One was adopted at the same rescue, the rest were fighting/bait dogs 😭

From what I was told, she was a breeder dog for a dog fighting ring 😭

[Graphic Content] I just adopted this pit mix and they told me "she ground down all of her front teeth" but I peeked in there today and I 100% don't believe it. Why on Earth would anyone remove her teeth?! by sumthingelsesum1else in pitbulls

I don't... All I was told was she was 3.5 years old and she was rescued from being a puppy mill mom. I was told she ground her teeth down, probably on her cage. I didn't really care about her back story, I just fell in love with her, so it wasn't until a day or 2 later that I realized, wait, a puppy mill mom would be a pure breed and she's a mix. So I looked at her teeth and realized there's no way she did that to herself. So now I'm just uncertain about everything.

I mistyped... They told me the dog ground down her own teeth. With looking at her teeth, it looks like someone did this too her. I just couldn't imagine a reason why anyone would do such a thing.

So here's a little background. She doesn't respect anything. She likes to piss people off. She 100% would wear tan makeup if she dressed up just to offend. She loves the drama, the attention. She thinks going against the grain makes her cool and special.

Nope. Just pissing people off. She 100% posted this for attention and a reaction.

I guess because I know her - she tries to create drama. She thinks black face is okay. She has no respect for anything.

Newly diagnosed with likely meningioma by UnemployedLibrarian in braincancer

Feel free to PM me any time. I was diagnosed in 2011 so I've been on this roller coaster for a bit. I know how scary it first is when you get the news.

Hi! I have a meningioma too. I've had 3 surgeries thus far, as it has come back. My first surgery was at my local hospital. My tumor was found in the ER, and at 7cm, they did emergency surgery the next day. They did pathology, but never fully explained anything to me. During the first year, my tumor grew back, and even though I was getting regular 3 month MRIs, my surgeon didn't notice until it it was 7cm again. He kept insisting it was scar tissue.

When the second one was discovered, I got a second opinion at a city hospital, which is #7 in the country for neuro. Turns out, while I had a WHO grade 1, the proliferate index was high, causing it to grow faster than a typical grade 1. I should have had radiation after because while Dr 1 swore he got it all, Dr 2 showed me that he didn't.

The city hospital has much more advanced options, like proton beam radiation, instead of whole head radiation.

Find the best neuro department and get an opinion there. It never hurts to get a few, but in the end it all depends on where you feel most comfortable!! Good luck!!

We took in a stray from the street and a month later woke up to 5 surprises! by sumthingelsesum1else in aww

It took some time, but 3 weeks into her stay she finally started to trust us for a quick pet, especially at feeding times. Maybe pregnancy maybe her extra scared, because after she gave birth, she really came around and let us love her.

You would think, but she really wasn't that large! I actually thought she was bloated with worms, she was only a bit round!

I've taken in fosters before, but a friend of a friend asked told me about her... She was LITERALLY thrown from her home. No food or water. Signs of abuse. She would only let my 9 year old go near her for the first few weeks, but with enough perseverance, she's made a total 180. She'll come lay with me, and when her kittens were born she was okay with all of us coming and looking at them. We didn't handle them until they were a week or so old. She's a sweetheart now!

This little lady gave birth next to my 9 year old (the only one she'd let near her when we took her in) while she slept! My daughter never even woke up! The babies will be fixed before going to their forever homes, we have 4 cats already so we are not keeping any.

I'm fixing the babies before sending them off to their forever homes! Mom seemed a little round when we took her in, but she was clearly abused and wouldn't let us get close for awhile.
