Jersey

This is Jersey when she was a baby - only 8 weeks old


This is Jersey in front of our fireplace -all nice and warm


I thought I would introduce Jersey. She's 1 1/2 years old and is a major handful! She has more energy than any dog I have met. After 8 weeks of puppy kindergarten, 8 weeks of level 1 training and 8 weeks of level 1+ training she is about as trained as she is going to get (which, needless to say, there's still lots of room for improvement).


On Monday I took her swimming at Rocky Fork Lake and she is SO scared of swimming (if only the couch were a big swimming pool....maybe she would be too scared to get on it!) but it's awesome exercise for her and she does a good job. I think mostly she doesn't do well swimming because she has NO body fat (practically). She has a pancreatic deficiency that keeps her from absorbing food well and lost a lot of weight before we figured it out. Now she's back up to a good level, but won't ever regain her normal weight and won't ever be "fat" - if only it were contagious!
