Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful emails about my story of Jack being with the NY State K-9 troopers for the next 2 weeks at the NY State Fair. I must have gotten 50 emails from you guys! You wanted an update, so here is the update. Trooper Jeff just called. Although Jeff's had Jack for 2 days, today was opening day at the Fair, and Jack's first real 'show'. Well, Trooper Jeff said that Jack really doesn't do anything much on the agility equipment, but went on to say that 'he doesn't have to'. He said Jack is the 'hit' of the show and while the folks like seeing the big K-9 german shepherd dogs, they really want to see 'the puppy'. He said everyone keeps asking 'where is the puppy?" "Where is the puppy!" Evidently, Jack is a real showman, and loves the kids and having all of this attention. He said Jack is very well behaved. Today, as Trooper Jeff was leaving the fair, he said he was walking through the 'horticultural' building, with big K-9 german shepherd dog in one hand, and little 3 month old Jack in the other hand, walking side by side. All of a sudden a group of adults, not even kids, but adults screamed 'there's Jack'................not there's big german shepherd K-9 dog or trooper with police dogs, but 'there's Jack'. Guess that says how the presentation is going so far! Trooper Jack said this is the best program they've ever had. Too bad that Jack will be all grown up this time next year and won't be the cute, dark, 3 month old german shepherd puppy with his ears up, that he is now. Life is too short and our dogs grow up too fast. See you all later, and oh, I'm going to the Fair on Sunday to see Jack myself! I'll let you know what I think of his performance!
