[Jake] has filled out to a healthy 82 lbs!!
My other dog, Buddy, somehow managed to blow out both knees back
in May (you may remember that he only had 3 legs to begin with…..).
Since then, he had double knee repair surgery and is recuperating.
He is walking a little bit – enough to get around and do “the
basics”. Jake is anxiously awaiting our return to our daily
walks and being able to play with Buddy in the back yard. He’s
a little frustrated by all of the attention Buddy is getting, but
for the most part he has been very good and patient.

Jake is quite the dog. He LOVES
to play, and when Buddy won’t acknowledge his attempts to get
a good play session started, well, then the “trick bag” comes
out, and Jake tries EVERYTHING he can to get Bud’s attention.
Just to name a few……stealing a favorite toy and parading
it around the house, maybe even tossing it in the air as he passes
by Buddy;…. running to the door and barking as if there is
something VERY important going on just to get Buddy all wound up;…..
chasing fictitious cats & squirrels in the yard just to get Buddy’s
attention – then running back into the house while Bud is feverishly
looking for whatever varmint Jake was chasing. Oh my. You can just
kind of see the “wheels turning” while he’s planning
out his little schemes.

Jake seems to be settling
in very well. He is a sweet boy, and he is so gentle and calm. The
neighbor was petting him on our walk yesterday, and he said “He
is such a COOL dog”, and think that sums it up pretty well.

Jake was a 4-5 year old, black/tan and sable, neutered male, German Shepherd Dog. He was fostered to avoid euthanasia. This guy's amazing personality had affected everyone who had met him. He was the sweetest, best behaved gentleman you could ever ask for! He got along well with other dogs and animals. He had been very good around the kids he met, and was very calm. He enjoyed lying around the house quietly watching television, or simply snoozing.
