Jesse has really relaxed in to our routine here during the past two weeks. He really enjoys being INSIDE and with his humans, but he is a gentle and patient playmate with all of the puppies as well.
One behavior Jesse needed to work on was marking. He has been wearing a belly-band while he is inside this week and it has really improved things. We will keep working with him in this one area, because he sure is a sweet boy and a nice house guest in every other way.
Jesse's surgery is scheduled for Thursday and so this week we will gearing up for his recovery.

Settling In
Jesse is starting to settle in. He is working hard this week on learning some nice house manners (no marking, please!) and feeling comfortable with all of these changes! Now that he is inside he seems to never want to go play outside. He scoots out quickly after some encouragement and then immediately wants to come back in. Sweet boy!
He is fine with cats, great with kids and puppies and other dogs. He likes men and women. And he really enjoys the indoor life!!!

Welcome Jesse James!
Jesse James finally arrived at our Foster Home tonight... his first step toward having his hip surgery and getting adopted! 5 year old Ben and I went to pick him up at the Rescue this evening and he hopped right into the car!!
On the way home we stopped at Pet Supplies Plus for a quick bath. Jesse was such a great sport. He patiently allowed a 
full scrubbing plus ear cleaning, nail trimming, brushing, & high-powered hair dryer! Such a good, sweet boy! And so pretty-- he really charmed everyone at the store!
Once we got home, he was welcomed by Jason and introduced to our resident pets, Luci, Vegas, & Jack, plus the packs of little foster puppies! He took it all in stride and wagged his rear at all of them. He doesn't appear to be especially interested in our two cats nor the guinea pigs at this point... we will keep everyone posted.
He didn't feel up to dinner tonight.. he is still a little nervous and taking it all in-- so many changes in a day! But he is lying at my feet while I type and seems very content. What a wonderful house guest!
