Hope shes gets a bit better She looks & sounds like a nice people doggie.

------------------------
another issue is she refuses to leave the yard on a leash so we have to drive to the trailhead!
------------------------

Really? wow. Never heard of a dong not wanting to go for a walk. Is the leash the problem, or is she scared to "walk" of the property away from her home. Maybe shes scared of going back to the pound?
