And we don't have to worry that the rescue will decide that we aren't good enough for their dog and come take her away for some perceived infraction of the rules. It did take some patience and lots of love to get her trained to potty outside, and she does have separation anxiety, but we love her to pieces. And now after a year and a half she knows that she will stay with us forever. :o
I will be looking for another dog in the near future. I figure he will find me. :-) My little guy is getting older and we had a issue with him this week and I think having another will make it easier for me when its his time. |
