A previous co-workers neighbor had a female dog that bit people twice (she had a litter of puppies both times this happened). The city said she needed to be outside city limits or she would be destroyed. The owners wanted to find a temporary home for her until they got a place of their own outside city limits. When I told my parents the story they didn't even think twice about taking her. My mom knew right from the beginning that it would not be a temporary thing. Pepsi has been with my parents for 6 years now. My dad still calls her Temporary, but that's just because my dad likes to be difficult/different. He called our previous Min Pin Walter when his name was Kodi.
My mom heard from the previous a few times within the first 6 months. She has not heard from them since. They let her chew on rocks so her teeth are basically little nubs. My mom broke the rock chewing habit within a few months. Pepsi could never live with anyone else. She is so protective of my mom, it's crazy!
