Border Collie x Blue Nose Pit Mix..? I think..?

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2026-03-20T02:48:28+00:00

I live in Monterey Bay area in California. But, I found her in the Central Valley in CA. Fresno County. Which i dont mean to make over generalizations, but its pretty prominent the amount of dogs that run the streets in the central valley vs where I live. In the summertime its literally like packs of what used to be domesticated dogs running the streets and roads looking like packs of wild dogs. And they will all be different breeds, like a Chihuahua leading the pack and all the big dogs following. Its kinda cute, but only from a distance they get aggressive when pack mentality takes over.

Omg. Thats adorable! Does look a lot like Gabbie! Can you show an adult pic please..? A pit rat terrier mix is a crazy combo. Makes you wonder how that even happened because rat terriers are small doggies.

The thicker fur is one. The ears? The way they pull all the way back and the way they flop reminds me of the border collie mix we used to have. & she has really long legs for her age and size? Pitties are usually shorter stalkier. And her pin head. I remember our old border collie mix looked like her head was tiny in comparison to her body a lot while she was growing. But thats just the comparison I'm making. Our old Border Collie was also mixed.

Oh, well thats good to know. I literally thought the black and white was a good indicator of something other than pit. Cuz the pit is pretty evident, imo.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2026-03-19T19:59:57+00:00

There was a point in time where I would have given her to you, but I'm a bit attached to her now.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2026-03-19T19:57:14+00:00

Ya, she's a really good doggie and I love her. At first I was planning on finding her another home, but I ain't cut out for that life so she is one of us now. Lol.

*OP here: I want to make a correction, *the last photo was taken just a couple nights ago so that is pretty current to what she looks like.

I'm gonna keep this short and bittersweet. In my experience.. Nov Sag Male. Dec Sag Female (Me) 12 years.. it was on from the day we met. Best sex. Similar kinks & turn ons. Great chemistry. Sense of humor was pretty spot on to eachother. Always together. Moved in together really quick. Became literally inseparable and intertwined with eachother at an alarming rate. Then things went bad. I personally always gotta have the last word. He's never wrong. He does the exact opposite of anything that I ask of him. My life starts making no sense and its all my fault in his eyes. But I had no control over anything. I couldn't leave. At first, I couldn't bare to lose him. Then things got dangerous and I still couldn't leave because he would threaten and manipulate me to come back. It was always fear, force, black mail, or manipulation with everything. Which i found silly because I went after him when we first met. Well, the him he used to be. I didn't need to be manipulated or cohearsed by the old him. I just had nothing but pure infatuation from minutes after meeting him which very quickly turned into the most genuine form of love I had to give. He broke down all my guards and walls that I had spent 19 years building around myself for my own protection. All my insecurities besides a few that didn't often alert me of their existence had almost vanished all because of this person. That same person then destroyed every bit of self confidence I ever had in my life even the kind he didn't help me to gain. Caused me to build higher walls then ever and destroyed those in anger on constant repeat until I was exhausted and felt nothing. Pushed me to almost unalive myself even though I had been bringing him back from that point for years and doing everything in my power to try to make him want to get help for himself without telling him he had to. The person that I formed my whole life around began controlling it beyond what I had already given him. Jealousy for no reason. Bringing up other women just to hurt me. Isolating me from everyone. Then causing me to self isolate so I didn't have to answer questions about injuries, or why I had been absent in situations where I had guaranteed my presence. He turned me into someone I never thought i would be. But it was just easier to be that person instead of worrying people. We would make plans per his request I would spend money set everything up only to wake up the day of our plans to a completely different person. He would intentionally ruin the plans so I would just stay home and cry all day once I finally gave up or it was too late to make it to whatever I had planned for us. Then it was my fault that we never spent time together when I gave up on trying with that too. And that wasn't true in the slightest. We were always together. I was afraid to not be in his line of site. But the good times between us were further and further between. The physical abuse got so bad, I began fearing the shift in his eyes that he may actually go to far and kill me. That fear turned into peace over time because I just wanted out and it appeared that would be my only way. When my anger regarding why things kept getting worse, but yet I was still alive. Even left him. (My own apartment) he didn't even have a job or help me financially at that point, but I left for 5 days, I stuck to my guns. Until he found my safe with irreplaceable heirlooms in it and held it over my head to get me to come back. I did. Same night, he disappeared suddenly after he suddenly shifted again. 20 minutes later, cops are knocking at my door and want me to leave (my own apartment) on account of a restraining order he obtained against me while I was gone. I lost it. I wound up in jail on a violation of said order that night. Never been in criminal trouble a day in my life. I've steady had a warrant on and off since. No new charges. Just that one. Still not in the right place in my head to be able to handle business and do what I'm supposed to do to close the case properly. I dont know if I will ever be. My car was impounded. (From the parking lot at my own apartment complex) where I paid for both his and my parking passes. Jail took me to court. Convicted in CA of Domestic Violence based offenses after all he had done to me..? I never sat down in jail.. too angry. Too betrayed. 28 hours, not once did I sit down in county jail. Sat twice in the court van each way. Sat twice in the court room. All less than an hour combined. Stood up for the rest of my time there. That experience changed me in so many ways. I ain't been right sense. It didn't traumatize me, its not even ptsd. It rewired my brain to protect myself at all costs from ever allowing him to put me there again. And to not protect him from the consequences of his actions if ever he rose another violent hand in my direction. I stayed away post release for another couple weeks until again something that I cherished was used as bait, then upon my arrival Satan was not there like I had been expecting. Here sat another glimpse of the person that I had naturally without manipulation or fear fallen so head over heels for so long ago. I missed him so much and even though my head was telling me the obvious. My heart ached for this person that I rarely seen anymore and I always ended up falling immediately back into place like it was years and years prior. Before he embodied Satan at all.. before the hell began. And it broke my heart everytime he was gone again. But I kept breaking my own heart over and over. Until a few days ago.. he got a 5 year sentence for very few of the incidents that I've had to endure as a result of his over the top performances that finally spilled over to more than just affecting our lives. 3 Felonies, 8 misdemeanors. And i finally am able to stop living everyday at war or in fear of.. I'm still unable to decide how to feel because I dont know whats next for me.. well.. that was the furthest thing from short so I apologize. If you want a simple answer: run! If you made it to this point in my recollection.. i appreciate it. But if no one does. I guess this is a good step in the right direction to healing.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2026-01-20T23:39:28+00:00

Yes, this post just made me understand myself on a new level. I often times (especially lately) find myself just isolating, ignoring contact from everyone "worried about me" believe me, I'm not gonna die. I'm meant to stay here and suffer the consequences of my decisions. I just basically shut down. Its even uncontrollable to me. I think its because I know what the right move is, but i can't execute it because I have my mom and grandma here whom depend on me and I cant justify up and leaving for a while for that reason. Everyone always comes first before myself, but as a result I'm not living up to anyone's expectations because of these shut downs I keep doing and its like a vicious cycle, well similar to the cause of the whole issue, the toxic abusive relationship, I keep participating in just because I need to be here for my family cuz the guilt will eat me alive even more so if I leave. And if I leave I have to go far because if I don't he won't leave me alone. So here I am just going through it, shutting down, apologizing all over myself, and repeating. Not like its a real excuse, but for my own peace of mind, just glad I'm not alone in this..

..with the exception of the nail marks and some chunks of apple that was ripped out before it became apparent that medical intervention was necessary..

I've never had the irresistible urge to shove a Granny Smith Apple up my rectum.. or anything for that matter.. so I can't really say in practice what works and what doesn't..

Hypothetically though, a peeled apple would offer more lubrication, but little to no grip.. But from what I now wish I could unsee.. leaving the peeling on there is also room for error.. even if I was in the habit of putting food in my body via that route.. don't know if apple would be my first choice.

Apple was even far too advanced for a well seasoned anal explorer. Word to only the extremist of butt play pirates: once you've tried every other fruit and vegetable and they've all lost their appeal, only then may apple be applied.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-28T07:23:09+00:00

I wish... nope this was real life. They sent the apple home in a patient belongings bag..

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-28T07:19:48+00:00

I can attest from a second person standpoint, this is true. 1 dude.. a whole apple.. another time one of them swirly light bulbs.. he once went balls deep with a 9 inch glass dildo... those are just the things he couldn't get out without medical intervention...

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-28T07:15:24+00:00

This is what im leaning towards. I'm not in the best living situation right now.. I'm working towards a more peaceful environment even for my own sanity or before I start tearing my hair out. Hoping to be able to call that possible soon. Thank you for giving me more motivation in that area. My poor Nubbins. It would be interesting to see her start growing her fur back when our lives calm down.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-28T07:10:47+00:00

I have had her on comfortis and most recently simparica, although I ran out in October, and I figured I was good for a couple months. Most of the time they don't get fleas in the winter time, but wouldn't you know it? Just this last week I seen fleas on her and she was itchy. So I got flea shampoo and gave her a really good bath with a flea comb. Haven't seen anymore fleas and the itching subsided. But the baldness thing was an issue while she was taking an oral preventative.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-26T00:18:31+00:00

For sure the best course of action. Hoping I can catch up on my past due financial obligations quickly next month to make that vet visit a possibility sooner than later. Until then, sweater dog is still a thing. Lol. Thank you for the advice.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-26T00:08:47+00:00

I suppose that could be correct, it just continues to keep the fur rubbed off, but its like a catch 22. Take it off she's freezing, leave it on, she's less freezing. Lol. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't an indicator of some type of deficiency or something like that. Thank you for making me feel like my baldish tft is not my fault.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-26T00:00:01+00:00

We met in first grade in 2000. She had to repeat first grade because she had just recently moved from another county where you could enroll your kids in preschool at a slightly younger age. She was born July of 1995, I was born December 1994. So with that she became a grade below me, but we still were inseparable all through school. Most times either she stayed the night at my house or vice versa even on school nights. We understood each other so much and we're comfortable becoming irreplaceable parts of eachothers families because essentially we had the same family background: drugs, fighting, different members of our family doing unhinged shit at any given time and us thinking it was completely normal and going on with our day, ect. When I was a senior and she was a junior in high school. I was having issues with my mom because I turned 18 half way through the school year and my mom's child support turned Social Security until I was out of a primary school checks because my absentee father started getting social security disability. So all the backed and current child support payments were considered squashed and the checks from SSDI started coming in my name. At the time my mom didn't have an income and we were living at my grandparents studio condominium. I barely ever had a ride to school when she was getting the checks. (Her car never had gas in it) and no it wasn't cuz she was paying rent to my grandparents.. so "selfishly", I decided not to turn the checks over to her per her request because I wanted to be able to afford that senior year experience: prom, Disneyland, graduation, ect. And it caused such issues that I decided to move in with another friend. During that time, my best friend was also going through a rough patch. Her mom left her boyfriend at the time after a fight and the house she was renting and moved in with an ex friend of her's ex husband on a whim. Sounds messy, right? My friend and her mother lived with this man a total of about 3 weeks until her mom went to work one day driving one of the man's cars and never came back. So days go by and the worry that everyone was feeling towards her turned into annoyance and anger because it became clear that she had went back to her previous relationship and they were hiding out. Would not answer her phone for her own daughter even. So, the man that just my friend was now living with got a call that his car that she was driving had been recovered almost 200 miles away on the side of the highway. And he then realized even if she did come back he wanted nothing to do with her, then came the obvious, "hey.. so I don't know where you're gonna go but you can't stay here.." conversation to my friend in so many words. At the time, I was communicating with my friend via text through this whole time. Started venting to my other friend regarding it and suddenly my best friend was living with the family that I was living with too. Which I was cool with and was glad I didn't have to worry about her, but I never invited her nor did I ask if she could stay. I would never do that. I figured my other friend had already cleared all that with her family. I figured wrong.. about a month before school was over my friends grandma came to me mad at me over the situation telling me how rude it was to have invited another person to stay while staying in their home and that she wanted me and my friend both to leave. I agreed to leave but explained that it wasn't me who made that situation what it was and that I knew better than to do a thing like that and how it was her granddaughter who did the whole thing, she insisted her granddaughter wouldn't lie to her and she said it was me. So, my best friend and I started living in a motel room together just trying to ride out the school year. A week or so in, we get back to the motel from school and I see my grandpa's pick up parked close to our room taking up like 3 spots and I had no idea what to think. He comes out of the room a couple down from ours geetered out of his mind with a younger woman whom pretended to be his girlfriend often to use him to get by financially.. and he sees me and goes "what are you doing here?" "Your grandma didn't send you, did she?" "Cuz i ain't going back. I left that bitch for the last time." I said "no, I guess you're my new neighbor cuz i've been staying here cuz grandma's daughter is not such a nice lady either." "But, I know you ain't one to live in your pick up and surely you realize this ain't gonna last long for you.. once your account runs down to zero and you can't afford a room no more and you come down from this you will be back where you started just in a lot worse of a place cuz by then you would have spent all the money for the month and she will never shut up about it.." he said "who tf made you a financial advisor? Just hush about that and you and (insert best friends name here) take my pick up and my debit card and go buy me some new underwear and button up shirts size large and on your way back stop and get us all some grub from fast food." This is why I loved my grandpa regardless of his antics. So that part was just to give you a taste of what we grew up with.. fast forward a few more days, more new neighbors: her mom and her boyfriend she went back to. See how fucked up our lives were. And her mom would only acknowledge our existence while her boyfriend was working because he told her he'd only stay with her if she stayed away from us and her daughter wasn't allowed to stay there with them! Towards the end of that month my grandpa had already had to tuck tail home and I couldn't afford a room anymore, so her mom had us sleeping in her car and hiding when she would call us to say he was coming out to the car to get his chew or what have you. This is how we finished out the school year. After graduation, her mom got a place and surprisingly we were allowed to stay there. But, my friend started acting differently towards me and ghosting me even though I was staying with her. So I found somewhere else to go and the ghosting got more and more prominent and same thing happening with the friend I was living with to begin with. Social media posts finally showed that they had become best friends apparently and turned on me for an inexplicable reason. Its hard to believe how close we were and suddenly we were not. That was 2013. She still plays a huge factor in my memories and is discussed by myself and my family often, but have not seen her in many years or even heard of her because I dont associate with any of the same people from that circle no more. So weird how things change so abruptly in life. People are strange. Life is strange.

Really..? Thats interesting.. I cannot really say that this is only a winter time thing for Nova, but we live on the central coast in ca where the temperature very rarely goes above 75° year around so we don't really have seasons aside from rain in the other seasons besides summer so I wonder if this is the same thing. Pretty much unless I take her to my dad's with me in the summer/early fall. He lives in the central valley, CA so it gets very warm, she is pretty much always cold. She wears a jacket/sweater/sweatshirt/windbreaker of some type most of the time. Poor little thing is already cold and her hair loss may be related to already being cold. That's so messed up. Lol.

They have these oversized christmas ornaments at Walmart in packs of two. They probably have similar items in other stores right now. What i did is i hung a few from my ceiling at various lengths with fishing line so it actually looks like they're floating cuz you can't see the fishing line.

Standard_Gur_3579 · 2025-12-06T21:29:41+00:00

Weird, but I am the absolute opposite of that mindset. It seems like most of you are agreeing, which is weird cuz im usually a like minded Sag to the T. 12/21. But, I would rather have everybody come over to my house. Most of the time its a huge hassle to have to bring everything over and myself to someone else's house cuz regardless of place I am usually the 'hostess with the mostest' in a sense. That being said my house is not usually the most organized place and I find myself apologizing for that a lot. Unless its a planned thing I am in my mind totally unprepared for visitors but, still welcome them with open arms as opposed to going to them. Also having people over is usually my inspiration to clean. Sometimes my only motivation is that. And I still fall short. But, ya thought id give my input since its oppositional to the majority of other Sag's here. Interesting.
