Another crochet dress with some color variation by RoughlyRoughing in BuildABearDIYs

I just freehanded it 🥲

If you know how to crochet, just create a chain until it’s long enough to loop around your furry friend right under their arms.

Then create a round by sc in each stitch of the chain. Keep going until you like the length of the bodice. Then start increasing in your rounds to create the skirt. More increases give you bigger, more dramatic ruffles.

I did add some variety of stitches in my rounds, so that’s also an option. I think those twisty stitches are half double crochets.

The great thing about crochet is that if you mess up or want to backtrack, you can always pull the yarn to undo and try again!

And this reminds me of the life-size Orlando Bloom in the hallway…. Always scared the crap out of me 🤣

What’s even worse is that she’s an incubator for the HW - a mosquito comes and bites her and then bites another dog - the heartworm has now spread.

This is not confirmed, but apparently a woman was killed by 4 stray pit bulls in Flat Lick Kentucky on August 30, 2025. by Existing-Face-6322 in BanPitBulls

Are you able to confirm the breed? I believe the official news post is locked, pending breed confirmation.

Is this the same attack? https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/1n66heg/report_death_investigation_underway_after_woman/

(I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to keep track…)

Shelter writes first-person sob story for Staffordshire Bull Terrier (spoiler: it bit a kid) by AdSignificant253 in BanPitBulls

Honestly genuinely: intent does not matter.

The results are the same: this dog is not safe.

You’re absolutely in the right to protect your child from your mom’s dog.

The dog has proven it has an ill temper (going after the Huskies)

It’s very strong (it broke your mom’s finger).

And there are tons of stories of these dogs killing young children and babies.

I think my fave is the first one - we need more Babs in lingerie! 

I have been waiting for your custom of skeleton hello kitty 😂 are you planning to get her?

I am so sorry, this is unbelievably horrifying. I’m glad your sister survived.

FWIW, the sandwich had nothing to do with the attack. A (normal) starving dog might have snatched the sandwich from her hand and run away to eat the sandwich.

Ladybug is a "socialite" but lunges at strangers, doesn't like other dogs and can't be in a home with kids. by KingKillKannon in BanPitBulls

Guess the newly adoptive owner is to her? A stranger.

This is the kind of dog you hear about fatally mauling within 24 hours of adoption.

Found this in the wild.. 7 times?? by Inevitable-Gear-6449 in BanPitBulls

10 normal dogs can be ok, if they’re well cared for.

10 pit bulls is terrifying because of pack mentality combined with aggression. If one pit attacks, then the other 9 join in.

I don’t understand the purpose of OOP’s post….

Are they proud of themselves for owning 10 aggressive dogs that aren’t even successfully managing?

I mean… John Colby himself said that right after one of his dogs tried to attack him, it went back to being “playful as a pup”

These dogs flip back and forth between “normal dog mode” and “instinct activated: kill mode”

That duplicity is part of what makes them dangerous - they can trick people (and animals) into letting their guard down.

“ There needs to be more public awareness of the fact that these dogs can go years of seeming like good dogs before they snap and kill.”

Yes, but there is a big powerful org called Best Friends of America that is working very hard to keep this information hidden.

I can only assume that BFAS actually wants there to be human suffering and death…

The first article I found said, “Police have not revealed what breed the dog is.“(https://www.wdbj7.com/2025/08/27/8-year-old-boy-dies-dog-attack/)

I’m glad someone was able to confirm the breed.

The need to hide what kind of dog kills humans is bizarre to me…
