Say "Hello" to Sharon... she became a member of the family on 3 May 09 (That's day 123 in Project 2K9-speak).Ok, so here we are at the end of Day 135. The day itself was fairly uneventful. I spent most of my time at home making sure the Beagle and German Shepherd Dog didn't kill each other fighting over chew toys and such. Sharon is much bigger than Ozzy, but the difference in size is no deterrent to Ozzy trying to establish is Alpha status. Sharon generally defers, but sometimes will stand her ground and get the better of Ozzy.
Sharon does not like going for walks. She walks with me mostly out of fear that I am getting too far from her. She has been improving on the leash, but she runs whenever she sees me come out of my kitchen with it in my hand. Ozzy, however, starts going nuts with anticipation when sees the leash. The skittishness on the part of Sharon does cause me some concern about her social development. German Shepherds can be dangerous as adults if not properly socialized. Tomorrow she's making her 2nd trip to Bill Archer Park as we work on her socialization. Ozzy - well, he's just going to have fun no matter what.
Other than my dogs, I really don't have much more to say about today. Tomorrow I get to pressure wash my driveway (oh yay :-/) and maybe cut into the ceiling about my refrigerator (double yay :-/) so it has the potential to be a long Saturday. The weather forecaster's are calling for rain tomorrow, which I hope at least waits until after we get back from the park with the dogs.
As promised, here is a picture of Sharon taken a couple of days after we brought her home. I haven't really taken any pictures since then and right now she's asleep. To all my faithful and not-so-faithful readers I bid you goodnight.
