Sad to say,,,(with update)

I really don’t think this is going to work out.   Peanut, the pittie, new to house, and things are an absolute nightmare this mornin’.    yes, she is a pitbull.  Reputation blown all out of proportion in my opinion as some of the best and most loyal dogs I have met are pitties.

Only one other animal is taking it well, and he is doing his best to tell her, “no, we don’t do that!”: Voodoo.   Well, even that one has a rough spot as one of the things he is telling her she can’t do is “EAT”,,,   I have to feed her seperate from him and out of sight of him or things get all growly and rough.

I’m sporting new holes in skin too.   Not that I am mad about them: Kats is sharp on five ends and when the adrenaline gets flowing, the knives come out.  Thats just the nature of kats.   The hole were induced by ‘get me outta here’ moves, not retaliation.    Peanut has one scratch on her nose from getting ‘just a leetle’ too close to Mama, and that lead to me having four holes atop my right foot as Mama headed for the katdoor at speed,,,, not scratches, HOLES: she dug in for traction and that wheel caught good.   As I said, I’m not mad about it, she is just being her species: kat.   But I don’t know how much more abuse this carcass can take.

We don’t nest well when there are newbies in the mix,,,,

I wanna struggle through because I know the kids are alright, ONCE THEY SETTLE DOWN and get to know each other.  but danggit, The whole Grizzy issue has me in a conundrum.   Those of you that have been here for a few years know my emotional spiritual attachment to that reincarnation of Unconditional love.    And today he is the embodiment of HATE AND ANGER.    This, the cat that will usually allow me to carry him into a nest of wild dogs, purring and buzzing ‘you got me, I know you got me’,,,  Not today.   His attitude has 180’ed and even a simple head pat draws a growl (all while looking at the intruder) and the “don’t touch me”,,, while not physical yet, he has exposed the knives as I tried.      His haven of house has been invaded and he is NOT GOOD with that.

And the other side of that is knowing that a short stay is less damaging on the psyche than a long stay and failure.   She knows she is safe around me, (and why she is up my ass at all times) but that up my butt is whats causing the issues.   The other kids want da time too and aren’t capable of tolerance enough to learn tolerance that quickly.  (does that make sense? )

I’m venting. Feeling out my own thoughts as well.   Much easier when I can see them out in the open and not being buried by the other thoughts of my day. (like the doings of the J.O.B.)   

I may take her to work with me today (Definitely if I knew today were a shop day; I don’t know that)  and let the house settle down for a minute, BUT, I wonder if that hiatus would only exasperate the issue upon return.   And as I was saying to Mike in comments, I have the dog door so that Voo can come and go as he pleases,,,  Shuttering that will cause him issues, and keeping her put,,,,   Don’t like chaining dogs, don’t like crating dogs, but I am starting to see some advantages   Gonna say it: I don’t like that thought line,,,, I’m very much freedom oriented, even with, maybe especially with, the fourfeets.   Don’t like cages of anysort, and hate going to zoos for that very reason (and why I liked the SanDiego Zoo: the people were the ones in cages to see the animals.)    Its one thing to incarcerate criminals, but to incarcerate an animal for being itself because thier nature is inconvenient to you at that time,,, seems way wrong to me.      (yes, her nature is inconvenient to me with how tossed and turbulant my house is right now.  Is that her fault?  No, its mine, because I introduced her: why would I punish her, by locking her down, for my doings.)

And I may just let Serendipity take a play too.   Leave for work, if she tries to follow, so be it.  Maybe someone working the RR right now will take a shine to her and she find a different forever home,,,,    I don’t like that gamble so much,,,,   Would rather re-home her through other methods but,,,

pittie,,,,   Evil reputation (wrongfully earned IMO)  

More laters,,,,,

UPDATE: guess it doesn’t matter now.   Peanut headed out straight away, and ended up at the J.O.B. by beating me to the bottom of my hill. ‘A’aight, you’re going back; get in girlie’,,,   I’m off on site right now, but she won’t be returning home with me.   The bosses said they’ll work on something for her ‘re-homing’.
