Jenny was well received by all. Since she was quite overweight, I regulated her food to the amount she should get if she were her ideal weight and started walking her twice a day around the neighborhood. The pounds started melting away!
One of the first people I wanted her to meet was Karen who owns a wonderful springer named Duke. The most unbelievable thing happened - she told me that she had actually seen Jenny too and was considering adopting her! See? Jenny was going to be in my life no matter what! Of course Jenny and Duke are fiancee's (they don't know they're neutered.). I'll add a picture of them soon.
Jenny likes everyone she meets and had such a great temperament that I started thinking about getting her involved in some kind of therapy dog work. She continued talking about everything and to everyone she met. She especially loved children.
Some time ago I had considered training Mini to be a therapy dog, even though I didn't know what that might involve, but she was a dog with many problems herself. Sweet as she was, she would never be a therapy dog.
Jenny, however, seemed like a perfect candidate.
