It leaves you to wonder more when the pup is not like he was described. And the cowering only happens when someone raises their voice, has a mean tone of voice, or approaches him. He hasn't had an accident in a long time, but he use to run and hide when he did. I was told he loved other dogs, yet he never bonded with Gypsie (roomie's chi mix), he was curious of Danger (other roomie's pom), and only really liked Samus (neighbor's doxie mix rescue) but he still acted scared of her. I was told he wasn't a barker but would chime in if other dog's bark. Danger loved to bark, and Kaji never joined in. Kaji would make the strangest noises though. If I went downstairs for a quick shower, he sounded like a debarked dog. (as close as he could get) later I found out he wasn't, but it was strange. I tried taking them on pack walks, but that didn't help. He eventually fell for Uni, but he wouldn't play with her. It was like he didn't know how. Uni would happily fetch her ball, and Kaji would run after her. He really didn't get the concept of the game until much, much later. I could go on and on about the things I was told about Kaji, and how he's so different from the description. I don't know if the move was too much for him, and it brought out the worst in Kaji. Or that maybe something else went on. I'll never know for sure and I'll always wonder about that.

I agree. I think that is a lot of it! We will not ever know. And yes, we have been told different things that we are now finding out isn't true. What makes me really wonder is the fact that Mikki was in pretty rough shape when I picked her up. And the former owner told my husband that the man of the house hated Mikki. If you raise your hand up she is so scared it isn't funny. Maybe it is submission but I really tend to think she just didn't have a good life. We are working hard to change all that. On a positive note, since we have been grooming and using good products on Mikki, her coat is really looking better. Her hair is still patchy around her face. But her body is really showing the silver that is under the black. It just looks so much better than it did. And her new daddy LOVES her to pieces. And her mommy too. But DH is really crazy about her. This pup was scared of men but has taken quite the liking to DH. It is quite a sweet site.

Owned by Bella & Tibbs Donating Member | My mom has a Shih Tzu that we rescued from a guy that had him outside with boxers that he bread... He was in such bad shape when we got him ate up with fleas and mites had not been groomed or brushed or bathed he had a really bad skin infection also... Mom said the guy told her he would hit and choke him to make him smell every time he has a accident in the floor... so the first few weeks every time he pooped in the floor he would cry and rub his face in it....He is almost 2 years old not and the kindest and gentlest dog you could ever meet we have outside trained him and he does good. However last week I took Tibbs and Bella up to play and Bella pooped in moms floor and he done the same thing... I really do think he was having a flash back So I picked him up and assured him it was ok and then give him a bath poor thing shook forever.... The first pict is of fluff now the last one is when we first got him IDK if you can see but the bald places and red on his face was all over his poor body. Both picts are taken after we had him groomed he was so bad I did not wait to take him .

| My female is the same way. I got her at 12 weeks old (she is 19 months now) and I know she has not been abused. Sometimes it bothers me, but I have thought maybe it is cause she is small. She is not shy most of the times. She is usually out going. But she does have that skiddish to her at times. I was trying to get her to kiss me this morning before I left for work and she went under the kitchen chair. I got on my knees and crouched way down till she come to me. |

| I agree with Lil Sis. I got all teary reading this. I think dogs do remember. But like us, if they are given love they get better. Some things scar us forever, but we can adapt and learn new ways. I know this is true. I have seen remarkable changes happen with dogs. Some fears might not change, but with us they will be loved no matter what. I think with time Mikki will learn to trust you with all her heart. |

Thank you so much. We are working really hard on the trust factor. She is more trusting of me than any one else in the house. But DH has been really good and patient with her. I see her getting closer to him each day. I know that she is with me for a reason. God put us together. Rosie isn't sure why but we all know why. Lol.
