This will be the official Xena update thread. If you are interested in her progress, visit this thread often. I will be posting all updates and pictures in this thread, so you might have to look around the pages for updates and such.
Today was day 5 I believe. I think she's going into heat soon. No, she isn't spayed. I talked to her owner tonight and she did mention that she needs to get her spayed (ya think?).
Her and Travis act like old chums. The way they act around eachother now, you'd think that they have lived together their whole lives.
Something pretty amazing (to me) happened today. Travis is usually VERY protective of his knuckle bones, food, treats, water, etc. He'll let me take food away from him and stuff but he refuses to let other dogs near his food. (Except for Katy, he knows she's the Alpha dog). Today, I very unintelligently forgot to lock his knuckle bones up in the dog run before letting them loose in the backyard. Next thing I know, Xena has picked one of the bones up and trotted off with it. I see Travis trotting up to her and think "oh great, this could be a problem". Much to my surprise, he simply sniffed her and walked away. He came back a few seconds later and stood there with his head cocked as if saying "Whatcha doin there? " He did not mind at all that she had his bone. Xena didn't growl when Travis approached her either. These two actually SHARE things with eachother. First it was the water dish, now bones. They are really amazing me. (I shouldn't be surprised, after all they are GSDs ;P )
Ok, on to the pictures. They didn't turn out great because it was pretty much dark out by the time we got to my house.
A near collision
Running
Here she is chewing on the knuckle bone (She actually ended up dropping it and trotting over to me)
Come on old lady, catch me if you can

They really do look like they enjoy each other. Yes, it looks like you and Travis have been one of the best things to ever happen to this little lady. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing all of this.
I wouldn't want her pregnant unexpectedly for you, travis_gsd27. Our veterinarian told me cats who will not be bred do better from a health standpoint if they are spayed. I wonder if that's also true of dogs? If it is, could you give Xena's owner the name of a free or low-cost clinic? I love seeing Xena and Travis! I'll be following the X-File updates, too. Good Luck! Great Work!
