Briana I belive you are trying you best and i applaud you. I know if i were in your situation i couldn't take this kind of stuff. I hope later on you maybe will me able to have a yard that is fenced. I am glad tink it doing better to. Butas long as you get that flap for the dog house and take roxy for walks and love her as much as you do with tink then its ok with me!
