yes we have only had her for five weeks, which i know not very long. Thanks very much for all of your adive, and i will keep reminding myself that she has been though a lot in her sort life and that she has a lot of ajustmenst to make as well as we have. but for the few problems we have had she is a lovely dog and she follows me around the house like a shadow. i will tell the children to leave her alone when she is in her basket.
i will let you know how we are getting on in a few weeks time
thanks again it has been a help to speak to others about this.
