If she likes to run from one to the other, why not get a frisbee and
let her chase that back and forth to each other, she'll get
competitive to grab it first.

Yes, my other rescue dog never liked toys or knew what to do with them, she
would chase a ball but then just look at it and never return it etc., this
rescue dog loves toys and I swear she thinks all shopping trips should have
a new one since she gets excited when I'm unbagging them. She definitely has
her favorites at any one time and if I try to change to another one during
play, she won't have any part of it.

Your woman abuse is as grotesque, unprovoked, and ugly as anything

You are a pathological woman-hater and a deeply disturbed and wounded

That wasn't your original argument. Your argument was that you

explain why the proposed solution won't work.

So WTF are you basing your unfounded theories on? Angela was about 3

But that is what keep saying, 'things' hold no interest for her. The only
thing that would work with, is if I threw some food. She simply is not
competitive except for food. She usually eat her dinner in the middle of
the night in the dark. If she eats anything during the day, she is
constantly looking around her. I guess she had to fight for her food.

Animal hoarding is ghastly - they have just rescued 69 cats here off
an elderly man - vet bills estimated at $26,000 to fix them up for
adoption. Many need dental work due to poor diets etc I don't
understand why people do it, I think it has little to do with
sheltering the animals and much to do with some psychological
aberration.

I don't know how long her owner had been dead but they were all in dreadful
condition. This is her pic on the Dogs Trust site I fell in love with.

http://tinypic.com/r/ddonxz/9

Here she is after she had gained some weight and her hair had started to
grow again on her back.

http://tinypic.com/r/112dekx/9

In her chair! As you can see she has gained a little <?> weight The vet
says she needs to diet

http://tinypic.com/r/2mpn78z/9

She loves us to bits and hate all other dogs, which is understandable and
other people too. Maybe one day ...

Anyway I bought a toy today and here it is. It is very soft and cuddly. I
petted it a bit and she watched for a few minutes and then went to sleep

http://tinypic.com/r/2n1yvys/9

Will try later.

well, darn. She looks at ease when sleeping in her chair and there is
a marked difference in her body language in your kitchen as opposed to
the rescue picture. Not having to be defensive is a big deal in her
world. That's a good thing. I know you are aware of the child
development timing issues and I am sure they apply here as well. I'd
continue to try for a bit longer and maybe leave the bear tucked in
her chair. She's comfy, that's what's important.

Lol it definitely shows what good feeding can do She just looks
overall fit now. It's surprising how long they can go when an owner
dies, my last cat they reckoned had done ten days after her previous
owner died of a stroke. She likely had dry food and drank from the
toilet because cats can't go long without water, they dehydrate
quickly.

Yes, she is comfy and very affectionate - with us. Very well, I will put
the bear in her chair during the day? She has her bed for night. Should I
move it in there or just give her time with it in her chair?

I've never had a girl like her with such problems. It would be nice if she
could find comfort in that bear, although she get plenty from us whenever
she wants to)

Thanks Will report back)

Pitifully few charities of any kind do any good with cash donations
other than to heavily line the pockets of the admins. I discovered a
few local animal rescues, people who care for animals on their own
property. They don't want cash, they want animal feed and labor.

We are fortunate here, Hope would have taken them.

Over the years she has had all sorts of creatures, even a migrating
bird blown off course which she took to Florida ultimately so she
could release there where there were others of the species.

Ok we played around with it and she gave it a good sniffing so when she had
sniffed enough, I put it into her chair.

You *do* realize that a polar bear will eat a dog, right? lol
Not sure about teddy polar bears though. ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the pictures. She looks like a very nice doggie.
Interesting how her face is black and white but her eyelids are brown.

Very cute and obviously so much happier now that you've got her.

Good save, Ophelia! :-D

it

Yes, she is a tricolour Before she put on weight I was convinced she was a
cross collie/whippet. Look at those legs. They are not so obvious now but
none of my Collies have had such long legs

) She has changed a LOT in the time we have had her

We think so btw I am beginning to think you are right, about us being the
only playmates she is interested in, but I guess we shall see

Well maybe there's an equivalent 'dognip'... however both dogs and
cats are very attracted to laundry with their owners scent, I bet if
you dress that Teddy Bear with your unlaundered undies the issue will
be resolved... I bet if you use a bra you wore 2-3 days that will
work, all us Dawgs can't resist that well worn bra aroma. LOL

Not only dogs. My motgher told me she slept with a shirt of my father's after he left for WWII. I don't blame her a bit!! Comforting smell of home! And I used to snuggle with Max, my mother's dachsund! She said it made me smell like dog. And I was very aware of the dog smell. Smelled just fine to me!
