LOL Joan!!! I didn't have too do that.. I called my ex last night, and told him I have to keep Vida in quarantine for at least 2 weeks, and by then I would already be too attached.. I said I already am attached too her now!!. He sounded a bit disappointed, but understood. I told him I would help find him the right one.. Then the boyfriend comes home, and I was telling him how much Vida and Dani were playing together tonight, which was true, she hasn't played at all until last night. He says boy its gonna be hard to let her go? I looked at him and said I can't do it... He said with a smile "I just knew it"!! So Vida is staying with ME!!! Here are a couple picks I took last night. Today is 2 weeks ago that I picked her up. She is a wiggle worm so the pic's are blurry, but you can see her changes, and the weight gain.. Beth

Just kidding. Do you think that your ex really wants her? Or was he just saying that so that you wouldn’t have another one to take care of. Your boyfriend…I think he can see how much you love her!

Not too much else has bothered her. If I have to scold Dani for being too ruff with the other girls, or for taking something that isn't hers, I do notice Vida cowers some. She has been through allot, but not anymore!! Now how do I tell my ex husband that was interested in her, I don't think I can give her up. LOL. & to tell my boyfriend, I don't want to adopt her out...? Help..

About Vida's reaction to your garden hose. And you're so sweet to reassure her that she'll not be mistreated ever again. It is just beyond me how anyone can mistreat precious animals that bring so much joy, laughter and love into our lives. That is so true, it can be very expensive to save just one, as you said, the big vet bills to get them to a healthy state. It must bring you great joy though, that you rescued one, one less frightened to bits of the unknown, or worse, put to death. It does me and I don't even really know you, but sure do love your heart.

If I had a bank account as big as my heart I would do it in a moments notice! It so sad that they come out so sick. I think people would do more rescues if the dogs weren't so sick!! Knowing they are going too put out a bunch of money, and go through allot of worry and heart ache, and even death of there new pup. I learned something about little Vida yesterday. I went out to water some new plants I had planted over the weekend. When I unreeled the hose she took off like lightning! & it hit me why she did this. When I was at the shelter that day they were spraying the kennels down with a hose. I am sure they sprayed the dogs too.. I went in and told her it was okay, she would never be sprayed again.. I am not sure she understood, but I will know in the future that its something she is afraid of. Beth
