With my transition back to sports (and mostly nights) after 15 months in news, Juneau is a happy dog. I am now be with her most days. Her clock is messed up, though. I usually get home around 2 a.m. Juneau greets me at the door wired for a sprint. I try to calm her so the rest of the house doesn't wake up. I take her out in the yard for a few minutes, then sit with her for an hour in the living room until she settles down. I get to bed around 3 a.m. She licks my face around 7 a.m. wanting to go out. (Master Dave is getting tired.) I take her to a playground near my house for 15 minutes, then go back to bed until 10 a.m. I then take Juneau for a hike in Middlesex Fells. The dog is doing fine. At this rate, though, I will collapse in a month.
(I will post updated pictures of Juneau within the next day or two. I'm trying to get my son Matt to take a picture of me holding Juneau, so everyone can see how much she has grown. She is about 14-months old, and yes, still terrified of Matt.)

Great article. There's a lot of good data here, though I did want to let you know something - I am running Ubuntu with the current beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of funky for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn't function so good.
I have news for you...you are not "Master" Dave. She is the Master. You are the one taking her out on her schedule, including in the middle of your "night's" sleep. She is not fetching your pipe and slippers. She has you completely wrapped around her paw. I can see why. She is lovely.
she still ls beautiful.
I'm having problems sending "comments" due to the space that is used up by the heading on your Blog.
I love Juneau's new picture. I can almost see her smiling. She is one happy puppy. You have done a fine job with her. Did you ever get her another "playmate?"
