Maggie killed a little baby bird today

I had Maggie outside this morning in the yard. She's been irritating me lately because she takes forever to use the bathroom. This morning was no exception.  When she didn't come back up the steps, I went down to find her.  She was obviously looking for something but was unable to find it. Turns out the was a baby robin in the yard, chirping it's little head off. Maggie's not an aggressive dog by any stretch of the imagination. I walked over to the baby bird and helped nudge it out of the open and in tons one brush.  My goal was to keep it out of the open because I didn't want Maggie to go after it. I also know that there was a stray cat stalking it from…

My pit bull viciously attacking my leg proves stereotype Maggie is our ten-year-old English Staffy. She's more commonly referred to as a pit bull. This breed gets an absolutely horrible rap because some of these dogs have assholes for owners. Any dog with an asshole for an owner can end up violent. Maggie is the absolute most gentle dog I've ever met in my life. She shares her kennel with one of our cats, cause she feels safe with Maggie. Our ferrets love Maggie as well. She's so gentle with them, as they pounce on her from all directions. Maggie proves the stereotype people apply to pit bulls, wrong.

Maggie just got into a fight with a massive raccoon

I just let Maggie outside and not two seconds after she hit the porch, something came walking up the steps.  Maggie was gone and all I heard this really loud growling.   Next thing I know, Maggie's going absolutely crazy and she's in a fight with something.   I ran into the house to grab a flashlight and wiffle bat before dashing back out to the yard. The fight was taking place in some brush so I couldn't see what was going on.   I know a wiffle bat won't do shit but it's all I had immediate access to in the moment.  It was so loud that my neighbors came out to make sure Maggie was okay.   A few seconds later, Maggie bursts through the bushes and is…

Our Naughty Dog Caught On Camera: You have to see this to believe it (@vivinthome)

It's been a really long night already and it's not over yet.  The boys came home today and when we went tried to put them in bed, we ran into a a problem.   Elliott soon discovered that his bed was soaked and I mean soaked. I'm not talking someone spilled a water bottle kinda wet either.  We're talking someone or something dropped like a gallon of pee all over his bed.  Everyone was confused because the amount was so much that it had to be a person.   With the boys being gone all day, we could rule them out and I know of it wasn't Lizze or myself.   I had no idea what happened.  Then it occurred to me that I could check the camera feed from…

Maggie’s got a clean bill of health

Maggie had what was believed to be a cancerous tumor removed from her leg about a week and a half ago.  The surgery went well and she has recovered nicely.  This morning, she went in for her followup appointment and to get her stitches removed.  Thankfully, she has a clean bill of health and is healed from her surgery.  I'm pretty grateful for that because she's such a huge part of our lives and we love her tremendously.... ☺
