Bonded Black Beauties!

These 2 black beauties are Justine and Jaxson, who are making their forever home with Gwen and Bart and living in CT.

Gwen tells us that Jaxson and Justine are such a blessing! They are really settling in well as they all learn more about each other.  It is just fascinating.  Jaxson had separation anxiety issues at first, but he is a lot better now! Justine has warmed up to them also. They are both affectionate and Jax is such a snuggle bug.  And he knows how to give you "the look" when he has to go out!

Bart walks Jax two times a day for longer walks and takes the two of them on shorter walks.  They often meet their dog friend Lola. Justine likes to stop and admire the scenery along the way.  They love to run around in their fenced in yard and greet the neighborhood.  They would stay out there all day if they let them. If Jax goes out and Jussie is not ready, he will come to get her - so cute. The yard is where they really expend their extra energy. Justine can really take off and run!   Justine is quite the digger too! It is interesting to see them forage, especially Justine and Gwen thinks that is how they survived in Alabama.  J & J do a lot of wrestling play fighting and Justine instigates quite a bit. They are really good about retreating when they get too rough. Jussie wants to wrestle a lot more than Jax and they have "conversations" over it!  She calls to him and he answers her. Gwen says that it is the cutest thing.  Just as their foster Anita noticed, Jax and Jussie also love to de-stuff toys and chew them and to tear cardboard and paper.  

Justine is the bigger and the better eater by far.  They get them "pup cups" from Walnut Beach Creamery with plain yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and topped with a dog biscuit. Jussie eats hers and then finishes Jaxson's.

Gwen and Bart have learned that Jaxson does not like wheels and Jussie is afraid of them.  They bark at skateboarders and bicyclists. When a friend who has MS, and is in a wheelchair, came to visit it took soft talk and a few treats for them to warm up.  Both are also amazingly intuitive when someone is upset.  Justine, who is shy, went right up to Gwen's friend and nuzzled her, like she knew she was sad that she recently lost her cat.

Jaxson and Justine's foster family is planning to come for a visit soon and Jaxson and Justine will also be starting training this month.  They were having a hard time getting a trainer due to the pandemic. 

Bart and Gwen are just thrilled that Jaxson and Justine are part of their family! They are just a delight from wake to sleep!

Happy life to Jaxson and Justine!
