So, we now have 2 nights under our belts with Jax and so far all seems to be going very well.  He is still trying to figure us out and we are doing the same with him.  Should not be too difficult as we have a rather structured existence here.

Well, we've had Jax for 14 weeks now.  What a wonderful dog! It said he was good with cats which we wanted since we have 3 (also from PRBJ). He basically just ignores them. He is supposed to be 9 years old but sometimes acts like a little puppy.  He had a bad time before ending up at Judy's which left him with a severely arthritic hip and missing most of his teeth.  We took him to the vet and got an anti-imflammatory which helps a lot.  You would hardly know he has a problem.  We feed him all soft food because of his teeth.  We had a DNA test done and it came back as 100% German Shepherd going back at least 4 generations.  This would indicate he came from a breeder or most likely a puppy mill. He is such a sweetheart.  We take him on 3 to 4 walks a day which he loves.  The only problem is what we call separation anxiety.   He stays by me and is usually no more than 5 to 10 feet away.  If I leave the house he paces and cries but this is getting better.  The picture is his usual position with me.  We're so happy with him.  Thanks Judy for all the good you do.
