Update.... We kept the dog and named her Stoney after the road I found her on - Stoney Mountain Road. The deal we struck was after my daughters graduated from college and got settled in they would take her to VA Beach because pretty much everything here on the mountain can eat a 6lb Chihuahua in two seconds. My female GSP was surprisingly protective though.

Anyway, we had her here for almost 4 months and followed through on the deal, and I basically cried like a bitch when they took her to VB.
