Our little pitbull rescue/stray. We've had her for 6 weeks now. Apparently she was overbred which stunted her growth. She was 30lbs but is now 42. The vet thinks she's is about 2 years old. We lost our fantastic mutt of 15 years in December and I really wasn't ready for another dog. She has been an absolute joy though. House trained, smart, obedient and she loves attention and cuddles. The one downfall is she hates cages and has terrible separation anxiety, probably due to the way she was treated. I've already received my fair share of stupid comments from people that just don't understand the breed. The neighbors all had little comments when we got her and she completely turned their opinion around in just a few weeks. It's funny to see their out of control labs and retrievers drag their owners for walks when my dog won't leave my side on a walk or run, comes when called, rides in my convertible and goes to work with me 3 days a week. She's even learned how to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes 4-5 times a week.

We once had 3 rescues, a beagle, mix breed and cocker. The cocker was the last one standing and once she was solo, she had horrible separation anxiety. Would have to cage her to keep her from trying to eat the door frame of the house, and when caged, we would come home to bloodshot eyes and a really sad dog. Getting Bailey, above, was the answer to it and she was fine as long as she had another dog. Once Bonnie was gone though, Bailey enjoyed being in a one dog family.

Maybe yours needs a companion?

It may be a solution... but one that has to get past the wife. Interestingly, The dog seems to be okay outside the cage for an hour or two on her own. I just don't want to come home to a destroyed house after working all day. She destroys anything that is left in the cage.
