Thank you all!
About the rug and Dede, haha totally true, we have to be so careful when we walk to the couch and she is sleeping at the rug in front of the couch.. I'm so scared I am walking over her tail or her leg.. Untill now, it didn't happen yet.
curlytails, you ar welcome, twice a day you will get a bite of fresh meat and in between (a bit too much) snacks and bellyrubs :)
Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! Yes Rescuing is the best option. Sure it is a no kill shelter but it makes room for new dogs to be rescued and it puts her in a wonderful home! She is SLOWLY coming along. She likes to try to come up in my lap now. Shes a wonderful lil dog and Anubis LOVES having someone his size around. She "Smiles" she will get excited and show all of her teeth and wag her tail…I try to get pics but she always gets scared of the camera.
