Foster Update 6/21/2009:
Reese as we have been calling Hard Shine is doing great.  She has had no trouble opening up to our family of three humans, 3  cats, Mini Schnauzer and mini Schnoodle.  She loves the fenced in yard and  she runs with the two little dogs, does her business and then sniffs around returning to the back door to be let back into the house.  No accidents in the house.  She seems to enjoy sleeping in her crate with or without the door open.   She has not looked at the couch because she has a comfi egg crate doggy bed in her crate.  She walks well on the leash and enjoys walking.  Not nervous only skiddish with  loud noise that would startle any of us.  She is a lovely girl.
