WOW - that HAD to of been a REAL surprise!!!!! How sweet you are to have rescued that dog!!!!!!! I am an animal lover too, we have 2 shih tzu and an african grey parrot. We've raised 3 dogs that became guiding eye dogs. And we did a bit of shih tzu rescue too. So I think what you did is wonderful!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry you're "stuck". Hate that!!!!!!!
