Update 5/17/06:
Hi Ann,
You are not being a pain. Jewel is doing great!! She had her first visit
to the vet and did real well. She has improved tremendously on the leash
. With a lot of work but it was worth it. She is really improved with
her approach to men. She also has been meeting a lot of the neighbors.
As long as it isn't in our yard she does great. She is shepard through
and through. She is very protective of Jessica and our home. Which is
fine because it was one of the reasons we wanted her. Milo and Jewel
have really bonded with one another. They play together for hours on
end. It keeps Jess and I very entertained. You can't help but laugh when
you see how they are together. It is very amusing. We couldn't be
happier with how things are going. She did have some swelling on her
neck but that was taken care of with another round of antibiotics. We
will try to get pictures soon . We are waiting for our new memory card
for the camera to arrive. The other is non-functional. It is amazing
how quickly Jewel has adapted and accepted her new environment. She
receives plenty of love in her current surroundings. She is figuring
out her new role with in her new pack. She is excitable when we arrive
home from work. However we solved this by letting the animals out of
their crates and then outside one at a time . It has relieved jealousy
between the dogs over getting attention from whomever is letting them
out. Jewel is a very excitable dog but, calms quickly with firm
direction and of course lots of love. Which she just soaks up.
When calm she is very kind and loving. She now has plenty of her own
toys and a dog bed to lay on during the evening hours. There have been
a few growing pains as she determines her role and place with in our
family, but nothing we can't handle. We both would like to thank you for
this tremendous opportunity. We hope you can come and visit her
sometime. We are both convinced she would love to see you. So if you are
ever free for dinner please let us know and maybe we can get something
planned. Look for pictures soon. Jewel sends her love.

Hi Ann,
Jewel is doing
great. She and Milo are getting along wonderfully. As well as the
cats. We have gone for several walks and she is doing much better on
the leash. She is a good listener and quick learner. She has met both
our parents and did very well. She is getting over her fear of men but
still needs a little work. She eats like a horse now!! She is well
adjusted to her new daily routine and goes in her cage with out
incident. She is now familiar with her surroundings and thriving. It is
almost as though she has always been with us. She really seems to like
her new home!!! We will get some pictures as soon as we can! Any time
you would
like to come and visit you are always welcome, I am sure she would love
to see you. Hope to hear from you soon.
Kevin and Jessica
