Abused/neglected dog question

[sirrahved]

For full story, please click here.
Angel will not let Muffin play with us. It's alright if she snuggles, but will not let her get her toys or wrestle us. Is this something that is likely to never go away, or will it just take lots of work with Angel on our part? I guess this is my main question. Muffin LOVES to play and wrestle, and I couldn't in good conscience bring another animal into our home permanently that would take this away from her.

Thank you in advance for any help.

sirrahved,

What does Angel do when Muffin starts to play with you? Does she act aggresively, or is it a matter of Angel taking toys away from Muffin?
It could be that Angel and Muffin are trying to figure out who's dominant. Unless Angel is attacking Muffin over toys/attention, then probably it will be resolved with time. Maybe for now you should play with each dog seperately, and reserve some time for Muffin to play by herself by restricting Angel to another room.
Good luck!
