Day one complete!! What a beautiful soul Jackson is! He reminds me in some ways of my Dillon, my corgi mix that died 3 years ago. Just a gentle soul...Amber and him are best friends already! He slept on her waterbed with her all night, curled up next to her like that's where he was meant to be. I tried to get a picture, but he woke up when I came in. Darn it!! I got up an hour early today to be able to spend some time with him before I had to go to work. He curled up next to me on the couch, and rolled over for his belly rub and went to sleep. It's so nice to have a snuggle dog! Seanna has the attention span of a flea, so doesn't sit still very long.

Today was the tense day with the other dogs. This morning they weren't really sure what was going on--my guys were like "you're still here?", and he was like "where do I belong?"...just the usual pack order stuff they need to figure out, but no real aggression with each other as far as order goes. Seanna gets nippy when I'm petting him, she comes to butt in and snaps, but we've gotten that stopped I'm pretty sure. Amber took them out back tonight in the yard, and got all three of them to play together. I noticed a huge difference in the tension level when I got home--there was none!! They are all working together like they've known each other their whole life. It helps that Jackson just looks at Seanna like "what's your problem" and turns and walks away--kind of like my husband does with me when I'm not being very nice....:-)

So far so good!!

Day two:

Another great day!!  Today we went on a walk with the other dogs, which was a new adventure for Jackson.  He's not used to a leash, so we made it around one block in about 15 minutes, but by the end he was getting the hang of it, and having a good time.  We went to PetSmart then to get a chuck-it ball (which Jane said is his favorite toy), and he had a blast.  There was a moment in the store, where you could just tell a light-bulb clicked, and he knew that this was for real.  Just pure joy on his face!  When we got home, we took all the dogs for a walk again, a little easier this time because Amber was there to take Jackson--I had Seanna and Wade had Sage.  He had a great time!  Kept up well with everyone, and didn't lag at all--really needed no encouragement this time.  Seanna even stopped a couple of times and waited for him to catch up, looking back to see where he was, when he stopped to pee where she had peed.  Then they all played ball with Amber when we got home.  Right now it's nap time---posted some videos and pictures on my site of the day today.  We are all very happy!
