07/11/18: Playing catch up here. Lilly has been back with Cindy Green for about 2 weeks now. Here’s her latest update on her:
She is a great dog that can easily become a difficult dog. She is a very interesting combination of anxious dog , strong minded and inclined to be head of the pack. She is extremely obedient and responsive to all her training yet I am seeing as she settles in how easily she will go to guarding her person or home if permitted. You have to be very clear this is not her job. Much of this requires consistent controlling of all resource such food , toys, bedding even space in front of you on and off leash. Great companion for the right people.
Dinah is a big scaredy cat. Got her out of the car and wouldn’t go in the garage or house. Took 20 min of trying to figure out if they could lead her into the home with treats. In meantime, she slipped out of the harness and he screamed and she stopped. Very scared. Went into the great room and stayed right up against the couch. Drank the water. Ate a bit. No Milkbones. Sunday morning and won’t go near the garage. Took her out the back porch and one set of stairs 6 steps, she went out in the yard about 30 yards. She went back up and inside. Back out on the deck in the afternoon spent a couple of hours. She didn’t eat or drink and this morning. She sleeps in the great room, another bed in the bedroom. Elevated feeding station and she’ll drink water but not eat. This morning she got up and explored the foyer and looked into the rooms, but will not go to the bedroom or the garage. Scared of noises. Stretched and walked around and explored a bit, followed him. Harness on and she started wagging.
May 2018: Sue Taylor interviewed Kori and said they were nice, but was concerned about the small child. Sue sent Kori an email talking about the dangers of an Airedale with a 2y-o child and has never heard back from Kori.
Moving her to Neutral.
04/25/18: Email from Caroline:
Ladies- new development- completely unexpected;
An airedale breeder here in NC has asked my help and take in one of his retired female dogs. She is done showing and he wants her to have a nice home. I am excited, but nervous at the same time, she has never lived in a home and is very skittish. The gentleman contacted me this past weekend, and yesterday my husband went and picked her up. We promised to give it a trial of two weeks to see how she does with the kids, cats and our mutt Catfish. (she’s never been around kids or cats). I’m thinking maybe we hold off on me possibly adopting a dog until we see how this works out? Let me know your thoughts!
I’m happy to help in any other ways I can so let me know what I can do!Caroline
07/08/18: Sent email to Val-Jean.
Val-Jean’s mother, Marilyn Carter, returned my call: 330-212-1386.
I called Marilyn and she said when the woman home visited and brought her dog, the girls were afraid of him because he’s so big! I told her that Maggie is even bigger than him. And didn’t they have an Airedale previously? Yes, but they got it as a puppy and it grew up with them and now the girls 5 and 7, are afraid that an Airedale will knock them down. She apologized for taking so long to tell me.Why didn’t Val-Jean tell me?
06/29 through 07/07/18: Darcie has been up and down all week, experiencing a lot of pain and whining and pacing around. She’s been to the vet on Sunday, the 1st, again on Tues, the 3rd and despite extra pain meds and a muscle relaxer, she continued in pain. Sue Mioduser called me this morning and was on her way to the vet. I agreed that it was time. She was euthanized.

06/28/18: Diana Gentile and her parents have been visiting Kara at Foothills Vet Clinic and she loves them.
This week, Diana and her friend, who trains dogs informally, went together to the clinic and walked Chloe and Kara together and they did fine. Diana took Kara home last night. They were out walking, her dad with Kara and Diana with Chloe and they saw a woman with two small poodles. Kara started barking furiously then attacked Chloe AND DIANA!
Diana is fine, just bruised and scratched thigh, but Chloe’s ear was bitten badly. She said she lost the tip. They treated her at home overnight but took her in to the vet this morning. They dressed and bandaged the ear and put her on pain meds and antibiotics.
I paid for that with ARG’s CC. Have not rec’d invoice.
