To say I am extremely proud of how far this boy has come, is an understatement. Those who saw how explosive he was and how he would test and challenge humans, will be able to confirm that this guy, has come a very, very long way ๐พ๐ฅฐ
We couldnโt allow children anywhere near him, for a while. And look at him now.
Tarzan. Such a magnificent dog! Still a bit of a nutter. But a really cool guy.
A beautiful friend, Jordyn Watts, settled this stress for us. Thank you Jordi ๐๐ผ๐พ

Thank you Dawsons Lodge for keeping this queen safe for us, while we waited for the mud to dry.
We are truly blessed and grateful for the incredible response received when our property flooded last week Wednesday. Many kind donors arrived with blankets, food, treats, toys,etc. As a result, we have a single garage filled with blankets. We have hundreds of blankets. The reality is that we cannot use all of these blankets, not even over the next 2-3 years. Therefore, we truly want to re donate. HOWEVER we want to donate to rescues who are in real need. So far we have chosen Pet Rescue in Benoni and No More Tears in Randfontein. Both these rescues are close to our hearts and in need. Please give your nomination in the comments. Rescues that do township outreach work. Or rescues not receiving as much public support. The only thing we ask, is that they will collect the blankets themselves, or arrange transportation themselves.
Cement needed to elevate the floors, in case another flood hits. Pawthy please ๐พ
We need about 40 bags and we need some stone.
Contact Chantelle at 0793440411 if you can help ๐๐ผ
Bennie is coming home, from the boarding kennels. Thank you Dawsons Lodge in Benoni, for caring for some of our dogs, while we had to wait for all the mud sludge to dry ๐๐ผ
I am moving these sweethearts back slowly, one at a time.
We currently have some dogs in different boarding kennels.
We will soon thank every boarding kennel on the page.

You are my sunshine.
But my sunshine was taken away.
I donโt really know how or when exactly it started, but whenever Teddy was scared, I would softly sing him this song. Today was the last time I got to sing to my Ted.
Teddy was sent here from Woodrock. He wasnโt being very nice to anyone at Woodrock and showed much hostility. When we first met, he snarled at me and tried to attack me through a reรฏnforced steel gate, with foamy ๐ฉธ all over his face, as he smashed himself against the gate to get to me. The first words I softly spoke to him โYou may want to eat me now. But watch, you and I, we are going to be like this ๐ค๐ผ.โ
And we were. Teddy didnโt love anyone, but he loved me. And I loved him. Dearly.
End of last year, Ted developed a tiny lump next to his nose. He was diagnosed with bone cancer. The lump became a bit bigger. Today I took him to the vet and the lump could slightly move on the bone. The vet said it is possible that itโs a bone cyst and it can be removed. On opening the lump up, it looked like a cap that can pop off. It did pop off but under it was clear spongy bone cancer.
Today I decided to not let Teddy suffer. He peacefully went, while under sedation.
Everyone who knows me and Teddy, knows the close bond we had. He adored me. If I was with him, he would tolerate other people. If not, no chance. He wouldnโt play with anyone, but me. I could carry him around and spray him fly spray. He hated the fly spray.
I love you Tedooorus. Always have, always will. Never did I think that my first words to you would become such a reality. Where you are now, you are friends with everyone and nothing scares you anymore. Play your heart out, my sunshine.
Where Pit Bulls and Pit type dogs, get a deserving second chance.
