One of my awesome friends on here suggested to mama that we do a Q&A for any questions you may have. So mama and I hung out on the porch this morning thinking about some of the main ones we get asked. Here are the ones we came up with. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment so mama and I can help answer them. I love you all!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? I was forced to be a bait dog in a dog fighting ring in East Texas.

HOW OLD AM I? I am estimated to be about 4 years old now. 🐕

HOW DID I GET SAVED? Law enforcement seized me and almost 60 other dogs after learning of the dog fighting ring. I was in bad shape, so I didn't have to go to the pound. I went to the doggy hospital in the care of my awesome friends Dr. Gary Spence and Nicholas Pet Haven. 💕

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER DOGS? The county euthanized almost all of my other doggy friends. The only ones that lived were the 6 of us who needed to be in the doggy hospital and one sweet dog named Dottie, who my mama and one of her friends named Van got out of the pound to foster for another awesome rescue named Kind Spirit. Dottie now has a forever family in Colorado and is doing great. Mama and I think about the ones who lost their life very often because they deserved a chance like I did. 😘

HOW LONG HAS MAMA HAD ME? Almost a year already! 🕜

DO I HAVE SIBLINGS? I have two Doggy siblings that were also rescued and came from my friends at Nicholas Pet Haven. My brother is Happy, a silly bull terrier. My sister is Pearl, a bossy chick whose DNA test came back inconclusive. So we don't really know what she is. 😂 Mama only had one human child but he passed away as a baby in 2014. His name was Jackson Owen. ❤️

HAVE I EVER SHOWN ANY AGGRESSION? Not at all. My mama has only seen me growl one time and it was because she accidentally made me uncomfortable while cleaning my eye. But I am protective of my family and will bark if I sense danger. 💯

DO I HAVE HEALTH ISSUES? I do have some chronic pain where I will sometimes limp and generally not feel well, but it is pretty well controlled with over the counter joint supplements. Also, I do choke easily, have allergies because of my nose, and my right eye doesn't work so I get what mama calls my 'eye nasties' in it. She cleans it out a couple of times a day. It's not my favorite thing. 😡

CAN I SMELL? Yes! My nose works just fine even though the exterior is missing. I do have some allergy related issues sometimes because there's nothing to protect things from getting in there. And when I sneeze, it always scares mama because it isn't a normal sneeze. ❤️

WHAT AM I AFRAID OF? Alot of things...but I am getting better every day. Any loud noises (washer, dryer, vacuum, frying pans, dishwasher, the TV, loud music, the massage gun, my Mama's cell phone ring, some sudden movements, etc). But I recently conquered spoons and fans! 💪

WHAT DO I EAT? Whatever I want. I am a spoiled little boy. 🥰 I eat my dog food and then mama shares her food with us. 😋

AM I POTTY TRAINED? I can't lie....I still have some accidents. But I am doing really well for the most part. 👍

DO I PLAY? Yes! I love toys and I have a few favorite stuffed animals, along with a few favorite long term bones. I also love eating short term bones but mama has to be careful because I choke easily. 💕

DID THE PEOPLE GET PUNISHED? Yes, but not adequately. The dog fighting ring was operated by two brothers, Michael and Kerry Jones. One brother had the animal related charges dropped for lack of evidence and got sentenced to 11 months for drug related offenses. The other one had the dog fighting ring charges dropped but he pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and got sentenced to 10 years in prison. He is getting paroled after serving less than two. 😡

WHY DID MAMA START THIS PAGE? She got really upset that my abuser was getting paroled already and set out to change animal cruelty laws in Texas. She is what people call 'small but mighty.' However, within a few days, she realized that we have so many friends who just want to love and support me, too. So she says this has ended up being one of the biggest blessings. 😘

WHO DO I LOVE THE MOST? The world. I just love everyone. I really do. But I am extra thankful for every human involved in saving my life and helping me thrive. And I get shocked when mama tells me I have new friends all over the world. ❤️

WASN'T IT EASIER JUST TO EUTHANIZE ME? I won't even justify that with a response, other than to say that if you actually think that, mama and I don't want you on our page. I am a happy boy with so much life left in me. 😡

AM I GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD? Mama says I already am. 🌎

Mama and I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions for us. We hope you have the best Monday! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Love, Marcus!!

Help

She always sits with her back to the room, listening for footsteps that might stop beside her.
Sometimes she turns around quickly, hoping someone has finally come for her. But the room is still quiet.
So she lowers her head and waits again.
Her little sweater keeps her warm, but what she truly misses is the warmth of belonging.
She doesn’t need a perfect home.
She only needs someone to choose her, hold her close, and whisper, “You don’t have to wait anymore.”
Until then, she keeps hoping tomorrow will be different. 🐾💕

My acquaintance with conspiracy theories began shortly after 9/11. They made no sense to me because I knew the facts and had met people who were actually at the scene.

I was in New Jersey at the time and was in constant contact with a close friend who was receiving updates from the U.S. military.

On September 10, I stood atop the Empire State Building and watched the final sunset over the Twin Towers. Strangely, I remember asking my hosts whether those buildings were designed to collapse upon impact or topple sideways if struck by an aircraft.

The following morning, I watched the events unfold live as the second plane - United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767 - struck the South Tower.

I know police officers who saw the wreckage recovered across Lower Manhattan, including a large section of landing gear, an engine, pieces of the fuselage, and other aircraft fragments. I also met flight attendants who lost many friends - and, in some cases, family members - who were aboard those planes.

Yet, to my shock and disbelief, I encountered respectable people, including pastors, who unashamedly claimed that no planes had ever struck the towers.

And what about Israel?

Although all 19 terrorists were identified as Muslims from Middle Eastern countries - 15 of them from Saudi Arabia - and despite Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, acknowledging and celebrating the success of the operation, people still pointed their fingers at Israel and claimed that 9/11 was a Mossad operation.

Therefore, the conspiracy theories surrounding October 7 - the claims that Israel initiated or orchestrated the attack - did not surprise me. I had already seen how this works in the aftermath of 9/11.

Conspiracy theorists do not allow facts to confuse them. They allow dark spirits to rule them.

“And they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”
2 Timothy 4:4 (NKJV)

Do you think pets should be allowed to visit their owners in the hospital?
