<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>First off, thank you for everyone who has
sent in words of encouragement and drool for him. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Noah came home last evening and after about an
hour, was introduced to every one. I had everyone in crates
before I came home, well all but 4. The 4 out were the ones who would be
the easiest for him to meet first, and they were behind the baby gate when we
first came inside. SO he met everyone nice and slow. It worked out
well for everyone. He hates his cone, and I think he is not the brightest
in the pack. He runs into a door jam with the cone and stands there till I
come rescue him...you might think he would back up, or turn a
little, but no. Thought it was that he was dopey on drugs, but
he was doing it today too. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>He is really doing well, and is such a NICE
hound. HE is the same size as my Jacob, who just went to the
bridge, and I am wondering if J sent this big boy to me. The not
bright part is just like J, and he is almost the sesame weight as J was,
feet just as big, Noah is just as long, and I think he might just like
sleeping next to me tonight. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have to tell you, I have had several
different hounds sleeping with me and for one reason or another, they never stay
all night. I think J is kicking them out of bed, waiting for Noah to
sleep in his spot. Guess we will see if Noah stays or not
tonight! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Most importantly, Noah is really doing
remarkable. These dogs, well, I would be down for a week or
so, if it were me. </FONT></DIV>
