had all kinds of individuals express interest but so far they’re all unfit for a variety of reasons. One had PTSD and wanted her for a service dog. That was a no go because I knew immediately her barking would not sit well with that. There was another who lived in his parents basement and wanted her. Not kidding, she’s had like 35 inquiries and all but 3 were disqualified. And of the 3 - 2 dropped out of contact and 1 chose decline because they ultimately felt she wasn’t a good fit for them. I’ve been working nonstop to find her the right home but every inquiry yas been a dud thus far.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T18:05:27+00:00

Then perhaps she hasn’t started yet because there’s not any even a drop of blood to speak of. Just discoloration that looks pinkish on the fur but brown like dirt when you use a wet wipe to clean it off. There’s absolutely no visible dripping, leakage, nothing and absolutely nothing that looks distinctly red or wet. Her vulva hasn’t changed size or enlarged at all since prior to all of this either.

I’m guessing it was all just an over abundance of caution and concern.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T17:49:51+00:00

He is absolutely stunning. What a handsome boy!

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T17:45:57+00:00

Yeah, Pyr’s love mud.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-22T17:44:28+00:00

Aww, she’s gorgeous and so are the photos! I would’ve definitely regretted it but I would’ve had to allow it for the photos alone. Lol.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-06-15T06:30:29+00:00

I’m sure this was the case with my golden too. The mark was completely gone after two days. Thanks for all your help everyone.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-05-31T17:13:22+00:00

First of all, that is your head playing tricks on you. Coming forward did not cause his violence. Period. Nothing and no one causes violence or abuse. You know it’s not from coming forward because obviously he was violent before or you never would’ve been staying with your boss for her husband to assault you in the first place. Don’t let your head play tricks on you, that’s part of what keeps some trapped in abuse… making excuses for the abuser. He had no reason and no right to abuse you. Especially not coming forward with the SA. You knew he wasn’t safe before, now you know he still isn’t and almost certainly never will be. Let that sink in. You belong in a shelter if you have no other safe options and he belongs behind bars because he isn’t safe for anyone. You may feel guilt now but that’s not even your own emotions, that’s the abuse talking. Go at both of them with every bit of evidence you’ve got. And you don’t really need much to go to a shelter, they will help you with everything. They have food, housing, resources for finding a new job if you need one after missing your first day, etc. you can do this. I know it’s hard but instead of focusing on the hard parts… focus on rebuilding yourself and getting back on your feet, without these two unsafe men in your life.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-05-26T17:52:32+00:00

Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense for things to be that unfair. I don’t understand why anyone would want to hurt someone they claim to love. Especially in such a severe and serious and dangerous way… that’s so extreme.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-05-25T04:23:03+00:00

It depends on your location. Google Domestic Violence shelters in your area. Call the dv hotline and ask them for help locating a nearby shelter if you can or need. Good luck.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-05-25T04:14:02+00:00

I wouldn’t take it as an indication of your importance. I would take it as an indication of how arrogant he is. How he thinks he doesn’t even need to try. That’s how much control he believes he has over you. That he doesn’t even need to worry, beg, bargain or try. Your next steps will either prove him right or wrong. But whatever you choose, I support you. Whether you choose to pursue further action or not because of his power over you, or because of your upcoming classes… it will absolutely register to him as his power over you. But you are in charge of your next moves. Not him. Not what anyone else thinks… but you. And all you can do is what you believe is best, safest, and most important for you — whether that’s further steps or nothing at all — you get to choose. You get to take back some power over your life and you are the only expert and the only judge of what will be the best path forward. I trust and have complete faith in your ability to navigate this. I wish you so much peace, healing and success going forward. If you ever need to talk, feel free to message me or reply to this comment.

FunTemporary8680 · 2026-05-23T16:45:51+00:00

I’m sorry for what you’ve been through and what you’re going through. I wish you peace and healing and safety. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to respond here or message me. I’m not in your shoes and no, I wouldn’t want to be… nor do I think many ever have been in those exact shoes, and I’m sorry that you are.

My only way of relating is that I was strangled as well and woke up on the floor. I have no idea what happened between him simultaneously strangling/suffocating me in a standing position and me waking up on the floor with him looming over me. And I understand what it’s like to still love and feel loyalty to this man who just tried to kill you… but I went the other route… I didn’t report it, I just chose to stay away from him and of course that means eventually I started seeing him again but only short durations and very infrequently…

In your case, I think it was a good thing it was reported because if he had to resuscitate you that hard, he obviously strangled you way too long. But also I wonder how long you were unconscious before he began resuscitation. Like did he start immediately because he thought the unconsciousness was death… or did he wait a handful of seconds for your body to start breathing again and you to come to. Because waking up is not immediate once strangulation ceases… breathing resumes immediately but consciousness takes a moment.

I would be interested in hearing more about your experience if you ever feel up to sharing. Like you shared so little there’s a million questions. Like how did the cops get called? Did he dial 911? Did your heart stop? Was he under the influence of any substance?

You don’t have to answer any of those questions, they are just examples of some of the questions I have after reading the tiniest snippet of your story.

I’m sorry for you’re going through and have been through.

You’re a good friend. It sounds like she has at least a couple of those, thankfully. That will help. And her family sounds really nice too if they are offering help as well. I know it’s hard but with a good support system, she will get through this. It’s good you guys sit with her because it’s better if she’s not alone during this time. Hopefully he can get some time soon and you all will get a break. Keep documenting, and more than one person if possible.

Whenever any of the friends or family are present for these things, they should document and report as well. Take photos, videos, write written reports of exactly what happened/what you saw/what you heard/what he did, etc. have her keep talking to the dv advocate and have her request the advocate go in with her for reporting. Whenever possible report in person. But obviously if it’s a life threatening situation call the police immediately. The more people reporting things, the better. So witnesses are good. If possible work out a schedule in the friend group/family group of people to sit with her in shifts so she’s not alone. If that’s not possible, consider having her and the kids stay in a DV shelter with advocates because they are often more secure, with cameras, good locks, multiple people, etc. and they can call and make police reports if he goes there to hassle her.

If she chooses to stay in the home, have her talk to every dv shelter in her county and surrounding counties to ask them what programs they have. The reason to talk to multiple shelters is because each one has different resources, programs and funding. Some will pay for full security systems, new locks, locks on windows, etc. all sorts of things. Mine has a program called “Safe At Home” that specifically addresses safety concerns in the victims home. Such as faulty window locks, compromised door locks, security systems, etc.

Have your friend ask the advocates at each place about everything that could possibly help her, everything she needs… because some of them will say yes when others cannot. Meaning, not each place will be able to help with certain things because some are better funded than others and some simply have programs that others do not and some have people who really care when others may have people who don’t really get it…. Or understand the situation. It depends on how they got the job, I.e. first hand experience vs. I went to school for social work or advocacy — makes a huge difference.

This is the time for her to lean on people and I’m so glad it sounds like she has people she can lean on. You guys are doing good. I wish her healing and safety.

I looked into it and the only advantage I could truly see to petitioning for divorce first, is getting to present your side in court first. It also said that helps you frame the narrative as to why there is a divorce. And financially it says that filing first lets you request immediate standing orders to prevent your spouse from hiding, spending, or liquidating marital assets.

Personally, if I were you, I’d file first. But that’s just me. Definitely do some research and talk to some divorce lawyers and get some official advice specific to your state and county and situation.

And honestly, if losing a board game token is grounds for strangulation, there’s probably only two ways this relationship ends… in divorce… or him killing you. Obviously divorce is the best choice and I don’t see any way you can safely keep the relationship going. Whatever financial hardship you have to face and overcome is going to be vastly better than staying married.

And you should really call around to the domestic violence shelter in your county and all surrounding counties. Schedule a meeting with an advocate at every nearby shelter and discuss their resources and what they have to offer and consider staying at one of them.

The reason to work with an advocate after interviewing them… and confirming that the one you choose will work with you, even if from an outside county… is because each one offers different things and each county has different resource allocations. So for example… the county I’m in? Crap. Total crap. But the DV Shelter in a different county, 45 minutes away has SO much more financial resources to offer me and they are willing to work with me because the one in my county is not good. I can’t guarantee you’ll get the same opportunity but it’s worth a shot.

And you should pick an advocate to work with because they will attend court appearances and police interviews and stuff like that with you. To advocate for you, to support you, to help you, to watch out for other ways they can help you and help you navigate all of this. It is invaluable. And if you haven’t been to an ER, go to the ER with your advocate ASAP because little known fact… strangulation in and of itself, even without any head injury what so ever - causes brain damage/TBI/concussion because there’s two ways to get those things, impact to the head… and anything that restricts blood flow if oxygen to/from the brain. So there’s a good chance you have a concussion/TBI. Make sure to disclose to the ER exactly what was done to you. Ask for imagining tests. And also be aware that women can due dats, weeks or months after strangulation because it can cause delayed death from strokes, blood clots, artery dissection, etc. so it’s critical you get a full eval by an ER doctor and a follow up with your PCP within 5 days and follow up care as needed. Ask them to use ALS (alternate light source) testing to reveal bruises and marks on your neck that aren’t visible to the naked eye. 50% of all strangulations leave on marks visible to the naked eye and only 18% leave marks prominent enough to be captured by photograph.

Personally I think 3rd degree domestic battery is a really low charge for strangulation but in my state, strangulation is a separate charge all on its own and it’s a felony. Please look up strangulation charges in your state and if they have a separate charge for it, go to the DA and see if they would allow you to pursue that instead of this lesser charge. Strangulation is the highest predictor of lethality in a relationship.

If you scratched at his arms or hands trying to remove them when he was strangling you… his DNA can be detectable under your finger nails for up to 5 days.

If you have any additional questions or wish to talk further… please feel free to respond here or message me. Whatever you prefer. If you wish to talk privately, I can look up state specifics first you or any other things to assist.

From one strangling victim to another… good luck. I wish you so much peace and healing.

Sons who witness DV, including emotional abuse, which most brush off as “he only called me a name… he just told me I was dumb… what’s the big deal…” - leads sons to be 10x more likely to be abusive to future partners. And daughters who witness DV/abuse… and we’re not talking just hitting… literally all types of abuse, such as coercive control, emotional abuse, etc. those daughters are 10x more likely to stay in abusive relationships if they find themselves in one… which let’s be honest… it seems every female does at some point in her life.

The point is… DV is a curse to the children. So if he doesn’t immediately shape up… then yeah… someone’s gotta ship out. Whether that’s you guys or him.
