In the mean time I'm to try and find a dog companion. The hard part is finding one that is. 6/8 pounds, 5 years or older, ears must stand and be a Velcro type dog. Shelters cked none, Reaccuse not keen on her age but fill out an application. Theres 5 shelters in a 50 mile radius so I'll keep calling to see if the got any in.
