Ed and Reub: Reub these days

I have to post about Ruben.

Talking about an aggressive pet is a bit of a taboo.

The truth is that this blog probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the mental imbalance of Reub, who went dangerously unglued about five years ago and made me write about his medication. Prozac.

""My dog ​​on Prozac"Still gets hundreds of hits every month, but now Blogger can't support the number of comments there anymore. If you visit this post, you will find that I am religiously responding to people's concerns and that it has become an odd little forum People who wanted to leave comments there can try leaving them here and as long as this blog exists I will reply.

It's amazing how many cases are worse than Reub's. I am rarely tough with a commentator. Like the time when a person said their dog deserved "a second chance" and would therefore bring him back home before laying him down. No.

When you sign up to an animal, it's forever. Don't pass it on to anyone else. This won't magically fix it, and you're not doing anyone favors. If you have an aggressive dog and are not ready to go out of your way to address the issues, you might as well put it down. Don't leave him in a shelter where you may not realize the problem and he'll turn into someone else's bad situation.

Reub is an old boy now and turning white in the face. His sanity is much better, but with a dog that has bitten someone, he can never be fully trusted again, never.

Never!

Even though there has been no sign of aggression in a long time, except maybe to the UPS man ringing the doorbell, this old man is always treated carefully. Managed and loved to the end.
