Java and I are reunited. She looks marvelous. Java’s Auntie Kate provided a loving home for her in my absence. I am eternally grateful.
Java managed to maintain her girlish figure thanks to her new circle of admirers resisting the temptation give her “just one more treat.” Believe me, I know the will power it takes to resist those big brown eyes begging for another treat. A huge thank you goes out to all who resisted the temptation.
Although Java showed little interest in the neighbor dogs, she enjoyed her thrice daily runs in the Woods at Hughes. From what I hear Val, Steve, and Cyrus were definitely to her liking, with Steve having the lap of choice.
Thanks to everyone who made this transition and temporary separation a positive experience for Java.
