Newbie Pit Owner

Hey all,

I've been reading through the forums and have found so much useful information! Thanks!

Wanted to introduce myself and my girl, Maya. She had a rough start in life. Maya was the runt of her litter, was ignored by both her mama and the humans taking care of the litter. The humans finally brought her to the vet at 7 weeks old and she weighed in at less than a pound.

Needless to say, the vet staff seized this girl and refused to let her go back with the previous humans (notice I don't say owners...what a bunch of a-holes...pardon my French!).

Heard about this sweet girl through a friend and set up a meeting. It was love at first sight!!!

I brought her home at 9 weeks and she is now almost 15 weeks old. As you can see, she is growing like a champ and weighs in at almost 15 pounds. Maya is a sweet heart...it's hard to imagine life without her!!!

Ok, I think I figured out how to add photos...

Here is Ms. Maya the day I brought her home

What a cutie! Sorry, I know I get a little gushy

Here are a couple of photos from the day she arrived at the vet's office...emaciated, malnourished, and neglected. Only 7 weeks old and weighed under a pound. Maya, which means brave warrior, is a fighter though!!!

When i was getting my girl indica, she was the runt of the litter, short tail and kink in tail, all the other pups were long tail, no kinks, and way bigger. But my girlfriend at the time said she's the only black one!!! lets get her!!! shes actually seal. Anyways, She was whiney lil turd and i told her she would be whiney her whole life (she still is a whiner) but shes probably the best pic of the litter. No dog aggression yet, very smart, still small but she seems to be growing still, (shes coming up on 2 years soon). All in all the best choice tho and im happy we picked her!

Enjoy your dog! Mine is a blessing!

Thanks all!!! She is such a great pup...Maya and her big brother, Kasama, get along great too, which is a huge bonus. I was a little worried there may be some jealousy issues with Kasama as he was the only dog in the picture for almost 4 years.

As you can see, they are getting to be buddies!!!


Here's a photo of Kasama...he's my good boy!
