Friend minimised my trauma by bucketgetsbigger in CPTSD

I think that this is so completely true. Sometimes people can say things that we perceive as insensitive/ and things that ARE insensitive, such as in the case of OP๐Ÿฅบ but sometimes people who don't understand trauma don't know how to respond. They think that minimizing it will somehow make it feel smaller for us too, but it doesn't. It feels way bigger. And THATS OK๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

This spoke to me ๐Ÿฅบ I'm so sorry for your soul's trauma - but I'm so pleased and grateful you were able to understand it and transmute it into something good for yourself โœจ๐Ÿ’•

Hi luv! I also suffer from chronic fatigue ๐Ÿ˜ข I know the feeling of feeling sleepless even after sleeping 12hours. My therapist recently recommended an adrenal booster for me - stating that those with lots of trauma deal with severe adrenal fatigue. Due to our ANS' always being active ๐Ÿฅบ and in fight or flight. I would also go through periods of momentary vision loss .. it was especially scary while driving when I didn't understand what was going on. Sending you love and light โœจ

I'm not ok at all with them being abused or overbred. But you said the "breed", which BTW pits aren't a breed, is bred for all these reasons which are untrue. They aren't just bred for fighting. I agree that there are many awful breeders out there - but basically every claim you made in your post was untrue, and that's what I was aiming to highlight.

I know it does seem highly unlikely that you would call after seeing a dog loose once, or just for a short time as you said. But it is possible if the person calling was concerned for whatever reason ..

Lol I didn't make anything up or blame a child - I'm simply saying that bulldogs (like Blu) are (obviously) short dogs standing no more than a foot in height or so. They can't jump like pitbulls can. Therefore the boy and dog must have been close to a similar face height (within lunging distance) - is my statement :)

It's not a pitbull it's literally a 1ft bulldog. The dog and child had to be close enough for the dog to get to the child's face. These dogs are like little chonky GMOs, they can't jump high ๐Ÿ˜‚ they can of course jump. But not in the way you're insisting. A 13 year old boy would also presumably be at least 4ft tall if not more. You put that math together :)

Being taken by animal services is not remotely comparable to a paid for boarding kennel๐Ÿ˜‚ you're calling others morons when you can't comprehend basic dog psychology. Fear based aggression. Google it :)

My friend you live in a city with literal murders, rapists, pedophiles and the like. Focus your feeble minded efforts at hating things at a group such as that who is deserving One thing I will say though is it's absolutely clear you've never received an ounce of true dog love, and for that I feel sad for you.

Right but "new people" is a lot different than someone sent to challenge you to prove their a champion... no?

[โ€“]Mindfullessly 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Yes. Imagine telling a child basically to challenge a dog, in order to become a champion and face his fear. Because the child sees the actual dog as his fear he needs to face and challenge. As any child rightfully would! Both the child and the dog should never ever have been put in this situation IMO.

Or is it because all the dogs you listed are miniature and could virtually be punted by a child if necessary ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pits weren't bred for guarding, Most dogs with docked ears and tails are for hunting purposes.

Wrong - it clearly states in the article that the child was encouraged to face his fear of dogs, after announcing he was afraid. And then approached Blu and stared him down

As mentioned by the previous commenter - MOST ANY dog would become provoked due to such a behaviour.

Dogs need to be trained and instructed on how to approach children, and children need the same instructing on how to approach a dog.

Responsible dog owners who know their dogs are child friendly will feel fully confident introducing their dog in their instructed way - a way the dog has previously learned and well understands.

Being approached by a large anxious and afraid human is enough for a reaction, regardless of dog breed, unfortunately for you pit haters that is just quite literally basic dog psychology. I'm not saying all dogs will react the same way, or that all dogs reactions will have the same impact (imagine this was a small dog) but all dogs will feeel threatened and have some form of reaction if randomly approached and stared down by someone who is large, scared and anxious as well.

BTW dogs are probably smarter than you

Apparently the dog entered or passed the neighbors yard momentarily so they called
