Sorry I haven't had much time to do anything. I miss BPO! My reply might be jumping from topic to topic. I'm trying to make sure I cover everything.
Just a little update. I'm living in a snarly, growly h*ell.

I honestly don't think
my stress level has ever been this high. So far Lola/Mia situation isn't getting much better. Lola has 'grabbed' Mia 2 more times.. by the head again and the other time by the stomach. Even with the leashes I'm just not quick enough.

Lola and Bubba were both puking yesterday too. I think the stress is affecting them also. Bubba is still hanging out on his own and he's skipping his meals still. He eats maybe 2 cups of food a day. So much for that weight we put on him.

No puking so far today though.
Then to top things off this morning, Mia has loose poop with a bit of blood and mucus in it. I think it's colitis. Which can be caused by stress, parasites or diet. I haven't switched her food yet so I know it's not that and she was dewormed last on Jan.30th, so she might need to be dewormed again. But I'm going to see if I can get her in to the vet today to get that checked.
Plus my son started puking and getting so dizzy he was falling down. Scared the crap out of me because he could even stand up. We took him to emergency and he has an inner ear infections which is the cause of the dizziness and the flu! Oh nice. He's beginning to feel better now but he's glued to the couch. Now I think he shared the flu with me since lastnight I started to feel nauseous. I want to crawl in bed and just die. LOL So there has been lots of puke in this house the past couple days.

The reason the trainer recommended re-homing Mia is because of the amount of work Lola is going to need. She is also showing signs of being fear aggressive, mainly to large men on top of being dog aggressive. Lola has been a mess since we got her, but I thought we had made pretty good progress in her 10 months. But now it seems like she is regressing since Mia got here and I'm not working with her any less.. it's actually been all day long obedience and boot camp this past week. The trainer said this is not a quick fix (which I knew going in) and it would get worse before it got better. She wasn't kidding.

I'm just worried that the bigger Mia gets, the worse the fights are going to get.
Thanks Penny for the offer. I'm still undecided but I will keep you in mind. I want to wait and see if it gets better, but at the same time I'm worried it's not going to. I've never seen a dog so aggressive with such a young puppy before and I've never seen such a young puppy so determined to not give in. Mia's breeder is an idiot.. so I won't even go there and will not take her back there.
The guy that was originally going to take her was told no dogs over 75 pounds by his landlord. So that's a no go. My SIL the one pregnant with twins wants her.. but I told her that Mia would be too much for her to handle once the babies are born. So I've posted a couple ads and I'm weeding through the 'questionable' people. I want her to go to someone that would treat her like I would treat her, not tie her out to a tree and throw food at her, or use her as a baby making machine. And so far the people interested in her I wouldn't even give a pet rock to.

I don't know how you all in rescue/adoptions deal with them.
Most of our family members are NO help either. Their exact words are "Well get rid of Lola and keep the puppy" I am NOT going to shove Lola to the curb because of Mia. Never once has that thought even crossed my mind. You all are the only ones that understand how hard this is for me to do.
