For anyone that cares, here's a small update.
I realize this shouldn't be an excuse but I have been really busy. Puppies, the foster I had, the dogs, my boyfriend, my job and my parents as well, it all rebounded on me in the last few weeks. I'll explain a bit of what happened.
The puppies all went home, no problem, all are in perfect health and I have weeks of pictures to share with all of you! The foster I had, (The dutchie) well the shelter decided to euthanize him. He was fitting in so well and one day we came home and there was blood all in the steps, our foster had been fighting with Garlo, another shepherd of mine. I just couldn't take the pain of not knowing what could happen while I was gone, so we crated him, and he managed to bite another one of the dogs THROUGH THE CAGE. That was too much, I didn't have time to train him one-by-one, so I sent him to my friend (who's a behaviourist) and he told me that his aggression wasn't stoppable, nor really controlled, it was triggered by anything at any moment, it was more psychological and frustration to the dog. I called the shelter and since we hadn't planned to adopt him, they decided that he was dangerous and that he needed to be euthanized. I'm sure it was for the best, even if I feel responsible for it, he really was dangerous, it was genetics and bad breeding, he could of bit me or my family, he had almost killed my other dog by biting him everywhere possible, I didn't want to go through that again. Worst part is, Garlo isn't aggressive at all, we've had aggressive dogs in training trying to nip/bite him, and never did he return the favour, I'm sure that's why he was punctured that much, he let it happen :/
My boyfriend got bitten by a beauceron x German shepherd mix at the shelter we work at, the dog was aggressive and the shelter decided that dog would be euthanized, so hubby had to move him to the backroom. My boyfriend has a bit of a big ego and didn't think that dog would bite him, he told staff he had full control over the dog, and when he took the dog out of the cage, he didn't remember to be careful around the dog, and his face was too close to the dog's face, and the accident happened. My boyfriend is fine, I'm still a bit mad at him for thinking he had full control, but I'm just glad he's okay.
My job is doing great, but we just have so many dogs in at once it's crazy! The brightside of things is that I have a lot of pictures.
My parents decided to divorce, so me and my two brothers are pretty much in shock. I really don't take it too well, but I know it's their decision. Apparently my father was cheating on my mother, and my mother was cheating on him, how's that for a story? >__>
How have you been?
