[QUOTE="totoro, post: 251825, member: 3155"] We *thought* a dog would be great for K. We looked into therapy dogs, our Woman's Correctional Facility where we had lived started their training. But N was terrified of all things animal like or big like. We had cats and they were both wonderful with cats, K especially. So we started N getting to know dogs. We were told by a specialist to get N and K a puppy so they would all be *trained* together. So we worked with N for about a year. She lost her fear of dogs! So we got our puppy! Well N was great and it actually ended up being a great dog for her anxieties and sensory issues. K, well that was a nightmare. It seemed to trigger something in her. She was great with horses and the cats. But the dog, she choked it, kicked it, grabbed it's muzzle and screamed at it. We ended up after much therapy and lots of tears... having to save the poor pups heart and soul, gave it up. K has attacked other dogs since then. We continue to work on this with her. My thought is I would do the volunteer and spend as much time with others dogs as possible first. K was so good and still is with our cats. But the dog, I just don't know? She still wants another, and has no idea that that was why we got rid of Clemey. I just could not and would not let an animal live in a house with that kind of stress, it wasn't fair to her. [/QUOTE]
