Yep, there are problems, and yep, my life is near constant vigilance and yep, muzzles are a must and, NO, they are not pit bulls.<BR/><BR/>But when they are frolicking at the lake or all over the furniture, big dog smiles on their faces and tongues lolling, I would not trade them for the best behaved dogs in the world.<BR/><BR/>Because these are MY dogs, and they ARE the best dogs in the world -- for each other, and for me.

I too have a soft spot for the wil...AMAZING!!!!!!!! I too have a soft spot for the wild and "deemed crazy" dogs(I adopted a portuguese rabbit hunting dog myself, oh my). This yellow lab, as wild as she was, stole my heart. I found it amazing to watch her calm down in only 10 minutes into our walk.I knew that with a patient and VERY ACTIVE OWNER, this dog would be a prized pet. It looks it turned out just the way it should have for VIVI. Thank you Emily, you have done a wonderful thing in adopting this dog and giving her a home she deserves. I guarentee the changes you'll witness in her over the next 6 months will leave you amazed.<BR/><BR/>Susan<BR/><BR/>P.s I didn't get to watch tv for the first 3 months of adopting my dog as she was constantly making trouble, with obedience training she now sits and stays on her blanket when I command it...finallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-36905451844131076312008-11-28T15:42:00.000-05:002008-11-28T15:42:00.000-05:00You are a better woman than me Em.... Or you are ...You are a better woman than me Em.... Or you are just plain crazy...which I think may be the case. In all seriousness, thank you for giving her a chance. I felt so badly for her when I saw her on Fred's blog. I never thought for a minute that when we went down there to see her, you would be back two days later to get her. You have a heart of gold and are one of the kindest and most compassionate and loving people that I have ever met. I am so happy to have met you. YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
