You’re a good mom. You’re a kind, loving person who trusts others.
You believe what the dog community tells you. You accept what the rescues say. You listen to the messages, absorb them, and abide by them.
“Pitbulls aren’t human aggressive! They were bred to be gentle to their human handlers!”
“Dog aggression is not human aggression! They are two different things!”
“Pitbulls are nanny dogs! Mine has never hurt anybody!”
“Never leave your kids alone with your dog! Be responsible!”
So Nicole was responsible. She trained, raised, and loved a pitbull because pitbulls are nanny dogs. She always supervised her child around her dog, just like a good mom should.
When her pit fought with other dogs, she wasn’t alarmed. Because the many voices online reassured her that dog aggression isn’t human aggression.
Then, on July 2nd, 2025, her beloved pitbull fulfilled its purpose on earth. Despite being a good mom who was present with her child, the pit grabbed one year old Blakely and fatally mauled her. Nicole was hurt during the attack as she tried with all her might to save her precious baby.
But the pit bull lovers had failed to explain to her that she is physically incapable of stopping a bloodsport dog. And that even if she could, one snatch and thrash would cause severe damage.
The pitbull rescues forgot to tell moms like Nicole that any genetic traits in dogs, whether pointing, retrieving, or mauling, can appear even if the original purpose doesn’t exist. Collies herd lawn mowers. Retrievers retrieve sticks. And that July evening? Nicole’s pitbull mauled her baby.
The pitbull promoters won’t learn and grow from this horrific nightmare. In fact, thousands of them will mock Nicole. They’ll blame her, ask what the baby did to the pit, try to drag her through the mud, even laugh at her dead baby. She has stepped into a never ending nightmare. To the end of her days, she will be in a prison that every mother dreads and few are placed.
But the pitbull pushers? They’ll go to sleep tonight, not thinking for a second about the unspeakable horror that unraveled in this family’s home.
Moms, give yourselves permission to say no. You don’t have to be kind. You don’t have to give chances to dogs. You don’t have to trust random lying strangers on the internet or believe what a multi billion dollar pet industry tells you.
Protect your kids first, always. Because at the end of the day, nobody else will be in that prison with you.
RIP, Blakely. May your brief stay on this planet help to save many other innocent children.
From Blakely’s obituary:
“It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our precious daughter Blakely James Blosser, who left us far too soon on July 2, 2025. Born on May 23, 2024, Blakely brought immeasurable joy, light and love into our lives from the moment she arrived. With her bright eyes, infectious giggle, deep stare, and fearless, courageous spirit, she touched the hearts of everyone who met her.
Her joyful essence shone brightest when she was playing with her brother. Their bond was pure and filled with laughter, offering moments of joy that will forever reverberate in the hearts of our family.
Our little Peach loved pushing her pink wagon, taking tractor rides with daddy, playing Peek-a-Boo and Pat-a-Cake with mommy, and meowing out the window at Panther the cat. She loved her stroller time, playing “monkey on the bed”, and making mommy smell her feet.
Blakely never wanted to miss a moment, so she fought hard to skip her naps and stay awake to party. She took her time learning to eat solid food, but that didn’t stop her from sneaking into Logan’s secret candy stash to grab a Reese egg.
In the midst of our pain, we must remember that God’s love is not absent in our suffering. Psalm 34:18 tells us, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit”. He is not distant in our mourning; He is right there, holding each tear, carrying each ache, and whispering His comfort to our souls.
Though our hearts break under the weight of such a tender loss, we are reminded in Matthew 19:14 that Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Blakely is now held in the arms of the Savior, embraced by a love that is pure, eternal, and without pain or suffering. While we ache for the presence of Blakely here on earth, we hold onto the hope that death is not the end.
Through Jesus Christ, there is life beyond this world—a life where tears are wiped away and all things are made new.
We will hold on to every memory, every picture, and every video forever in our hearts.” 🕯️
Stand together, work together, do all the good that you can, because no child deserves this fate and no parent deserves to be left behind for the rest of a lifetime. 💔
