So I spent the better part of last night stiching up my mothers dog, because we live in the country and there are no vets open past like 5 pm. Sadly enough it was MY dog who attacked her dog. My dog is a pit and has never attacked anything or anyone in her whole life. Now im stuck trying to figure out if I risk keeping her. If it was just an isolated action. Im afraid that now she has gotten a taste for blood she is never going to be the same loving dog that I cherish. I dont know what to do. I feel so helpless. I was barely able to save my mothers dog so it was serious attack. But today my dog is acting like nothing happened.
Ive been raised around big dogs and dangerious animals my who life and in any other case I would have sadly put the animal down. But I truely love my pit and I just dont know what to do. Whats worse is that because I live up in the mountains in a town full of tweekers my dog is my only friend up here.
I would break my heart to have to put her down, and I would be totaly alone....
It makes me think of the last pit I had. He had to be put down because of a botched sergery and it killed me. I had only had him for 10 days. Ive had this dog for 6 months and saw her often when I would visit my mother before that. I just dont know what to do. do I wait and see if she attacks something again...Or do I put my heartbreak aside and put her down on the chance it would be safer for the house hold?
I really wish I had someone up here I could talk to. I dont know if ill keep my sanitiy without my dog, she is the only thing up here that brings joy into my life.
God I wish there was a clear answer...I feel alone already just thnking about it.
