Well it really appears no matter what sound advice we give her, she is just going to do what she wants and that is that, I had that pointed out to me, but was giving her the benefit of the doubt in hoping that something might sink it, it obviously has not, but really I do not blame this girl, the full responsiblity with the bad decision making lies solely IMO with her mother, and as for Roxy having fleas and smelling, well Hello who's fault is that, not the Dogs, as a responsible pet owner it is You who must attend to this dog's needs, I feel sorry for Roxy if she is indeed living with fleas, it is not only a terrible irritant for her but bad for her health.

Personally I am fed up with it all, as we are all beating our heads against a brick wall, and whereas getting a new puppy is exciting and something I would normally love to share with a PTer this one is clouded with sadness IMO, enough said.
