We call him Ludi, short for Ludwig. He loves to curl up with me when I'm laying on something big enough for the both of us.

Giselle and Ludi have really gotten used to each other quite quickly. They have enjoyed chasing one another around the back yard and when they aren't outside, they chase each other around the dining room table.

They share toys amazingly well. There are times that we haven't seen Giselle in a while. When we go to look for her, she is curled up in Ludi's crate. I'm just thoroughly amazed how well they are doing together. You really know your dogs, when it comes to matching up housemates.

We now have a new veterinarian. When we took Ludi in for his initial visit, [the vet] said that he knew you and how well you do with your Shepherds. He knew that Giselle and Ludi had the best of care before I adopted them.

I can't thank you enough for these two wonderful additions to my family. They are my four-legged children.

We changed her name from Jazz to Giselle. She is the sweetest thing to come into our lives. Our cat, Jazz, is still not sure about her as you can see in the picture. :) Giselle wants to be friends with the cat, but has too much energy and scares him away. She loves to be with us everywhere we go... She is such an attention hog.
