Mugsy & others, you have hearts of gold as usual for dogs in trouble. If only Nell were not so far away....we have a wonderful Dog Orphanage nearby (No Kill) run by 2 wonderful ladies who'd take Nell in without worry. I know I'm dreaming, but if only somebody would put her on a passing QANTAS jet so the ladies at F.I.D.O (that's what the Orphanage is called) could find her the home she deserves. But I bet there are people just like them in the States waiting to help her, too. That lovely dog deserves it.
