I agree that things are going to take quite a bit of time. All of the dogs my parents have were rescued and they all had their individual timelines as to when they would trust their new humans. It sure hurts to see her panic so badly though.
I have never seen any animal panic so severely when left alone even if I am only gone long enough to get something out of the other room. I would let her run around a little more if she was house broken and not so destructive…. but for now I have to keep her under constant supervision. Our Maltese, Macy, needs a friend and so I really hope this little Yorkie girl warms up to her. I am hoping that the little girl's snips at Macy turn into sniffs and then into friendly play. She only snips at Macy when Macy comes up while she is getting attention. She may not know it yet, but I am sure that having another doggy friend would be good for her too. I attached pictures of them both.
Please continue with your suggestions. All input is taken to heart and is appreciated deeply.
P.S. Missy’s Mom, we haven’t settled on a name yet although I have been calling out a ton of different girl names to see if I could happen to hit on the one she already has. No such luck though. Any suggestions?
