If only every dog could have a human like this, loving them for life.

Seven years ago, I walked into a store simply to buy croquettes.
I didn't have any particular project, I didn't imagine I'd come up with anything other than a bag of food.

In a corner, in a small cage, he was there.
A quiet puppy, with that look that crosses you without a word.
At that moment I knew it I couldn't let it go.

I put it in the cart without thinking too much.
I didn't know what awaited us, but I was sure he would go with me.

Seven years later today, this puppy is my best friend.
We shared endless walks, challenging days and moments that transformed me.
He taught me patience, loyalty and unconditional love.

Same aisle, same store... but every memory blows the same thing to me:
It was the best decision of my life. ❤️

Day 6 and this cutie has gained good weight. His spine, hip bones and shoulder blades are no longer visible. In another 2-3 days, Luke will also no longer have ribs protruding.
Such a super, super sweet boy. Adores human children. Always so happy. He really loves foodies, which is 100% understandable 🐾

He is an old boy. He needs a retirement home with high jump proof walls, where he can spend his days chilling on the couch and cuddling a human in bed at night. To steal him will be super easy. His little heart is a typical Pit Bull heart and he adores any and all humans. He will have to be an only fur child though. Is this home out there, somewhere for him?

Home checks apply. No, we don’t accept a video, due to safety concerns when it comes to this dog. We require proof of residence and a copy of ID and proof of income. The lifelong safety of our dogs is top priority. Every dog that comes in, receives a verbal promise from me that they will never fight again. Ever. And I look them in the eye when I promise them this. I don’t break promises.

October is indeed a very special month. It is designated as National Pit Bull Awareness Month, and we also share this month with cancer survivors.

I so wish people could understand why it’s not as simple as just taking in, when it comes to Pit Bulls and Pit type dogs. Most rescues and SPCA branches cannot safely house these dogs, without risking every other animal in their care. If people knew exactly how short the rope is for this breed, they would think long and hard before breeding more into existence. They will really think, before getting one of these dogs. The rope is way shorter for the Pit Bull and Pit type dogs, than for any other dogs out there.
The most over bred, most exploited, most discarded and most euthanised breed internationally…. The Pit Bull 😞

1.5 years ago, I bought my car from Chery Boksburg. I struggled for years without a reliable car, after life exploded on me. To say that this car is my precious, is an understatement. But alas, so are the dogs and my children. The car is my most prized material possession, after years of blood, sweat, tears and many a kilometres walked. My kids and the dogs are my eternity blessings.

A while back I took my car in for a service and saw another Chery Tiggo 4, with a back specifically for dogs. So no backseats. All dog space. I thought “Man, if I didn’t have children and knew of this guy when I bought my car, THIS would be the one I would buy!” If I had no shortage in money, I would just go and get this guy, specifically for the dogs. Want mense, this little Chery had only given me joy. I am so happy with this car and the after service from Chery SA. The punishment this car endures, because of the work it has to put in to function as a rescue taxi/mom’s taxi/wedding photographer mobile, is a sad situation actually. But this little trooper just keeps going.

Last week, Koa bled and turned Tiggo 4 into a massacre scene. Two days later Luke was found and his tummy that survived off of raw sewerage exploded in Tiggo 4. Today Ethan, who is such a well behaved boy, just couldn’t keep it any longer. He kept it in at the vet, to not mess in his cage. Then, while driving home he asked me to go. But unfortunately it was not a safe area to stop and I prayed for a few minutes of miracle pooper muscle control. Unfortunately this miracle didn’t come our way annnnd kaboooom! Eth was so embarrassed. Peeked through the seats with a goofy, guilty little smiles. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Mense, if you want a nippy, reliable, reasonably priced car with all the luxuries, Chery is your first stop.

Then, our vet Annarie is incredible. She fixed Leah, Koa and Ethan up so beautifully and she is such a gentle, compassionate human. Elite Veterinary and Wildlife Services, for all kinds of delicate and specialist procedures. You will be super grateful for this tip, should you someday need it. Cell: 0715701473

Dan daai outjies that so diligently comes to clean this Pit Mobile of mine, whenever explosions and massacres happen… They refuse to charge R5 for their incredible work. These four young men each have their own Pit Bull at home. One of them already had to put up a fight to keep his dog. They came up with this mobile car valet service idea and they are trying to grow it into a successful business. Their prices are incredible and they really deserve their dream to become a reality. Please support them.
