Even though it has only been a few days since Jack arrived, it seems like weeks. He needs A LOT of attention. He is a good dog, well trained and loving, but he also has many fears that really cause me to stop and think about what kind of life he lead before. One thing that is strange is he is afraid of the garage. When I open the door from the house to the garage he cowers and shakes. Then he will crawl on his belly when I encourage him to come out. Weird! Also, when I open the car door he wants to bolt. It takes a lot of sweet talking and reassuring to get him in the car. Once in though, he is fairly happy.
We have a glass front door off our family room and when the sun shines just right there are reflections in the glass. Well, you guessed it, Jack sees his reflection and barks up a storm!!! This morning I started to figure it out. Whenever I took a sip of coffee he would go crazy at the front door. Hmmm.....then I realized that my movements were also reflecting and causing the ruckus.
Shadows after dark cause poor Jack to jump and run - especially his own. It is sad to think of him out foraging on his own at night.... he must of been one scared pup!!! Sometimes I wonder where these stray dogs sleep at night. Do they keep roaming all night or do they curl up somewhere? No wonder they are always on guard. It is just plain sad......
The the thing that is difficult for me is that Jack wants to be next to me all the time. And I mean ALL the time. It can start to wear on a person. The closer to me the better. Yesterday, he pushed open the bathroom door when I was in the shower and since the shower doesn't have a door on it he decided to join me! Sometimes a girl needs some privacy!
It is also difficult to leave him home alone so I have not been going anywhere.
Will there be anyone interested in meeting Jack on Super Bowl Sunday? This remains to be seen. Will he be friendly if someone comes to meet him? Stay tuned........
