Heading to the rescue today to pick her up. She is 10 weeks old. She was rescued from a horrific situation with dreadful conditions. The rescue named her Pickles. We arent sure if we will keep that name for her. What name would you give her? happysister.jpg
My wife got a message on FB last week from the lady we adopted our current pit from (she runs a shelter for pits) she sent my wife a picture of this beautiful brunel pit and said the puppy was lonely and refused to eat. Without intervention he was going to be put down. We are not ready for another dog now. We are buying a new house etc. I told my wife under those circumstances we would take him and make him family. 20 minutes later she said they had already put him down without her knowledge. I am so pissed.
Awe man shes so cute and props to you for saving her life! My boy has a beautiful blue girl bully whose about a year and a half and i love her to death. She's such an affectionate girl which is what i love in about dogs. I had to put my Dane down this past October and i miss her and her brother so much. I wish i was rich cuz id have about 8 Great Danes plus a rescue for everything else lol
Ive not had a puppy this young before. What the hell do you do to get some sleep? I put her in a crate, she barks non stop so I take her out. I put her in bed and she wants to chew on me with teeth like needles. I wonder if I will get some sleep....Ohhhh shit...what did I get myself into? LOL

A lot of shelter managers are cold blooded murderers. Our shelter was killing 8 week old puppies. These people have no remorse and are as cold as ice. Fucking disgusting.
Oh boy, it gets better. But for all practical purposes you just brought a piranha into the house. Shes teething and discovering that it's fun to bite. I've found the best deterrent to the biting is when she bites you to take your thumb and hold her tongue down. It's very unpleasant but doesnt hurt her, and she will emediatly pull away but it's a very effective method to teach her not to bite and usually works pretty quick. Dont play tug-o-war with her and definitely dont rough house play with her it encourages bad behavior as adults. I've raised many pit pups and they are the sweetest, fiercely loyal dogs. Try getting a pillow or blanket or something that smells like you and put in her pen. Also dont let her nap a lot in afternoon, wear her out playing or go for a long walk before bed time so she will be more likely to sleep for a few hours. Raising a pit puppy is like raising a child, with a mouth foul of needles lol. My arms have been so marked up from my pups before lol
Oh also if her crate is big enough get in it with her or sit right beside it at bedtime and pet her, no playing, just try to mellow her out so she will sleep. Once shes asleep u can go to bed. Sleep when she sleeps lol it's the only true path to getting rest. Be patient bud, shes had a traumatic youth but u got her young enough to teach her to be a loving quality family pet.
She howled bloody murder while she was in that crate ...as soon as I put her in bed with me, she slept like a rock. As long as her head is on me, she is fine. Dang this girl is a handful.
I had one that always wanted to lay his head on my neck while I slept. It was cool while he was 8 weeks lol, wasn't so cool when he was 6 months...
U can put a stuffed animal his size In his crate and they will often snuggle it like they do u. A nice trick is to put a ticking clock inside the stuffed animal so it simulates heart beat.(-; such fun creatures but they will test your parenting skillz 😁
