I need some opinions here. I still have Annie in the big (extra large) dog crate because when I had her spayed, she was vaccinated too. She’s supposed to get the booster on her feline viruses vaccine on Monday. Then I have to make my decision. Do I turn her loose outside in my garage (I’m sort of leaning that way, yet hating it too because it makes me feel like I’m as bad as the person who dumped her in the first place) or do I turn her loose in the house? Should I return her to the dog crate but leave the door to the crate open so she can leave it? Keeping her shut in the dog crate after her visit to the vet is NOT an option. Is it possible I could tame her at least a little if I kept her in the house, or am I just inviting trouble if I do that? I don’t want to go back to shutting her in one room because I saw how that worked before, with her bouncing off the walls. I love Annie even though she hates me. I want to do what is best for her. What is best for her?
