Good news! Jay spent a very peaceful first night, or rather, I did. I’m presuming he was fine because he didn’t whine at our door or wander up and down stairs all night. Good dog!! I do wonder if he is more relaxed because Jerry was spaced out a few feet away from him.
Jay is very quick to learn and eager to please and readily settled on his bed while we had breakfast today, albeit secured to the leg of the sofa just in case. This may not sound very important, but our dogs have always been expected to settle on their beds while we eat, so we need to make sure he understands and co-operates.
I took Jerry to Church with me (I was singing in the worship team which was on today) and, at the end decided on impulse to pop Jerry back in the car and bring Jay out for a few minutes. People were very sensible and didn’t overwhelm him and, I must say, he behaved very well, nut jumping up at anyone. I did notice, however, that he was very interested in crumbs on the floor, so this is something I will need to monitor.
Jay is settling very well, and I think we will both be ready for our first training tomorrow, hopefully in the dry!
One or two people have told me that they find it hard to distinguish which of the two Js is which – can you tell which is which in the attached picture?
We did try to get one to hold a toy but they weren’t having any of it!
I’m intending to have a quiet time for the rest of the day, though I may arrange for someone to pop in so that I can see how Jay responds to visitors.
