jovie
This painting is for @anorexic_rhino and her pit bull, Jovie! This is Cassy's story about Jovie: I found this girl on the side of the road in the freezing cold three years ago. Her face and paws were raw from walking and rooting for food and her mouth was infected where she lost her baby teeth and had some sort of dry socket. Locals said that they saw her wondering for "a few days". I scooped her up and took her to a local pit bull rescue. Vets said that she was so bad off (about 15 lbs under weight and only 4-6 months old) and so full full of worms and fleas that she would "cost too much to rescue". I paid close to a grand for her medicine, appointments, and toys. I took a week off of work to stay with her and nurse her back to health. Since it was right around Christmas, my favorite movie Elf was on non stop, so we watched it over and over together. I named her Jovie after Zoe D's character. Four years later, I couldn't imagine my life without her.
