Where is the gang?

I couldn't resist the cowboy costume for a foster dog named, Jesse James. He tolerated it rather well, actually. As long as he was being petted, he was willing to wear anything.

I am getting a chance to learn more about Jesse's personality and temperament. He does seem to have some territorial guarding issues with other dogs. He will also bark at the door when someone knocks. He has not shown anything but tenderness with people, though he a bit rougher with his foster brother dogs. Actually, he is fine with the Aussie foster brother, but has issues with his golden retriever foster brother. Maybe it is an Aussie thing? I think he would probably be best in a one dog family.

Maybe because of his hip, but Jesse does not have the high energy level of most aussies. He is content to just be wherever his people are, and especially his special person (at this home his foster mother.)

He loves his crate and uses it throughout the day to rest in, and sleeps all night in it really well. He has not marked at all in our house since the very first day.

He is so sweet and loving and the one of the cuddliest dogs I have know. He has a happy wiggle for every person he meets, and he is good with kids.

We took him for a walk the other day and he walked great, but random things did bother him, like a skateboard passing,sprinklers, etc. He recovered well and followed his foster family down the road though.
