Foam Glad you're reconsidering. My Lacey is almost 4 and I truly believe at least 1/2 the people who would have taken her from the shelter would have taken her back! Lord knows I've told her she was going back a million times.When we got her my husband and I had to sleep in shifts and I'm not kidding! Chew things up, she still will, steal things, she has to be watched at all times. I did take her to school and we just have to wear her out like a few other posters said. And I mean everyday.Hopefully by the time she's 8 she'll calm down But for all the bad there's so much good in her. And I'm not young and I work and have 3 other pets and fish. And I treasure those few moments I get to relax. Dogs that are properly cared for are a lot of work. Hope things work out for you.
