Give your little doll some time to adjust to a new home. Even a child will act up in new places, trying to see just what it can and can not get away with. Temper fits, peeing all over the place, grabbing food and generally misbehaving, all that will be history in a few months. You'll love her a lot 30 days from now. Put down on your calendar, "tell Quilting Board how nice my new fur baby is".

A spray bottle of water controlled my Dobermans when I could not be heard. "I" was pack leader and let them know it as soon as they came in the house. We always took rescues and they were adults with strong bad habits, but with time and love they all became our fur kids. I was just going through old pictures..sure do miss those huge, loving fur babies.
Now the neighbor's reportedly "savage" pit bull has taken to bulldozing herself our of THEIR yard and coming over to see me.
I take pieces of hotdogs and on the way to her home, she has learned to sit and walk on my left side without a leash, and not jump up on me..sure wish they could fence her in through.
