Update on Leah, our foster doodle!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

My DH and I have had Leah, our 18 month-old labradoodle foster, in our home for nearly 3 weeks, and all i can say is this -- SHE HAS COME OUT OF HER SHELLl!  For the first ten days that we had her, Leah really didn't want to play -- and that drove Knox NUTS, because PLAY is his middle name!  He would try his hardest to get her attention and she would FLAT OUT ignore him!  I just figured that some dogs like to play and some don't and that Leah was the latter.  She was perfectly content to lay around -- usually at my feet!  When she went outside, she did her business and that was it -- no playing, no chasing, NO nothing!  It was KILLING Knox! He has lived his life with an aging 13-year old Jack who hardly gave him the time of day, and now Leah was treating him the same way.  Well, much to Knox's surprise (and ours!), IT HAPPENED -- Leah started playing!  YAY!!  Knox is so happy, and quite honestly, he has met his MATCH!  It is so fun to watch them "romp" and here are some pics that I have taken:
