Found a pitbull

He is so gorgeous.  I don't know what happened to his owner or person.  Maybe he just escaped and can't remember how to get home.  I placed him on craigslist Pet section and Lost & Found section.  I have a few people that are interested but he is still here with us.  I found him laying on the side of the road.  Next to my neighbor yard.  He was given food but seems like he didn't eat it.  So I summoned him to follow me and he did.  I been feeding him rice and meat and he seems to like it.  He's been with us for a 3 days 2 nights now.  Hopefully someone loving will get him tomorrow.

You can clearly sees that he hasn't been fed or haven't been eating regularly.  He is skinny.  But he's head is big.  I would love to keep him.  But we have 9 dogs already.  

He walks well with leash and very passive.  

Remembering Brownie: My Sweet Golden Boy

 

There are some pets that never leave your heart, no matter how much time has passed. My dog Brownie was one of those. Despite his name, he wasn’t brown at all—he was a beautiful mix of gold and white, with the sweetest soul you could imagine. A loyal pitbull with a gentle heart, he brought light and joy into my life every single day.

Brownie had a way of making everything feel okay. His tail wags, goofy expressions, and quiet companionship got me through tough days. He was more than a pet—he was family. Then one day, he didn’t come home. We searched and hoped, only to find him in my neighbor’s backyard… gone. That moment shattered my heart. No warning, no goodbye. Just a deep, sudden loss.

Even though it’s been years since Brownie passed, I still think of him often. I miss him. I miss his warmth, his loyalty, and the way he made me feel loved without needing to say a word.

Brownie, wherever you are, I hope you know how much you were—and still are—loved. 💛🐾

—If you've ever loved and lost a furry friend, I feel you. And I’m always open to connect. Feel free to email me if you want to share your story or ask about mine.

Golden boy - fawn pitbull puppy - Solo comes for a visit

Pass by Solo's house today and caught him outside by himself.  So I naturally, got off my bicycle and came toward him. He barked at me at first and was not friendly at all.  But after talking to him he gave up his defense and he finally realized and remember who I was.  I knocked on the door till somebody answered.

My first impression, I was disturbed by the fact that he was outside by himself on the front yard.  But after examining him, he looks good, healthy, no fleas and looks like he is well fed.  So I told Solo's person that if he didn't mind I wanted to pick him up on my way back from the market and take him home for a visit.

It was a good visit.  He had a chance to spend some time with Hershey and Lilbit.  Although Hershey was the main one who gave him attention.  Funny thing, I noticed is that Hershey is way bigger than him.  I thought that was odd, because usually the boys have always been taller and bigger.

After an hour or so his person came by and picked him up.  I don't blame them, he is just too adorable.

Study: High-risk areas for Lyme disease are growing

NEW YORK (AP) - Health officials say the geographic areas where Lyme disease is a bigger danger have grown dramatically.


U.S. cases remain concentrated in the Northeast and upper Midwest. But now more areas in those regions are considered high risk.


A new report shows 260 counties where the risk of catching Lyme disease from tick bites is at least twice the national average, up from 130 a decade earlier.


Lyme disease is most common in wooded suburban and far suburban counties. Scientists aren't sure why high-risk areas are expanding, but it likely has something to do with development and other changes that cause the mice, deer and ticks that carry the bacteria to move.


The article was published online Wednesday in a journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Dog flu in Metro Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. -- New numbers show dog flu is rapidly spreading across the metro-area.

The University Of Georgia's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory confirms more than 80 cases in every corner of the metro. Including a whopping 49 in Fulton County, by far the most in the state.

Out of the 293 cases tested at the lab for canine influenza, 88 have come back positive and five more are suspected.

Dr. Duffy Jones with Peachtree Hills Animal Hospital says this is a dog flu unlike anything we've seen in a while.

"This flu is much more contagious. It came from Chicago and it's the same kind of epidemic that they dealt with up there," said Jones.

The dog flu killed animals in Chicago. Thankfully, that hasn't happened here.

But dog owners should still be on high-alert because the disease can spread so quickly.

"Because this is so contagious, the hardest things is anytime there are a lot of dogs together, your chance of having this and spreading this goes up," Jones said.

Which is why Henry County took the proactive steps to close down the two county dogs parks earlier this week. Other counties and cities are taking steps to warn dog owners of the risk of flu.

Just like you would keep your child away from other sick kids, Dr. Jones says the same advice works for dogs.

"What you want to look for is coughing and sneezing," Jones said. "These dogs look like you or I do when we have the flu. They look sick. If you see that we want to get them treated right away."

My Gentle all Black Pitbull

Bullet is his name and his all over black except for that chest.  He is such a good dog but don't bully him, he bites back.  He knows to be gentle around the puppies and although he goes crazy behind the fence in gate, when he gets out, I have no fear of him messing with people.
