Jeff denlon!

Jeff was very fun to convert to animal; for him I chose the humble staffy. I wanted him to be a bully breed to reflect his anger, but I also wanted to reflect his softness, and I feel a staffy is perfect for that. Jeff is a grieving father, while he may fantasise about avenging him, deep down he’s a good man wracked with the pain of loss.

I know everyone makes fun of Jeff for how slow he is, but his traps are a real mental battle for him. Aside from the gore, the trap for Jeff himself is violently psychological, which I prefer over the gore tbh. You all know how I feel about grief themes.

And the fact he learns absolutely nothing by the end of his gauntlet, finally fulfilling his fantasy of vengeance on Amanda and John, is the perfect compliment to Amanda’s monologue before she shoots lynn, because he proves her right; he doesn’t change.

Also another awesome fact about Jeff, he’s played by a Scottish actor! I find that cool since I’m a scot too :3

pretty sure op turned off reblogs literally as i was researching & typing this so, making my own post:

some facts about pit bulls / similar bully breeds!

pit bulls account for about 1/3 of studied dog bites

they are also very common dogs and much more likely to be abused and neglected than other dog breeds

84% of violent incidents involve a dog that was abused or neglected

94% of violent incidents involve a dog that was an intact male, which experience significantly more aggression than neutered males

the breed standard temperament is confident, excited, eager to please, and extremely friendly toward humans, and the only ''typical'' aggression is against other dogs (which can be avoided with proper socialization). it is not normal for pit bulls to be aggressive toward humans

they are much less likely to be adopted, spending an average of 3x as long in shelters as other dog breeds, and are much more likely to be euthanized than other dog breeds. they are considered undesirable due to public stigma

(sources: 1, 2, 3, 4)

in this house we love bully breeds and hate stigma <3

July 2024 I have a lot of backlog. Photography was hard to engage with last year, and dog photography felt especially difficult.

First personal post in a really long time, but I need help. :/ If anyone can spare time to share my gofundme or donate, even the smallest amount helps.

My pup Night was in critical status yesterday and needed emergency care to save his life. He isn't out of the woods yet, but the total vet bills racked up so far is at about $9500. I've done what I can with my own bank account and depleted my savings. What makes matters worse is that I'm 6 months pregnant and expecting my baby in June.

Night is and has been my child first and foremost, so getting him care was never in question- but this puts me in a huge financial bind and I'm so afraid and scared of what's to come, especially since he is going to need additional medications for the rest of his life. Please see the full story with all the details in the go fund me.

I know times are hard, so thank you if you even took the time to read this, even if you can't help, I appreciate you.

I’m really curious what experienced people on dogblr think of this video. This video shows the neighbors rescue bully-mix getting away from their owner. I think they had just come home in their car with their two dogs. It’s slippery outside and the dog gets away from them. Accidents happen and the owner was enthusiastic in retrieving their loose dog which is always appreciated. The thing that has me a little confused is the dogs behavior and how determined they are to get into my yard.

For context, Mandana has some excitement reactivity with dogs. It’s something we prioritize especially since moving into a house with dogs on three sides of our yard. She’s gotten so much better. They bark at her through the fence while we practice ignoring them. She’s made so much progress that most of the neighbor dogs are recovering faster from their barking because she’s not reacting to them.

So here’s the thing. The bully-mix is the main barker and when we first moved in they got into a spat through the wooden fence but besides that their barking has always sounded like typical barrier barking and sniffing (as opposed to our other neighbors whose Mastiff and Bully-mix actively try to attack her) so I was a little surprised to see how determined this dog was to get into our yard while we weren’t even outside. I would expect to see this intensity if Mandana was outside but even without any dogs in the yard (and a short chainlink fence that’s easy to see through) the bully-mix was seeking a way in and checked both sides of our house to try to get in. (Also, they moved into the house around the same time we did so their dog doesn’t have a history of fighting with previous dogs on our property)

I’m from the country and I’ve only personally seen this kind of behavior in dogs who are 1) actively trying to get in a pen to kill livestock or 2) dogs crossing property lines to attack dogs on their own property. I have also seen excitement and pulling towards dogs who are playing in a communal dog yard and barrier aggression related to that.

I don’t want to jump to the obvious conclusion so I’m asking Dogblr: Was this a case of a curious dog trying to see what the neighbor dogs are doing or was this a dog on a mission to attack? I go through life expecting loose dogs to charge us at any give time but there is a big difference in catching a loose dog who’s coming to see what’s up and stopping an aggressive “out-to-kill” dog attack.
