glen, i hear you. i told my brother exactly what you said, above. i think he is at the point of having the dog put down.

i think you are correct, re. your older dog. the difference at our house is that gigi really does love puppies and i think she would be good with one. frankly, she was GREAT with ozzie, friendly and such, right up until it turned into a brawl. after that, she was withdrawn and depressed. she was still depressed this morning, but is perking up, especially after a peanut butter/tetracycline treat.

the problem i have with rescue dogs, and we've had two now, is that they are rescue dogs for a reason. i am sure there are diamonds in the rough out there, but never again for us. i'll start with a blank slate. we've had two really good successes with blank slates.
