Thank you guys for being such good help. Well the other dog, well one time she got loose also she became my mini-me her name was pippi, loved her to death, my moms b/f accidently let her out and they wound up getting her, she got loose from them again, i got her again, she got loose again from my house through a hole in our privacy back fence, and of course they had to be outside when she got loose, so they have had her since, thats been about a month or so, so if i ever happen to get her back im gonna chip her, we even called the police on them and they couldnt do anything about it (you know how they are), and yes they know i have my snickers they seen her one time but i dont care what they think they will NEVER GET HER BACK the other one (pippi) they baby her a little more than they did my snickers, but when they are outside and they have her on a least, like when shes trying to go to the bathroom, they jerk her around on that leash like a rope, but thats cops for ya. please continue to give me advice and let me know if you may find out anything that might help her, i want her to walk again so bad and shes trying, it was just last friday she was walking and wagging her tail at me

thank you so much
