ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Well after watching her all day, there is one thing very apparent, whoever had her was not the kindest sort of person. If your voice goes over a certain level (including calling for someone in the other end of the house) she tucks her tail and cowers in a corner. Not a good sign at all. Do you know somebody who could check her to see if she's got a chip in her neck without handing her over to the authorities? Yes, our vet will. Thing is that under Texas law, animal abuse is a felony, and since dogs react and exhibit the same basic signs of being abused, a dogs behavior is an accepted way to determine animal cruelty and abuse. (I am sure some dickless wonder on this board that likes to tell everyone how wrong they are will post to tell me this is wrong.) So, if she has a chip and the owner is found, and the vet agrees with my determination (considering I do volunteer work with ASPCA locally and he is the local ASPCA go to vet) the charges will be filed and the animal will remain in my custody. Of course, right now, my truck is in the shop (the one the state says is legal for road use) so I am without wheels. Now as for the morning update. Last night she slept with me on my bed, and rested very well as long as my hand was on her (I move my hand, she woke up and started nudging me) She did not eat this morning, although she wolfed down her food last night at feeding time. We have had no accidents, she goes out with the rest of the dogs (having two people in the house with chronic insomnia means some one is always up to take them out 24/7) I have not taken her for a long walk, since she cowers and tucks her tail as soon as you put a leash on her. She will not, even outside, bark. I am serious, the other dogs bark at the drop of a hat and she will not bark with them. After every dog in the house attempting to get her to play, I finally managed that last night, I got her running, wagging her tail and playing until my knee buckled and then she stopped. This morning she played a little bit with the other dogs, and again even though they were barking, she would not.
