Sally down--down--doown--DOWN!
Posted to: News & Entertainment

Extreme Seperation Anxiety
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I have had Sphinx, a one year old Pit Bull-mix, since December '05... I got him as a stray and am pretty certain that he was abused before I rescued him (or should I say, we rescued each other) because he was extremely nervous around men and would cower whenever anyone made any sudden movements....
