Our handsome boy is doing good. He is like a big pup who will never
grow up :).
We built him a fenced yard, his own, about 1 acre big, so he runs and
plays with the rest of the pack. Unfortunately, he still likes
to roam and after consulting a few dog trainers and doing what we
could, he still would love to go and explore.
We think he has a strong prey drive, he kills frogs if they jump in
front of him and I am trying hard to correct this. But as you
know, some dogs will never stop. He even killed a baby bird
which fell out of the tree :(. I have one more appointment with
him with another dog trainer, but like he said it is very unlikely to
make him stop.
We are not giving up. All neighbors know him and like him, so at
least he is not in any danger from them. Otherwise he is fine,
sleeps in bed with me, and he is a good boy. Loves his food and
ha, ha, will not go to the pond to swim. This is the only thing
that he is not happy about - water!! Maybe in time he will
decide that is fun, but I will not force him, he will make up his
mind.
I have so many pictures of him in my fb albums. I donated many
pictures of my dogs for fundraiser for two rescues. Maybe ppl
will buy them and we will be able to help more dogs. I still
help my friend with her rescue and we got a girl Panda (older dog) and
she has been placed in an amazing, loving home.
Helping dogs gives me a lot of satisfaction, I only wish that people
would stop breeding. So many of them needing homes :(.

Update June '20
It
is funny how I was thinking recently about Jedi’s previous life in
shelters. He is with me 9 years I think? Nov or Oct 2011? Something
like that. Well this boy is nothing but special and stubborn hahahaha.
We are on 45 acres and Jedi finally after so many years can be roaming
free and not leaving property. Guess he took a while to realize he is
home for good :) He was and is nothing but amazing boy always and I
will never understand why he was in a shelter so long. P.S. Jedi’s
favorite thing is to look for frogs actually I believe he was one in
his previous life.
