SURVIVING and completely changing my perception of the pitbull breed

Arrival Story:
Tater was an emergency case at the animal shelter having been both abused and neglected. He had an embedded collar, tapeworms, whipworms, and who knows what else.... but he still had heart. He apparently gave the vet techs kisses as they pulled out his embedded collar. I had just rehomed my last foster pup and the house was feeling empty so in he came.... good looks and all!

Bio:
If you are reading this and are my previous owner.... hope I never meet you in a dark alley. Abusing an animal, especially a young'n, is unforgivable. May you be treated equally

Forums Motto:
"you gonna eat that?"

For everyone who reads my diary or was thinking about adopting me. I think I found a new home. I've left the Puggles's home and am with a new family as of Saturday. Keep your paws and tails crossed that it all works out.

 

I'm ready!

So it's been a couple weeks and the respiratory infection has cleared. I've been going shopping at Petsmart, hiking the trails at Umstead and throwing down with the pups at Millbrook and Oakwood dog parks and I'm loving life. I'm still a snuggler and love to be held. Sometimes I get laughed at because in the middle of the dogpark I find some sucker to pick me up, then I curl up and fall asleep in their arms - not quite typical pitbull behavior, but what can I say... I love getting some loving!
Mom says the housebreaking is going well. I can't hold it all day while she's at work and I get freaked-out being in my crate but I know to use the pee-pad when she's gone so I'm allowed to hang out in the house during the day.

 

Please read this, I'm too sick to say it!

So I have a new home, and some awesome puppy brothers, and a couple cool cats to hang with.... but everything's a little overwhelming. I don't know exactly how it all came to be, but I was left tethered with little food and no care for a long time and it hurt and my collar dug into my neck real bad...then a van came with strangers, they took me, told me how pathetic I was and loved and cared for me like no one had before, and then I came to be at this house with what can only be described as love + freedom.... I hope this isn't all a dream.
Anyways, my new (and 1st real) mum took me to get looked at today which was awesome 'cos they petted me and called me handsome. Long story short, apparently I can't go anywhere and meet new friends 'cos I'm a sick puppy. I got a respiratory infection, a couple different types of worms, and I'm stuck on meds for a while. Mom sneaks them into my food like I won't notice..... I do. But I wanna get well and get living a life I've missed for most of my puppyhood so I eat them down like I've been fooled.... yeah right!

Look out! I'll be healthy soon and I got time to make up for..... :)
