Thanks everyone about the pictures, and your advice. I've actually been trying to get Melissa to find the dogs new homes for years now. I just want to sneak and take them, lol. I love the pups, but I know they are not happy. We've thought about driving them down to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. I will never let her take them to a kill shelter (and I know she wouldn't do that either). I'm just wondering if there is any rescue groups close to me, Kanab really is *not* close at all.....it's clear on the other end of the state. I don't think they are untrainable or anything, its just that...they have always had a male figure that told them what to do, and they just don't listen to us. I don't think Trusty is well either, he's quite skinny, and I don't think he can hear too well.

Thanks about the info on Reggie's problem. I hope it is that inverted sneezing. It would be weird that he would suddenly get allergies though........because we go camping *all* the time. The second time we did it we were sleeping outside on the deck, but we've done that many times too.
