Yes, there's been progress as far as keeping peace goes. Of course I hope to see them enjoy each other. Jack is very competitive when it comes to play, getting attention, walking ahead, etc. Star is just so much more laid back. I think he irritates her.

Star is still pretty despondent. For those who know her, Nancy E. just wrote back & said that Star is having a difficult time moving ahead. Sherman was truly her soulmate, and she is still devastated.
But Nancy has glowing things to say about Jack & what a wonderful dog he is.

I'm sure that down the road, Star will take comfort in his presence here. Right now, she still views him as a big pain in the butt, lol! Or maybe not... as you can see in these pictures, they do spend time snuggled up, sort of. This nap lasted a couple hours:

Proof:

Jack keeps himself busy hanging around the kitchen (hope springs eternal), swiping toys & taking them outside or strewn all over the living room floor, catching bugs, & guarding the staircase from intruders when he sleeps across the bottom step (I'm gonna trip over him one of these days ).
He may be 2 1/2, but he's still got a lot of puppy in him! Here's his "Am I going too?" look-
