Ah Dianne, great minds really do think alike, LOL!!! That exactly what I suggested she do, and to keep her away from other dogs. It sounds like she has plenty of room to run on her own property. I also suggested a body/brain scan in case she has a tumor which causes her intermitent pain changing his mood. I lost a wonderful dog that way, she had a brain tumor which would cause her to get vicious when she was in pain. She had to be put down but that was in the 60's and now they have surgeries that work wonders for our pets.
