WHEN YOU HAVE A JERK FOR A DOG!
Before you feel sorry for him, let me explain. Twang is my Bloodhound by default. I didn't want him when he first came to us, and I still don't But because he is Hannibal Lector on four legs, he will remain with me for his or my lifetime...whoever lives the longest and/or whoever leaves this Earth first.
But this was his vet visit today. With a dose of "twilight sleep" and a muzzle, followed up by a strap down from a scene in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, he was ready for his x-ray, bloodwork, nail trim, wart removal, and even a good brushing.
Now you are probably asking, "Tia, why would you keep this dog around?" Well, the answer is simple. He's always been two French fries short of a Happy Meal. He's simply not wired correctly in that head of his. Then you throw in the severe aggression. He is not safe to put out in the real world.
But here in my private little paradise, that we call "Swampton," it's the perfect place for all of us that are a little bit off and a lot more meaner. He fits in perfectly fine here.
FYI - This is why I missed today's livestream. Things took a tad bit longer than expected

God gave him to you and you know it. Stop complaining about the joy he brings you.
You've been able to save another life
It’s lucky for him that he has someone like you or his life would have been ended long ago.
He would never have been as good as with you!
He’s so fortunate to live with you. Thank you for having a good ♥️
You’re simply amazing and Twang is lucky to be in your care!!!
Tia, you are one tuff cookie! Strong doesn’t even begin to describe who You are!
Thankyou for taking great care of Twang! You are truly an inspiration!
I can relate Tia, i can relate. I have a rescue that’s, if i can be frank. A burden at times. She has food aggression and towards other dogs. Shes bitten me and my Boston terrier. However she was extremely skinny and had burns from cigarettes. So she’s been through it, i do love her. Just wish she was easier. She’s healthy and well taken care of, but she can work a nerve. 🌺🌹❤️🔥
I can so relate, Tia and bless you for your heart and humor! 🙏🏼👍🏼🐾
You are the Guardian Angel of dogs. You ROCK!
You have the heart and patience if an angel.❤️
Oh Twang. You ended up with the best owner you could have. She's got your back.
I completely understand.... I have one of those...My 14 year old Argentino Dogo has to be knocked out completely for any kinda thing. Dry eye and treating it is my newest challenge with my velociraptor ...and not getting bit 🤍😅🤦♀️🤘🏻
Tia this is so ironic...literally last night I re-watched the PB&P episode where y'all went to scent training. You ladies are truly an inspiration, and your insights into each dog right down to its mental health are truly AMAZING 👏 🤩 Seems cliché to say, You GO Girl...but I am filled with so much admiration for all you, your family and VRC Employees have accomplished. God Bless all of you...and some special prayers up for dang ol' Twang 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for sharing I appreciate your sharing good stories, the challenging stories, sometimes funny and not funny stories at the same time and the real stories like this one. You have such an excellent gauge and experience of which animals you can keep with you with challenges in the very few times you're not able to keep them. Your directness compassion and perspective have helped keep him alive. You saw him for who he was and are treating him appropriately. He may not realize it but he's a lucky dog. 🐕
Glad everything is okay and so is one ur "special" dogs. Somehow those type tend to find us lol.
And I thought my dog was bad at the vet lol
