My sweet Kiki.. *2 pics*

I do agree that. while she is a good girl, and pretty obediant, an "obedience" class might be a good idea to get her "resocialized." Is that something you'd be willing to try?

Ignore your uncle.

Oh Kay, I'm sooo sorry that your little Kiara has been plagued with social anxiety~ She's so Beautifully Playful, and Obedient~

I really hope that you can find a way to help her understand that she is no longer threatened~

(Yes, ignore your Uncle~)

Such a pretty girl. While not the same situation, I can sympathise. After Kia was ill she came home a very different dog. I didn't think I'd ever get her back.

It took awhile (about 2 years), but don't be discouraged! Kiara will heal. It just takes time. *HUGS*

So many people think I should just snap my fingers and be over it. She's home now, I should be happy.

What Kiara and you went through is not easily forgotten. I hope with your continued working with Kiara she will feel more relaxed. It may take a while Kay. {hugs}

I know this must be heartbreaking for you, Kay. I read in another post about your worries with her, and I can definitely understand your concern. I can't think of a better person than you to be with while she "heals", but maybe some outside, socialization, away from your pack, would be a good thing for her. It might reintroduce Kiara to the real world, but in a protected area, such as in an obedience class or agility class. I think Kiara, based on what we have seen, would be a GREAT agility dog, plus it would help her confidence so much.

Good luck, my friend. You, and Kiara, need to feel good again, about life. I'm sure you are going to find a way to get her comfortable.

Kiara is a beautiful little soul; she is an intelligent dog and her sensitivities are likely due to previous experiences over which you had no control. She has the best life with you Kay and if ever there is an opportunity for her to feel most secure, it is with you and her family. I hope that she is able to put some of her scary moments behind her but that could take time. Meanwhile please enjoy the gem that she is.

P.S. Please don't let yourself be upset by others who do not understand the circumstances and cannot appreciate the realities of your situation.

Hugs,
Betty

Oh Kay, I can feel your sadness and pain in your words.

I think the poor sweet dear was traumatized while lost. It must have scared the daylights out of her. She was out of her element and security.

When is your reading with Nancy? She'll answer your questions then ask you if there's anything else you want to know. I hope she can help you, so you'll know what to do.

Please give the precious pumpkins hugs and kisses for me too.

I was thinking agility myself - something to build up her confidence.
