Mugsy congratulations on your newest addition! I had an miniature Eskimo Spitz growing up and her name was Fluffy. I loved her so much. I'd love to see pictures! It may be that she wasn't abused after all, but just merely extremely submissive. My miniature poodle, Ashley, (RB) would flip onto her back if you said to her "Ashley what have you done?" LOL! You could even say that if she hadn't done anything at all and right away, over she'd go! At obedience school they just labeled her very submissive. She could, of course, at times be quite the little stinker too!
