Meet Casper - Luke's new sister:

She's shy but sweet and has made remarkable progress over the past week. She was a great pal of Luke's during his stay at the Dusty Dog Ranch and needed a new home since her owners are moving. 1 1/2 year old Boxer mix - 51 lbs - she loves to wrestle with Luke and hike. She comes when called, knows all the basic commands and has quickly become bonded with us.

Leslie - she's a cutie! I'm glad for all of you. She & Luke meeting at Dusty Dog Ranch sounds like it's easier for all to settle in together. Many happy hikes and wrassling matches to Caspar and Luke! Enjoy. Cheers, Anne

Leslie,

Casper is beautiful. How nice for Luke to have canine companionship too. Hope you are enjoying them both.

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. Casper is doing very well - she has gone from totally shy & skittish to very devoted and friendly. We've introduced her to a lot of new people and situations and she is doing great! She's a great companion to Luke, but she is turning out to be quite the "alpha girl" - she'll eat Luke's food if he isn't on it, nudge him out of the way when we give them water out on the trail, try to take over his beloved front seat in the car. I can almost see him rolling his eyes when she is being pushy.

Right now he's outside "patroling" - giving the coyotes verbal warning that they better not stray onto his territory - she's gone back to bed.
