Well...Last night the dog went stupid and killed another one of my kittnes.

I don't know what went wrong with the dog..she was raised with cats..she's always acted like a cat herself...because being with the cats is all she ever knew..but suddenly she just got so awful mean to them..Not only the babies..but the grown cats as well...

I love cats...I have always loved cats so much and the things that dog done to them honestly gave me nightmares...to the point that I couldn't sleep..I was waking up at every little thing...I was just so afraid the dog would grab ahold of another cat..and it was breaking my heart and just messing with me all the way around...

The only reason we kept the dog this long was because Brady was so attached to it...but he's like me..he's a big cat lover as well...Plus..Joe got it for me on my birthday 4 years ago...This is a Chinese Pug I'm talking about..these dogs are not known to be violent at all, in fact tonight I have read and read and read all I could find about pugs...I have always read into the breed and learned all about them..I have looked the internet over for one case of a pug being mean or aggressive and there's nothing to be found...All you will see is how amazing and gentle they are...but this one was getting very mean...meaner by the day...and worse and worse...And these dogs can't be kept outdoors..they just can't adapt to the weather..they're very sensitive to heat and cold both...

So here was the breaking point...last night I was sitting here on the computer..Brady had just got out of the shower and came in the living room and sit down..we was talking and suddenly he went to screaming "Oh God mommy help me!" This scared the life out of me..I jumped up and turned around and the dog had grabbed one of the kittnes and just ripped it to shreds, nearly right on top of Brady...he was smacking the dog, yelling at it trying to get it to drop the cat..there was a mess all over the floor...The dog just went crazy...

I don't think I'v ever seen Brady so upset before..that really scared him and of course it crushed him nside because he loved that kitten and the dog both.....We put the dog outside on the pourch..and decided that it had to leave....

So this morning the dog was on the front pourch...and she clawed and scratched on the door until her toes was bleeding...it was actually freaky because it seemed like the more she hurt her toes, the harder she'd scratch...I couldn't make her stop...I tried talking to the dog...I reached to touch her and she jumped back and made a weird noise at me...so I finally got her and put her in the basement..again..she done the same thing...clawing until her toes was pouring the blood..and wouldn't stop...it was like the more she hurt herself the harder she was trying to do it...

She's always been a house dog, never around other dogs or animals..just the cats we had...She's been took very good care of..had all of her shots..slept in the bed with the kids at night...basically this dog was nothing less than a member of the family...

Well after last nights scene..the kids both wanted the dog to leave...and I admit..I did too...I was so mad and angry at her and a little scared of her at the same time...So we gave her to a woman who has no kids or anything...hopefully the dog will be okay and stop trying to kill everything she lays eyes on..

I feel kinda sad not having her around...everything seems so quiet..

but the cats seem at ease now lol( a true but lame joke)...

And the kids are fine..They both seem more at ease now not worrying about the dog attacking the cats again...I just feel really bad that Brady had to witness something like that...I mean..what in the world would make that dog suddenly start acting so bizzare...?

The only thing I can think of is maybe jealousy..Even though she had been around cats all of her life..Maybe she suddenly started getting jealous because the kids as well as me and Joe would play with the cats and give them attention...But that still don't explain why she started clawing the doors and walls until her toes bled..and then seem to go at it even harder..like she was enjoying inflicting pain on herself.....It's just plain creepy....After this I swear I will never, ever own another dog...this totally broke me..I'm still really confused by it...and still kinda creeped out over it all....

 

Oh my goodness gracious! I am so so very sorry to be reading about what has been happening & the recent event

I know this will be of no comfort to you but when I was younger we had a dog, a Doberman, named MacBeth. From the get go the dog was a bit . . . off. His way of playing was to grab you by the back of the neck & pull you down. We do disliked when our parents told us we had to go out there & play with him. We had rabbits outside in a sturdy hutch. Over time he got it broken into & killed one of our rabbits. I witnessed that! After that he was so off the wall, the vet said once he got the taste of blood . . well. In ending we discovered the dog's line had been over bred, his skull was too small for his brain, pressure caused him to not think or behave correctly.

With yours? I am not sure, but I am so sorry for you & your loved ones to have to go through all of that. Heartwrenching in ALL ways!
God Bless & God Speed My Friend!

This is so sad. Poor Brady, to witness that. Sad as it is, be thankful it wasn't a child. That would be devastating. We never really know about animals, do we? I hope all goes well from here on out. Blessings and love to you!!
