Thanks, me too. I have now become a 24 /7 carer for my mother in law with dementia, which will take tons of time away from Pippy, also mother in law has an older dog whom seems to have no problem turning on Pippy, pluss Pippy has now began turning on our oldest dog a border collie who to say the least is getting very tired of the face and leg biting Pippy does to try and control her. I am very worried that one day enough will be enough and the border collie will turn on Pippy, which would be David vs. Goliath in this case. Pippy doesnt ask questions first when it comes to new faces, she is 100% ready to deffend from the start, which then makes our other dogs bounce off her actions and its mayhem.As I said we have worked with her to the limits of our own personal abilities, and simply aren't able to give her what I know she honestly needs ....she needs to be someones only baby, she needs to feel she is the world to someone, and be the lil madam in her own domain.She doesn't settle as she is always in competition with the other dogs and the other people around, which is why she is in a constant state of "needy". I am quite seccure in the fact if she found a home where it were just her and her owner, this would soon settle to contentment as she had reached her goal of being the 100% attention grabber.We do spend as much time with her as we can, we do include her in as much as we can....its just what we have to offer her, how our family dinamics are ect..its just not enough and not the right set up for her, esspecially considering her extreme abuse in the past.She needs an Angel on earth I believe.
