Update: "Julie is doing very well, she's all grown up now, weighting around 60 pounds. She so healthy, playful, extremely friendly and obedient. We feel bad for her being alone at home while we work, reason we thought on getting another dog to make her company. We see how well she get along with other dogs in the park that we don't doubt we will be very happy with a buddy at home. I'm attaching some recent pictures of her." -9/12/10 Julie's new mom has happy news to report about Julie! Here's what she has to say: We just want to let you know about Julie. After all we didn't change her name. She just turned 1 yr, she's a great dog. She already graduated from beginners and intermediate classes at Petsmart. She is so intelligent, obedient, eager to please, mellow, laid back and all times playful. Everybody loves her look and we all make fun of her huge ears. We're still trying to figure out what is her mix, besides German Shepherd. My husband walks/runs with her every day around 3-4 miles. We bring her to Balboa Dog's Park every weekend. She loves it. She's very social and really good with other dogs and people, never aggressive. She barely barks, only when she feels strangers are around the house. We'd been to the beach a couple of times, and she is not really into it. She seems to hate ocean waves and the cold water. Thanks for saving Julie for us!
"He's doing great! He loves my cats- unfortunately, one of them doesn't love him very much. The other basically lets him do whatever he wants! Smokey has such an amazing personality. Everyone loves him! He is so sweet and affectionate. And so well behaved. I don't think I've heard him even bark more than once or twice." -Robin Kardon (9/12/10)
"Piper (now Gabby) is doing great. I'm sending some recent pictures. She had some pretty major knee surgery last November for a dislocating knee cap injury, but she is 100% better now. She went through obedience school this summer and is doing very well with her training. She's going through a protective phase right now, I'm told it's typical for shepherd breeds, but we are working with her and she's getting much better." -Julia Busch (9/12/10)
Update from Gaby's mom, 9/12/10: "We have moved to a new house. Gabby is so healthy and fluffy. She is our spoiled rotten princess. We had a carpenter convert an old pantry into a custom "mouse house" with granite counter tops just for her! She sleeps with the doggies and with me and is the best thing under 10lbs that has happened to this family. Oh we LOVE her. " Gaby's new mom has happy news to report about Gaby's new and happy life: Gabby Truffles is doing wonderfully and she is the boss of the pack....she truly runs the show. She actually steals the boys toys and lays on their beds and they will lay there and cry for me to make her get up. It is hilarious! We have a sock with two tennis balls inside of them that I use for physical therapy on my back and Gabby can pick up the whole sock and she carries it around and snuggles it like it is her baby. She is the most hilarious cat ever. And she is really getting well trained. Crazy cat jumped in the pool the other day and swam back out. She is an absolute nut! We got her a new kitty house that she adores and I could not imagine life before she was with us. I attached a photo just to keep you guys updated. Thank you again for our sweet sweet girl. She was the missing piece in our family and gives us so much love and fun and laughter. She could not be a more perfect cat and she matched perfectly with our family! Wish you and all of your babies the best!!
