I had to clean out the shed because she had chewed up her mattress and the flocking was all over the floor which she had peed on of course and the flies were swarming, so I swept it up. Later I brought her an old sleeping bag as she had no other bedding. She has kept us awake barking and my husband asked them to see to her one night and was told they didn't want me to go round any more. Last weekend they went away and someone came round to feed her. She's a nice dog but I wonder why they have her when they don't spend time with her? I don't know what I can do to help her now.
