Joyful Calvin

#LifeIsShort! #BeJoyful! I'm Calvin, an 13+ year old #pitbull who had a ruff start in life but never gave up on being #joyful... and now I'm #livingmybestlife!

Lost the entirety of my ears to a bad man w/scissors. Others didn't want me cuz they thought I was scarred & not a "normal" dog. Mom saw me & thought I was perfect. 💕 #LifesShort #BeJoyful #pitbull #thejoyfulpit #pitbulls #pitbullsoftwitter #DogsofTwittter #TwitterDogPark

Thank you for taking this journey with us. We appreciate the friendships & kind thoughts shared. We are grateful Calvin was able to bring together such an amazing group of people & I hope with all of my heart that your days are always filled with joy. 💕
Calvin's mom, Staci

As I mourn his loss, I cherish the life I had w/him. Knowing joy & sorrow must coexist, I welcome them both. B/C of him, there's more room in my 🩷 for all good things & I will do all I can to make each day the best - day - ever. As Calvin would say, "Life's short. Be joyful."

@mortgageconsult @TuckerDude1 @syd_akaYog 12-1/2... physically speaking. 😉

[Joyful Calvin @thejoyfulpit]

Hoping to get some #PawsIn. My test results: arthritis (as suspected) and a mass in my spleen (not expected). Mom's had a few convos w/my vet over the last 2 days to establish the most compassionate course of action. 🙏 #dogsoftwitter

@be_damed @TuckerDude1 @syd_akaYog I'm so sorry for your loss. 💕

[Joyful Calvin @thejoyfulpit]

@29fanjoan A bad man with scissors. This happened when I was 8 weeks old, and I was rescued almost immediately. Been cared for and loved for over 12 years now. 😊

[Joyful Calvin @thejoyfulpit]

@Ke79500342Peggy Cost is not an issue. Dignity and quality of life is paramount. 💕

[Joyful Calvin @thejoyfulpit]

Thinking about the many blessings in my life. This was my 12th birthday celebration. 😊

@shay_childers @TuckerDude1 @syd_akaYog @parsleysmum A bad man with scissors did that to me when I was a puppy. Luckily, I was rescued almost immediately and have been living a joyful life with my mom for over 12 years. 💕

@TNTiff13 @TuckerDude1 @syd_akaYog @parsleysmum Unfortunately, my age is the issue. I'm 12-1/2. Surgery would be extremely hard on me, whether it's benign or not. 😞

[Joyful Calvin @thejoyfulpit]

@chat4doobs @TuckerDude1 @syd_akaYog @parsleysmum Yes - before mom found me, a bad man did bad things with scissors. I was rescued almost immediately after and have enjoyed over 12 years of love and happiness with my mom. 💕
