I can't imagine the stress all 3 of them have to be under living in that kind of situation. Imagine what it would be like to feel threatened, but be muzzled and tethered so you can't 'defend' yourself...that would just make a dog even more anxious and likely to act out any chance it gets. Poor baby. |
I think I have to agree with this wisdom. It is just too much to have them all living life on the edge. They deserve some peace in their own home, even your aggressive girl. I'm going to "assume" you have had her spayed and that did nothing to help. She may have a pain problem. The only time I knew of a dog like that he was a parvo survivor and we thought he might be having shooting pains from some neurological damage that would make him lash out at whoever or whatever might be nearby.
After 8 1/2 years, I doubt I can come up with anything you have not tried. So, I will just wish you all well. I admire your tenacity at hanging in there with your girl all these years, knowing that there aren't many that would. You might be surprised though. If you are unwilling to rehome your males, you might contact a rescue and see if they do have any potential homes for a special needs dog like yours.
As for this site.....I would look at your computer. I have never had a problem signing in to this site, even from AOL. I have it bookmarked and I just go to it easily whenever I need to. I have had problems writing extremely long posts and losing them before I get them posted. Some would probably suggest I not write such long posts as I have a bad habit of doing that.
But I think the problem is still more my computer than the site. I keep getting bumped out of all sites that require a password. It is something on my computer doing it. There are tens of thousands of people using this site and only a handful have problems. That tells me that it is usually our own computers instead of the site causing the problem.
