Rows and rows of Pitties in cages....

What happened to Millie or Brooke? I would think a 6 year old would be better suited to making friends with Nicki than a 1 - 2 year old bundle of energy like Mia.

Awe... poor girls! You never know what environment she came from, and maybe it was out and out survival for her there, and she just acted on instinct. I hope Nicki is ok. She hasn't been aggressive with any of the kitties, has she??

I hope you will find another friend for Nicki, and if not now since she might be shaken and scared of another new dog, in a little while.

Big hugs to you guys!

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was just about ready to congratulate you. I had read your other thread about Millie and Brooke and was also wondering what happened to them as far as adopting goes. I also think that an older dog would be a better fit for Nicki. I sure hope that Nicki will be okay. Please update us when you can. (((HUGS)))

Let me just clarify, Nicki didn't have a bone. She doesn't chew them much anymore. Mia had the bone and was happily chewing while Nicki was salavating over cat food on the dresser. Mia noticed the cat food, jumped off the bed, knocked the food off the dresser, and all heck broke loose from there.

Mia breaks out of every room we enclose her in. She broke out of the crate I put her in too.

Millie and Brooke still might be options. I wanted to go to the Humane Society yesterday morning just to look, since it was just a few blocks from the cat show I was going to help out at. My daughter wanted to come along. She fell completely in love with Mia and there's the whole story. I wouldn't have come home with any dogs if I went alone.

And no, this experience won't sour me on pitties. I have had several in my classes and know they are true sweethearts. I think she was just from a bad situation. Truthfully, I think she was a breeder in a bad place. She doesn't ever tell us she has to potty, she just goes. On our walks, its just right in the middle of the street. No indication whatsoever. She IS the sweetest dog. If I didn't have cats or Nicki I would have no problem with her. The potty training would simply take time and she'd be 100% perfect.

How is Nicki?

How is Nicki?

Perfectly fine. Not anything wrong. I intervened in good time. If I had been across the room instead of sitting on the floor with her, we'd have spent the night at the emergency vet, I'm sure of it.
