Plum

Plum's gone.

We had to put her down before she really hurt someone. She was always a bit bitey and edgy and fearfully aggressive, then, about a month ago, she charged the builder and bit him. Traumatic for everyone.

We tried one last time with slightly different methods to train her out of that dark head space, but two days ago we let her go. 

We saw her quirky and amusing and loveable side, so we're tearful. When she was being a goat, climbing everything, or being passively boneless, or patrolling the fenced perimeter, or snuggled on the bed for the morning cup of tea. But, something was amiss in that solid staffy head that would always be dangerously amiss. Now she doesn't have to be anxious and fearful any more. 

This is two weeks after we bought her home, in January 23. 

It took us a couple of weeks to get a wag - she didn't have a good start in life.  But she had a great life here for 16 months and we'll miss that pooch.
