#NylaboneCares Thank You! The woofers LOVE their Nylabones!!!
UPDATE: Just had a good conversation with a member of SOAR, who has been trying to help this dog. For the last couple of weeks, Duke has been in the possession of a mentally ill homeless individual who has been witnessed severely beating the dog on multiple occasions. I'm going to orchestrate a transfer over to Peaceful Souls, where they will hold him until we can (hopefully) get him back to his rightful owner(s).
His name is Duke. He has a microchip. But his owners are not answering their phone. Haven't created any posts of their own. Not responding to mine. Dog is unneutered, underfed, and has scarring from a major wound that was never medically treated on his front arm. And ir has now been over five hours. Hoping to hear from someone soon.
The dominant primordial beast is he, who has won to mastery. This is the law of pack hierarchy. This is the law of club and fang. Ceasar and I have reached an understanding as to who is running the show, here…and it ain’t him.👍👍
He has a long way to go, but he will eventually be up for adoption through Lucci’s House Bully Rescue.
How I rehabilitate human aggression in dogs, session 1
The pups will be ready for adoption in two weeks.
After dinner, potty and play it’s sleepy snuggle time. My favorite kind.
I’m in absolute puppy heaven. All the bs, all the worry and all the work - SO worth it for these moments. Every last little bit of life’s pain just temporarily melts away when I’m with these puppies. This is ALL I want to do, now.🤷🏻♂️
Their mouth needles have dropped, so bite inhibition work begins. Here’s Edna, learning not to bite my nose so hard.
Reason #1,794,360 why you should crate train your dog:
What if you had a dog once, and she got lost. Maybe lost and never to be found by you again. But maybe she hadn’t been hit by a car or something worse? Maybe she figured out a way to survive without you, as the years passed? Maybe she was even taken in at some point, by some lesser person, who threw a big-ass choker chain on her and just neglected her? Who knows? Maybe she eventually escaped from that person, went on her own way, once again.
Then maybe she got pregnant.
Then…maybe right as she was right about to have a litter of puppies in the freezing cold at the end of November, she was lucky enough to be sighted by a human who decided to stop and try to help her. But human can’t bring her into his home, because she might have sarcoptic mange. New place is smaller, and he is not equipped with the resources to take in random stray dogs anymore. It’s freaking Thanksgiving, and to even put out a plea for help is almost dumb. So what could possibly be done for this girl? Human cannot take the risk of having her destroy the interior of his vehicle by leaving her in there all day.  Cannot bring her inside. Does not have a backyard or garage suitable to leave her in.
But what if…just what if…she can manage being crated inside the human’s vehicle for 24 hours or so, just to stay safe and warm and fed???
Well…if she had never been inside of a crate, good chance she would have flipped out upon being sent in. And that would not have worked out. Can’t have a screaming, panicking dog inside my vehicle all day. 
But she didn’t panic. And since she didn’t, this dog lives to fight another day under vastly superior circumstances than what she woke up to this morning.
And there’s only one reason her fate has taken a turn for the better – at some point in this dogs life, someone socialized her to entering into and being alone inside of a crate.
