Brie came to us from the Sacramento County shelter with a fractured front leg. It was assumed that she may have been hit by a car, but the surgeon who repaired the fracture thought is more likely from being dropped, stepped on or maybe jumping from a high place). We got the leg fixed (and tried our best to keep her calm and confined during his recovery - an impossible task for a terrier). She should be as good as new, but as with any fracture, arthritis will develop over time.
She is very friendly, dog that demands lots of attention from her humans. Her dog-on-dog skills are rather poor, but we are working on that. All of her dog issues happen when we introduce new dogs into her area, she is initially pretty aggressive in an overly-stimulated way. Stern correction leads to her settling down and then interacting with the new dogs in an appropriate manner, and even eventually playing, if the other dog is game. Once the initial introduction is complete, there have been no issues with those other dogs, so far.
Should she be the only dog or go with another dog(s)? She has lots of energy and wants lots of attention. Having another dog that she can eventually bond with, might take the pressure off of her human family to provide her with all the attention she craves, especially if she is to be left alone during the day.
