    I just got a puppy from a girl who couldn’t keep it. She’s clearly got some history of abuse but today she was so happy and even confident enough for play fighting gently!

    Edit: since the top comment mentions pitbulls, it’s probably worth noting that my puppy is also a pitbull and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body! She gets scared easily but is never aggressive about it! She’s also supernaturally well behaved. I’ve never seen a dog before her who took so well to a leash and my mom’s a heckin dog breeder! She got off the leash today because I scared her when we were jumping around in the back yard and just immediately ran to the door of the house. Scared the heck out of me only to immediately be relieved that what she does is just automatically best case scenario! There’s no way I have any chance of outrunning her. She seems to be trying to be social with the cat, but cat is having absolutely none of it. She loves animal crackers but won’t mess with her bone that’s stuffed with some kind of mush. She also has an extra toe! It’s super weird but seems mostly healthy and we’re gonna ask a vet about it.

    Yo, I can talk about her for several more paragraphs. Just give the word.
