So, just last night, I'm telling my wife "ya know what? Maybe Gracie has turned the corner (to good behavior)." Gracie is 16 months old and her nightime wildness seems to be decreasing a bit. Gracie and I were just hanging out and the phone rings. Two minutes later, I hear my wife yelling "Gracie, nooooooooo!!!" She (Gracie, not my wife ) had chewed a tennis ball sized hole in her doggie bed. So, we had to clip the leash on her....it works wonders. I guess we're not quite out of the woods. Here's Gracie, serving her penance...
That picture says a thousand words! I bet you Gracie is singing the lyrics to GONE in her head!"I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town"
Meet Vedder, my American Bulldog. My fiance and I rescued him about 8 months ago. His original owner had chained him to a tree and left him outside. At some point while he was chained up he injured his tongue and it is now paralyzed and has trouble eating. However, he is in a loving home now and we couldn't be happier!
I swear, I dont even understand a TINY bit WHY people feel the need to treat an animal, specifically a doggie, badd. I mean, whats the point? I dont get emotional about alot of things but, hearing stories of people that have abused doggies? it brings me to tears INSTANTLY. I want to say a HUGE thank you to you for rescuing "Vedder"....if I could I would shake your hand and give you the biggest hug for doing this. You are a good person and I wish you and Vedder lots of great times and long life! THANK YOU!

Thank you. I, too, can't understand how people can treat animals that way. I guess some people just don't have a conscience. It is amazing how dogs that have been through so much because of bad people can seem to instantly warm up to and trust new people.

Wanted to throw a few more pictures up here because I like to show him off, ha! In the first pic you can kind of see the problem with his tongue. It is paralyzed from the tip until about halfway back. Most of the time his tongue is folded back in his mouth, which you can kind of tell by the picture. The second one is just him and I.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

No. Most of the time it is folded back in his mouth. When he eats he picks the food up then tilts his head all the way back so the food can move to his back teeth. Then he continues to chew with his head tilted back. He is just a little messy and it takes him longer to eat/drink, but other than that it doesn't seem to affect him that much. We wipe his mouth after he eats and drinks because he cant like his mouth clean. Also, he doesn't lick people because of it.
The rescue said that they think he may have been attacked by another dog while chained up and that is how he injured his tongue. He does have some scars here and there, but nothing too major, so I don't know.

What cool doggies, and wonderful avatars! I love the avatar of the spotted doggie driving the car. I thought it was a stuffed animal at first, and then a picture of the doggie is just a few posts above mine. Aha! It's real.

That's awesome man. Congratulations on the rescue! You're a good guy for doing it.
Looks an awful lot like my dog (White Boxer). Your guy is an American Bulldog right? Good looking dog...

They do look close. We know he is definitely American Bulldog, but we also think he is mixed with something else. So, maybe boxer.
