4/12/08: We're calling this big boy Jules. Jules is a handsome blue brushcoat with a wonderful personality. He loves to run, run, run in the yard. He also loves Lexie. Jules is crate trained, vaccinated and on heartworm preventive. He will be neutered and have his eyes fixed on 4/26/08, and will be ready to go to a new home soon after that. Jules is blowing his coat and will be drop dead gorgeous when he's finished doing that!

7/20/08: Jules is doing great. He's such a happy boy, but he would be happier if he had his new home. Many of his playmates have found homes already and he's wondering why no one has picked him. Jules is 2-3 years old, very well behaved, but he does love to play. He has a bad habit of jumping up on you, but I'm sure when he gets into his new home, he'll learn not to do that real quickly. He's very smart, you know. Jules loves the ladies, but we're not sure about the boys yet.

9/28/08: Brenna was so taken with Jules that she cried. It was very sweet. Jules was so affectionate to her that I knew it was a good fit. He liked Todd, too, which is really good because all the Unicoi County boys were afraid of men. Jules will have a wonderful new life with Brenna. He will be able to go to work with her and will have play time in the park and walks on the beach. What a life! Thanks, Brenna, for giving this boy the second chance he so desperately deserves.

9/29/08: Hi Cindy,
Thank you so much for the pictures! I'll send you some, but it will be a while until I finish the roll and have them developed. Jules was incredibly good for the ride home. For the first 20 minutes sitting under his mouth was like sitting under a waterfall! After that, he made a little nest for himself and settled in. He's a great little traveler! He ate all day, at every stop, during the ride, probably even in his sleep.

Upon getting into Charleston, we stopped by Todd's house to run in the back yard and meet the other dogs (Molly the Hound X and Dudley the Basset hound). Jules checked them out cautiously but before no time was eating and playing with them. We got back on the road and went to my house (now Jules' house). He made himself quickly at home prancing everywhere and hiding bones all over the place! Bed time was no problem at all. Jules wasn't quite sure what to do with his new dog bed, so he slept next to it! He's such a smart little guy, I'm sure he'll learn in no time.

As of today, Jules is a working man. He's been making everybody at the clinic smile with his lifting of the paw and his adorable little face. Today he weighed in at 45lbs and his eyes have been given a clean bill of health. Ears are still to come - good thing he is such a good patient!

So far Jules is such a wonderful guy to have around, and this is only his 2nd day! I can only imagine who he'll be when he gets settled in a bit more, and I can't wait to find out.

Thank you so much for everything that you have done for Jules, without you and Galen I wouldn't have the joy of him in my life. I will keep you updated with his exciting new life with pictures to come. Again, thank you! Brenna Moffitt

10/14/08: Hi Cindy,

Wk 2 - Jules is doing great. We have gotten his ear infection under control and now he only seems to growl at the UPS man :) He had his first trip to PetSmart and he picked out his very own pink polka-dot octopus that he carries around everywhere with him, that is when he's not carrying my shoes, a bathmat, or the runner in the hallway!

He is also doing well with other dogs, males and females. Hasn't met one yet that he doesn't like. No more arm chewing either! And let me tell you, he does the best 'sit' ever! Still working on leash training.

Hope all is well with you!
-Todd, Brenna, and Jules

11/18/08: Hi cindy, sorry it's been a while since i've given you an update on Jules and I apologize for this being a quick one at that. Jules is doing great and boy does he love to run in the yard! He has also become quite the social little guy, both with other dogs and people! He has recently discovered squeaky toys and has two favorites, one is a pink octopus that he picked out himself at petsmart and the other is a little squeaky bird that he'll carry around with him wherever he goes. This little man is certainly helping to give a good name to Shar-Pei everywhere! We love him soooooo much! Brenna

This is one handsome boy!

5/6/09: Hi Cindy, just a quick note to say hi as it's been quite a while! Jules survived the holidays and is now enjoying the spring weather as he just loves to be outside. I think he staged a protest for leaving him indoors too long yesterday (see picture)! He is such a playful, happy and healthy little guy. Hope all is well with you. brenna

Oops!

3/6/2010: Hi Cindy, hope all is well with you. Jules is doing great and still obsessed with squirrels as usual! Brenna and Todd
