I am sorry to hear about Melissa's problems with her father's dogs. I do not think she needs to be guilty about having her own dog. But most importantly, she needs to train Lady and work with her so that she doesn't end up like her dad's dogs.

I think it is never too late to train a dog. Has she thought about rehoming them. Or perhaps find someone that the dogs will "cooperate" with for training. Trust me, I now how hard it is to control big dogs. Even the tinest of dogs can be stronger that us. If I didn't have Draker when he was a puppy and slowly built up my strength to handle him, he would be just as wild!

It is not the dogs' fault or Melissa's that they are out of control. He father is to blame. Shame on him!

On a lighter note, I enjoyed those pictures. Lady is going to grow up to be a big doggy! And boy is McKinny a cutie!
