I got Borged! Honest- she wasn't what I was looking for! Had her about 15 months now- couldn't ask for a better dog. She came out of a village where she had spent the first 18 months of her life on the end of a chain. She knew her name, come, and no. That's it. Her only interaction or stimulation appears to have been abuse in the form of bb guns, firecrackers, and objects thrown at her. Not even housebroken when we got her. She's come a long ways! At first I thought she wasn't too bright, but that was just ignorance. Hers and mine. She is sharp!! Sweetest, most loving (yes, still fairly needy, but getting there) doggie one could ask for. Scolding just destroys her until "forgiven". So we bought her a dog of her own. Looks like you got a winner there, Tim! A couple of them in fact.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Just an update, things didn't work out the way I wanted. I wound up working out of town a lot and Abby started to get aggressive toward my wife. After 7 weeks we didn't feel like we had any other choice but to surrender her back to the rescue(she was adopted again by a family with other dogs and evidently she does much better with other dogs around. We decided to really take our time before we tried again, luckily, we found a shelter not too horribly far from us that was really willing to work with us to find a dog that would fit our family better. They really went above and beyond and next Tuesday, Titus will be coming to live with us. We visited him a couple times, then they brought him over to the house for a couple hour visit last weekend that went great. The boys are so excited this time(last time was a totally different story with them) they are arguing over whose room he gets to sleep in. Can't say enough good about the shelter we are working with, they have been very forthcoming about what we can expect. He has had a rough go of it(he was all but starved to death when he was found last July) and will take some patience, but he seems to have really taken a shine to the kids and hasn't shown any aggression in his foster house(unless you're a squirrel). Great to find a place that goes the extra mile to make sure the right dog gets the right home, VERY different than the rescue we called last spring(I think they mean well, but they need to be a little more objective and less sunshine and roses). We will be fostering him for a month or two before we adopt...

Sorry about Abby but grateful about Titus.
Good on you for taking a second chance and giving a second chance.

I think you'll have better luck with a hound mix instead of a pit cross with issues.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

My rescue dog rescued me after my wife passed away. "Honey" was a big part of the healing process

He's got a LOT of hound in him - thus, he's highly unlikely to show any aggression towards his people. Good looking dog.
