Hi everyone, Jesse here! I wanted to write and let you all know that life here in NJ suits me very well. Foster mom says that I am just delicious-not sure what that means, but she smiles when she tells me and gives me treats so I think it's good. I've had a few more of those darned porcupine quills come out of my face, but I have no more swelling or pain and foster mom thinks (hopes) that they are all gone now. I'll let foster mom finish this update while I go and play with the toys now. She says she has some cute little stories to tell about me. Ciao! See you all again soon. (P.S. I love it here, but I know my furever home is out there so get that application in so we can start our new life together.) Oh, one more thing. Although I am very tolerant of the other dogs here, as long as they are in their crates or on the other side of a fence, I would really prefer to be the queen of my very own castle and not have to share my new family with any furry friends. Thanks again for reading!.........................................................................................................................................................................Jesse has done very well since coming to stay in NJ. She is just a charming little girl who wants nothing more than to be with her humans and romp and play. She has some very endearing qualities. She wakes up every morning, comes out of the crate and high-tails it to the back door to go outside-when ya gotta go, ya gotta go lol So she takes care of urinating-when she first came, she would race right past me back into the house (I am always standing at the door watching if not down the stairs with her). So, I learned to close the door so that she couldn't do that and I would simply say, as she ran up the stairs, "Jess, go poop!!" and she would do just that lol Well now, I no longer have to say a word BUT Jesse still comes a'runnin' up those stairs, touches my foot with her nose and runs back down and poops. It is just soooooo darned comical to watch her do it, every single time lol.........Jess would do just fine with some older children, say over 13 or 14. She seems to like kids, but she is a very strong little girl and would just be too much for younger ones......... Jess definitely needs a family that will be dedicated to keeping her safe. She would love to take off and run and run. With supervision and enough attention and exercise, she hasn't attempted to do that here and I am certain that in the right family with all those things in place, she will do just fine-but supervision will be the key to her success......... Jess is living with 5 other dogs and foster mom does some dog-sitting, so there are dogs in and out all the time. She is fine with that, but she is not out and about or mixing in with those dogs. She is extremely tolerant of them all and makes no attempt to growl at them or to lunge or start a scuffle, but it is evident that she would do best as an only dog where she could bask in all the attention she would get.......... We love Jesse and we will miss her when she finds her family, but we are hoping that those very special people come along very soon for her. She really deserves a perfect ending to her story.
