Below is an email on another list I belong to from Jean Lucs AKA ajays foster mommy,,,, I couldnt help but think it was a bit of a jab at us ,, the last sentence of her email that is,,, so I replied on the list with my response,,, trust me,, its alot more polite then how I feel!!!!!! Do you think it was an appropiate answer on my part???
suzannes email....
Jean Luc is a foster dobie here with me (see files section) and he's
> been here about a month give or take... For the past week and a half
> he has been non-reactive toward other dogs on the other side of the
> fence (I have 2 fenced areas). Today he seemed to very much want to
> play with my girl Neysa and her play buddy Fonzie, so once Fonzie
> left to go home I opened the gate. With not a sound Jean-Luc and
> Neysa ran around the fenced area for about 10 minutes. Jean-Luc did
> not say a word to Neysa the entire time, was not "aggressive" in
> anyway, he just ran around with her and then totally ignored her for
> another 10 minutes to sniff around (her bum included)... Needless to

My Response...
Well thats indeed great progress.... unfrotunatly here at our house ,, we
dont have the luxury of a fenced off area let alone 2 side by side fenced
areas for our dogs and JL to get used to eachother. Perhaps he could still
have been with us if we had the facilities you had suzanne..... We are very
happy to see he is calming down at last!
