Jack is doing really GReat! He is the perfect house guest. He has never done anything inappropriate while we are gone.

Jack does have mild storm anxiety. We’ve had Jack thru a couple thunder storms now and as of last night, a July 4th celebration. There was one thunderstorm where he was a little nervous, but he was just fine when he laid under the desk. Last night was the 4th of July. The vet suggested we give him a couple Benadryl to take the edge off his nerves before the fireworks started. We did and he sat on the grass with us during the fireworks, stayed right there and was acting normal.

Jack also takes a very low dose of Phenobarbital to prevent seizures, a half a pill morning and night. We put the half pill in with his food and he eats it without a problem. The Phenobarbital pill costs 4 cents per day. He has not had a seizure since going on this medication.

The only other health issue is that he has a permanently blocked tear duct for his left eye. It is a little wet by that eye, but it doesn’t bother him, and the vet said to not worry about it.

This is a really sweet, well behaved, mellow dog. He comes when called, loves walks, going for boat or car rides.

He’s very affectionate and bonds quickly. Jack loves being petted, and leans into you and closes his eyes while you are petting him.
