Sundial - thanks for sharing your experience! The dogs spent a weekend together at the groomers/rescuers house last week. so they knew each other. So far here at home, it's ok. She has gone into Sammy and Lucy's kennels to snag their food - right in front of them. That's dangerous - you are right about setting a dog up for success, not failure. Kennels will now be closed if there is food in them. I don't think her elderly owner took her on walks (although I haven't tried any Spanish words - it's spoken by many here) she doesn't know the word walk, and pulls like crazy on her leash, although she is better already after only 24 hours. Unfortunately, she seems to have patellar subluxation on her right rear leg, she tends to skip and carry it non-weight bearing about 1/3 of her steps on a walk, not indoors though. Still haven't come up with a name for her! thanks, tokie
