Buie's Happy Ending - (fka Jackson's Blakie)

It was a long day for all us yesterday, but Buie is a survivor and he faired very well. He is adapting quite well to his new environment. He is certainly bonding with Alyssa. He's checked out the house and the yard, and has decided it's an all right place. I'm glad you gave me all those papers to read, as Buie did not want to settle in the living room by himself last night when we all went to bed and turned off the lights. He cried for awhile and obviously was upset, so we brought his crate to our room and he whined a minute and then fell fast asleep and slept all night. Fortunately, one of the papers you gave me to read said that might happen. We moved his crate back to the living room during the day and he has been fine with that since we have been all on the first floor. Our bedroom is on the second floor, so he was not pleased with being by himself. He has settled down a lot today and has been on the "accepted" blanket on the couch next to Alyssa and gets as close to her as he can and she has been giving him much love by just lightly touching and talking quietly. He seems to know that everything is all right. We have fallen head over heels in love!!!! He has our hearts. He minds so well and responds to a soft "no" without any hesitation. We took some pictures of him on his bench today and will email them to you when we get a chance. Again, thank you so much for the loving care you gave Buie. He is a better boy because you cared. I'll keep you informed as to how he is doing. He is great and we don't expect that to change. Your friend,
