@simonsits: Our next steps for Whimsy ❤️🩹 thank you to the people who have been kind, insightful and empathetic. I take full responsibility for what happened and will continue to work with her on this. @Muddy Paws Rescue
Whimsy did something bad but she’s not a bad dog. She’s going to be ok. Better to know now so it can be fixed

Animal Behaviorist here. This is far more common than you think and can be so traumatic. My heart goes out to you and Whimsy. Trigger stacking is a very real thing and can cause reactions like this. You are doing great and I know Muddy Paws and you will help her in the best way possible ❤

As she gains her weight, her personality and energy will change and morph. That’s to be expected. You just gotta roll with the punches and learn her new behaviors. Fostering is never dull! Lol! You got this and so does Whimsy!

Whimsy had a bad day. We all have one. We still love her. She’s teaching all of us lessons and that’s ok

People used to ask my mother if our dog bites, she always answered, "not yet," until a dog is in a situation, especially a dog with a past, you'll never know how they react. Now you know, it is incredibly unfortunate, and traumatic, but now it can be worked with.

People commenting that they would have done something different weren’t in the moment with you. It was a split second and unfortunately it happens. You do so much for these beautiful babies 💕

Whimsy has PTSD. We give humans grace when they are suffering from trauma....We need to give fur babies the same grace, understanding and make the adjustments needed to make their lives joyful.

I'm Whimsy's lawyer now and I would like to say my client is sorry, she was just a little stressed, but she is in fact an angel and deserves the world.

It’s so sad to see the negative comments. Some people have cold cruel hearts

When you have a new dog, you often don’t know their threshold until it gets crossed. You can’t be a mind reader. You’ve handled this well. The vest is a great idea.

Whimsy just sitting there looking up at you with her little spine showing. Her little ears back, wanting your love. She had a moment and she is with the best person for her because anyone who knows you, KNOWS you love these animals. She will come out better than ever. I have no doubts

Thank you for your transparency. Fostering isn't always sunshine and roses. I know you will get Whimsy the best training available, but please also allow yourself the grace to know you did the best you could with the experience you had. Sending hugs ❤

I mean to be fare. I also bite when I’m over stimulated so I understand Whimsy’s reaction.

Five years ago today my first foster dog did this to my bedroom while I was getting a Covid test. 😳😬 He’s now a search and rescue dog and thriving. 🥰
