Holly, the Dog of the Day
Name: Holly
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier
Home: Alabama, USA
 
   This has got to be the most lucky dog we have ever met. We got her from the flea market one day, even though we hadn't considered getting a pet anyway, but oh well. It turns out, she had an autoimmune disorder, and would have flare-ups with seizures, in which we rushed her to the vet, and it ended in costing us a very large amount of money in the end.

    This happened several times, and just before she was on death's door, and my mother was about to just have her put down, my dad stepped in and told then not to, and in the end, she was perfectly fine after a treatment of $5 dollar steroids.

    She's eaten jeans, collars (all but the plastic/metal part), side paneling from our laundry room, insulation from our laundry room, bushes, bubbles, ice, and many other things. We try to give her good things to chew on, as we do not want her getting sick!

    She's scared of the dark, where, if you leave her in a room, no lights are on, the TV's off (we let her sleep inside), so that it's pitch black, she will not stay in there. She's also strangely scared of blimps. Yes. BLIMPS. We've had them fly over our house before, and she was running around, trying to hide under our shed, and was running hiding behind my dad.

    And she's also scared of baths. When she hears the words, she runs to the back door. Lately she's been worried whenever my mom comes around and she goes straight for the back door, just in case. But we love her just the way she is, quirks and all.
