We need another dog like a hole in the head, we'll advertise for her owners... but I've got a feeling we've been adopted by this dog... for now she's getting along fine with the JRT's, Gracie only attacked her a couple of times and she groveled and showed the appropriate respect to the older established bitch in the house... so Gracie is ok with her now and I am too :-).
