J.J.

Update on JJ JJ is the best dog in the WHOLE world. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to adopt him. JJ instantly became a member of our family. It’s as if he has always been here with us. Libby, Mom’s Afghan, has adopted him as her baby. She cleans his face and even gives up her place on the couch for him. JJ and Reilly still pretty much just stare at each other, but no fights. JJ and H, the Maltese, play in the yard every morning like a couple of little kids play chase. So as for the other dogs, he’s a hit. As for me, JJ is my best friend. He goes everywhere with me. He’s my constant companion even when I sleep. When he rides in my truck, I have a harness so he does not slide around. When I work in the garage, JJ supervises to make sure the work I do is right. When I read, he lays in my lap and I read to him, even though he can’t hear. When I shower, he lays outside the tub patiently waiting. Like I said, he’s my shadow. We have been working with JJ on his crate training and his anxiety. I truly think someone might have left him in a crate for a very long time. He’s gotten so much better and I can even crate him when I go to work without him flooding the crate with drool. For this I’m thankful, because it was really nasty to clean up. I will write more in a few weeks, but wanted to give you an update and thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to be JJ’s human!
