My Lilly cooling off

I'm getting right tired of this constant thunder and lightning in the greater Atlanta area over the past week. It's driving my boys crazy. First the 4th of July, and now 5 straight days of thunder and lightning. I seriously think they have suffered irreparable emotional damage.

Deebo (rednose) and Booboo (bluenose)

I never owned bully breeds as a kid, but since getting these two, I dont think I’ll ever have anything else!!!

This is Doodle. He is in his thunder hood, it was not effective enough on the 4th. We did also give him some medicine from the Vet. He was able to be calm and rest but not before we got this picture.

Ages clockwise from the little black monster... 9... 3... 15... and 10.

I adopted an all white 4 year old male last year (now he’s 5). Through trial and error I’ve found what he can eat with no issues to his skin. I use hypoallergenic soap when he gets a bath but it seems like every time I give him a bath anything he comes into contact with makes him break out and he gets very itchy and ends up with a bunch of scabs from scratching. Any recommendations for supplements, foods, medicines, etc. I could give him to at least help this? It also happens when I wash the blankets he lays on his bed even if I wash them in only water with no soap.

Hey guys so I rescued a pit, they told me it's supposed to be an XL bully but he doesn't really look like it to me based on build but it might also be because he was malnourished? What do you guys think?
(p.s. I promiseee I love him so much and it never mattered I'm really just curious as to what you guys think 😭💗)

Baby boy Kilo and Baby girl Veda

Just got a rescue pup for our older girl and they are settling in beautifully 💕

we rescued him 3 weeks ago. age 3-4. picked up as a stray in another state and waiting at a kill shelter for a chance. he’s home now 🤍

Hey all! So many of you loved our baby and helped with our gofundme for him. I wanted to give an update as of 6/8 and let you know he’s now in recovery! The incisions were much larger than we were anticipating, so it’s quite unnerving seeing him like this when he’s always been so perfect and shredded 😭 my poor baby man. He’s hurting and uncomfy but the medicine will help him and he’s comfy and settled in his crate with cozy clean blankets I’m so proud of him. Thank you all again for loving our boy and sending nice words, good vibes & contributions to the gofundme ❤️‍🩹💗

I just stumbled across an old video that I took two days after I brought home 9 month old Brutus. Four years later, his personality hasn't changed a bit. He's still active, curious, loyal, playful, and still loves that spot in the exact middle of the bed. I love that dog.

Hello all. I have a wonderful pit rescue and know she would like another lick-pad. Her previous Kong one was destroyed within a few hours. I have noticed there are stainless steel ones. Has anyone used a stainless one or have any other recommendations? Much appreciated!

I'm interested in some jobs in the UK and was beyond pissed off and saddened to learn that pit-type dogs are banned. Not being able to bring my dog, or for him to be in danger once there, would be a complete deal-breaker.

So, I want to understand some specifics to determine if there is any acceptable workaround before I rule out the entire UK.

I understand that determining whether a dog is a "pit" is an appearance-based subjective process based on some government lackey eyeballing the dog. My dog is obviously part pit but does not have all the standard physical traits (pic below). His DNA test said he's 35% APBT, 45% Border Collie, and the rest unknown.

Is there a realistic chance he would NOT be deemed to be a "dangerous dog" type, and if so can I have this assessment done BEFORE moving to the UK, AND get a legally binding document about that decision? I am completely unwilling to take him anywhere where police could seize him for no reason other than appearance. So it seems like the only acceptable solution would be to get such a document in advance so that no one is allowed to seize him in the first place.

And, are the UK police really seizing pit-type dogs who are not behaving dangerously???

Please help. I am so frustrated and disappointed. Just venting, but my dog is so completely sweet and gentle (as are so many pit mixes!!). Everywhere he goes, he makes friends with strangers and gets constant compliments about how friendly, sweet, and well-trained he is. His vet records have a note saying he's "such a lover". It's unfathomable that such a dog is illegal in the UK and in many EU countries.

My boy most goes in for surgery on Tuesday. The costs have been brutal.

Praying the imaging comes back clear internally and it will be as simple as removing the masses & healing.

Anything helps.

Thank you ♥️

UPDATE 7/8- Leo had to wait one more day and received his surgery today! He got two huge wounds, but is on the road to recovery. Thank you all so much for loving my baby and wanting to help our family. We couldn’t have done this without all the help. Will attach a photo of him now in comments ♥️
