just wanted to let you know that over the weekend we celebrated Jade's 10th birthday and her 1 year anniversary with us.  (Her actual 1 year anniversary is today! ) I can't tell you how wonderful she is.  When she first came into our lives, she didn't recognize her name she would have accidents all the time and she was quite a loner.  In the last year she has blossomed so much.  She loves being around people and her family.  She loves to cuddle in the sun or on the sofa.  At night she lays by my bed until i fall asleep or in my daughters room until she falls asleep.  She loves to go for rides and to meet new people and new dogs, she will kiss anyone who comes near her. She no longer has any accidents and lets us know when she needs to go outside. It seems like we have always had her and we just love her so much.  I'm attaching some recent pictures of her so you can see our beautiful old lady!
