Hi everyone

:Welcome 2: Bridgette - welcome and thank you so much for looking into those brown eyes and saying yes and rescuing her. You know that's what your heart was saying so your mouth had nothing to do with it I'm so sorry that you lost Purdy but look what you've given Roxy.
:crying: That poor little girl. I wonder if she was from a puppy mill since you don't think she lived in a house. I'm sure it will take her a while to learn but she'll have the love she never knew.What did a vet say about her? And you know you can get info on anything for her here.
Just be a little careful with her around Bronco since he might not know his strength and she's fragile. I'm no expert by a very long shot but you might not want to leave them alone together when you aren't supervising -- maybe have her fenced off. You'll also need to get her spayed probably sooner than later.
Can't wait to see pictures and so happy you found us.

Thanks for the welcome! I honestly have no idea where she came from. And I'm shocked she made it as long as she did. I live in a fairly heavily populated area with highways, lots of people, not to mention the other stray animals that could have hurt her, oh and right now the heat index is 108*. The vet said she was in relatively good health, she was just very dehydrated, under weight, and in need of lots of TLC. She got all her shots, dewormed, yada yada. I will prob be taking her in for another appointment next week to check on her progress, see when she will be ready to be spayed, and ask about a small lump I found at the base of her neck/shoulder area that I dont remember Purdy having. As for her and the big dogs, Barna is awesome with her. When I got Barna I had Purdy (Maltese), Tweetie (Yorkie), and Buddy (Chihuahua), so she is like yea another little one, big deal lol. Bronco is a good boy with her also, but he had never seen a dog as small as her (shes 5lb, 6oz today :chili: putting on weight!) so he was verrrrrryyyy curious, it was so cute lol. But she was terrified of him when they met. :hiding:After some gentle introductions though, she has become much more confident and comfortable around him. Bronco has always been a very gentle dog, the most laid back pup I've ever met. But like you said, precautions need to be taken for everyones wellbeing. Since Roxys been here I've been home 99% of the time, but I do have a life outside my house. In the next few days I plan to go buy one of those dog gates with the "small pet" door so she can have a space of the house without the big dogs. Of course if I knew I was getting another dog, all of this would have already been taken care of before her arrival lol. She is still having some difficulties with house training. :smilie_tischkante: The dogs have a doggie door so they can go to the backyard whenever they want. She will go through the dog door and go outside, but only if I go out the door and into the backyard with her... :smhelp:I'm not quite sure what the next step is to get her to do this by herself... Anyways, thanks for the welcome everyone and we are so glad to be here!!!:SM Rocks!:
