Yeah, I know. It pains me to think about these things also. All my dogs have had terrible pasts before we got them. They've all come with scars. We also have a cat, which is a runt. He thinks he's a badass, bud the little dude never grows. He's always jumping on Lucy and she's 80 lbs and strong as an ox. But she puts up with it. He knows no fear. So much so that we nicknamed him Chicken Hawk.

Sometimes, he goes a little too far with Lucy, and she will open her mouth, put his entire head in it, and hold it there for a second to let him know she's had enough. It's cute as hell when she does it because she in no way hurts him, but is communicating with him. Then she will let him go and he will strut off.
