Beautiful Bonded Buddies

How adorable and bonded are Captain Jackpot and Eleos (the Greek goddess of mercy and compassion)? Captain Jackpot and Eleos where found as strays in Florida and although no one came and claimed them, they have a wonderful new home with Jane and Leslie and living in MA. 

Jane and Leslie tell us that they are doing great! They are settled in and enjoying life. Leash walking is a challenge but they are working on it. They have a large backyard (fenced in) and they love running around and playing back there everyday. They have lots of energy. Their vet thinks Captain Jackpot is probably almost 2 years old and Eleos about a year and a half.  So they both  have a bit of "puppy" left in them. But they are a lot of fun and are learning some new commands like "wait" (before charging out the door to go out) and "get your baby" (so they have something in their mouths rather than their hands) and "leave it" (to keep them away from things that they should not touch)!  Jackpot should have learned that one about a month ago as he quietly absconded with a half of ear of corn from the kitchen counter on a Sunday night which resulted in a trip to the emergency vet. It all turned out fine, but it has caused them to be extra vigilant about things in his reach. Captain Jackpot is a tall boy and it does not take much effort for him to grab things which would normally be in a high place.

As you can see from the pictures they are sill extremely attached to one another.  They sleep on the same bed, even though there are many scattered around the house, and some of the rooms have multiple beds.  But they choose to lay on one together, always.  If one pup is outside or if they are separated at all they will cry and carry on until they are reunited. They expect this will change over time as they become more comfortable and confident. They have had bonded pairs in the past and know this is normal behavior.

Jane and Leslie tell us that Captain Jackpot and Eleos are a wonderful addition to their family and they are so happy that they are there! They appreciate all SGRR does!
