My neighbours have just picked up their new rescue chihuahua. I'm so happy that they've rescued a dog rather than got a puppy and they have waited so long for a suitable dog to come along. However, they picked her up yesterday, she's 3 and a half and has, through her whole life lived with other dogs and now she's totally on her own. Apparently she barked and cried all last night (selfishly I'm very grateful we didn't hear it!). I'm feeling so sad for the poor dog and for my poor neighbours. I advised to wrap a hot water bottle in a t-shirt for tonight but is there anything else they could do? (other than get another dog!)
