"Piper (now Gabby) is doing great. I'm sending some recent pictures. She had some pretty major knee surgery last November for a dislocating knee cap injury, but she is 100% better now. She went through obedience school this summer and is doing very well with her training. She's going through a protective phase right now, I'm told it's typical for shepherd breeds, but we are working with her and she's getting much better." -Julia Busch (9/12/10)
