Top Dog!

If you were unsure which of the Js is which in the earlier picture you can tell on this one – Jerry is the one with the grey bits.

 

Every day, or half day, brings something new at present.  Today I have been reminded how reassured Jay is when he is attached to one end of his lead and I have the other.  It is much easier to get him to lie quietly when he is on the lead.

 

This evening we had a visit from Jerry’s “second family” - friends he usually happily stays with when we are away and can’t take him with us.  I am pleased to say that Jay didn’t jump all over them, he just wiggled a lot!  He then sloped off to the hallway to bite the eyes off a cuddly toy – something he has been scheming about throughout the day.  What I find interesting is that Jerry displays little concern if I pay attention to this newcomer, but when his friends visit he isn’t at all happy if Jay gets more than what Jerry considers to be his attention entitlement.  Now I know which of the dogs has the upper paw, and it isn’t Jay. 

 

All the things I have learned about Jay (and probably he about me) this weekend should stand us in good stead this week as we start our training.
