Tuesday: I'm also amazed by how much abuse some animals will take at the hands of a human. The people who's dog I watched (?) also hit him all the time. This dog could literally fit my entire forearm in his mouth, yet he lets them beat on him. My present shelter-dog doesn't even take being yelled at, she comes right at me, without a second thought. I guess she had too, too many of those beatings at somebody's hands But I still love her, just like one of my kids, she's got her own quirks
