@koval Thank you. You've confirmed some of my deepest fears re: growing up with this dog. Even if she doesnt actually ever hurt my child, what other ways will my child suffer because of the dog? What sacrifices are we already making to limit her exposure. Man. This is just the worst.

@cheesecakephan She is a blue.

@cheesecakephan Thank you. I have actually posted on save a Heeler and other alike Facebook sites many, many times since last November. I have received zero interest.

@cloelace Thank you. I really wish I knew more about the breed before we adopted her... or rather, I wish whoever had her first had known more about the breed before they got her as a puppy (and abandoned or didn't look for her after she escaped three years later... ). It was very clear when...

@lmg633 We have tried to find her a home for over a year - in touch with over a dozen rescues, breed-specific rescue pages, and more. but, we have also been honest about her challenges, which means we have had essentially zero interest in her. At this point, it is probably cruel to do so...

@kropke Thank you. I agree. I would only do so to someone who had a full picture of the situation… but what person in their right mind would adopt a dog with a history like this!

@greenvalley Thank you. She definitely has been traumatized… it’s so upsetting.

@toinena Thank you. I am so endlessly grateful that B seems to know that we don't want her near the baby and she gets up to leave anytime baby waddles over to her. I also feel terrible for baby wants to pet the doggie, and we just simply cant let it happen really. Or we are constantly pulling...

@crucinatius Thank you so much for your thoughts. I really have given her everything I could over these last many years, and I do often think about her quality of life being really pretty limited -- and potentially more limited as we have to keep B away from our family, friends and broader...

@birdofprey Thank you. And hugs to you too. These dogs, huh? So easy to love and so hard too.

@imagebeastmarkbeast I will DM shortly.

@thunter1822 I agree that she would likely be better in a rural setting… if I could only find someone who would take her!

@milz777 Thank you. One of the things that has been so hard is to try and find the line between: "oh, this is just a cattle dog thing" versus "yah, no. this isnt normal or okay". Mouthy, nippy, that I get. Its the skin-breaking bites that are starting to make me very worried. Thank you for...

@madmoonsam Thank you. I really appreciate your thoughts. That she can be so scared and aggressive despite the layers of meds is really telling how deep her pain is.

@imumi01 Thank you. I will try to be gentle… I just feel like such a failure even though I feel like I’ve tried everything. It’s really hard.

@koval This here is my worst nightmare. Baby is only 15 months now and it is already a challenge trying to navigate... I cant imagine it getting any better.

@rjozen We do not let anyone around her at this point. Whenever there are guests in house, we keep her crated in our bedroom upstairs.

@bella_lee Thinking of birthday parties, slumber parties or even playdates is one of the things that freaks me out the most. What warped view of dogs will my child have as a result of growing up with such an disturbed animal? Thank you for your thoughts here...

@thomsaem Thank you. I've read your comment many times. It makes me so sad, but I have taken it to heart.

@matt_fif Thanks you so much for the response. When she is super stressed out, I often ask myself: is it my own selfishness that keeps her alive? Is this merely because I don't want to carry the guilt of euthanasia? Would she just be at peace, finally? I am not a religious or even spiritual...
