I've been working with Sakari really consistently on behavior and training, and today I got to work with Nik's mom's dog also. Jaxx is normally really, really stressed and anxious at the vet's office. She was calm and relaxed at the vet's office after I spent just a few minutes with her. Working with dogs might be in my future... Sakari went with us to the vet for moral support - Jaxx had a UTI. My dog and Jaxx were perfectly behaved. We met a long-haired Anatolian Shepherd that made Sakari look tiny! He was gorgeous, and weighed 120 pounds. I don't remember if I've mentioned it before, but Sakari is 26.5 inches tall at the shoulder, and weighs 64 pounds. She should weigh around 75. :( She's only gained three pounds in the four months that we've had her. Her coat hides how skinny she actually is, but her hipbones are too prominent, as well as her spine. At least her ribcage has a tiny bit of padding now. Slow and steady, right? The last picture is part of the very first night we spent with her.
