I'm not sure what her ailment is, maybe arthritis or something. She's been slowing down a little the past few months, sometimes not wanting to go on her walks, but I didn't think much of it. She's always been very healthy otherwise. From what I understand, she's rarely been sick or had any kind of injury or sickness or anything her whole life.

Apparently she used to be a sweet puppy too, but even when she was young, she grew into a mean dog. I think it's from my fiance's brother tormenting her and mistreating her. They have a new puppy, and he's not the kindest to her either, and a couple times I've busted him and corrected his disciplinary means and treatment of the new puppy. Mostly, he allows her (the new puppy) to bite because he thinks it's funny or cute. I have had to tell him to not allow that behavior at all, from day One. I've had to coach many of the members of the family on how to handle and treat the puppy to curb any misbehavior that will get ugly when she gets older. I'll have to keep working with them on it.
