hello in need,
Sorry to hear about all your pain.
I imagine you know this but the more homes a dog has, the earlier a dog is when they die. The trauma of switching homes literally takes years off their lives.
When people (who know anything about dogs) meet my dog, they always tell me she is just like me--overly intense, highly strung and highly-reactive. Sometimes I feel guilty that she has picked up my mentally ill vibes. Anyway I love her, and your right, what that woman Susan did was terrible.
Your dog sounds like he really needs you. Poor little guy shaking violently when you're gone.
When I was a kid, my friend's family went on holidays and boarded their dog at a kennel. Well within 5 days the dog died from, what the vet called, a broken heart.
good luck In Need, Janice
did you ever think of doing volunteer work with animals
