Sock monster

Hmmm...Jet's fascination with the washing machine has progressed now to its contents. He sits beside me whilst I load and unload the machine so that he's there to catch any stray socks that may fall from my hands when transfering clothes to/from the laundry basket. Needless to say that if I'm not fast enough he then prances off with any stray garments he gets his chops around! I thought I'd emptied the washing machine of clothes the other morning but old beady eyes spotted a lone sock stuck to the inside of the barrel - quick as a flash he'd retrieved it from inside the washing machine and nicked off with it in his mouth! It's not a wonder I struggle to find a matching pair of socks these days!!

Training class (week 4)

There was only Jet and one other puppy at training last night so we managed to get quite a lot covered - mainly going over the other things that we've learnt so far. Sue our instructor thinks we'll be moving into the next puppy group some time in January!

Me and my boy

This picture was taken during one of our lunch time adventures around the grounds at work. (Thanks again Rach for bringing your camera with you!)

Mucky pup

Here's our boy in the back garden after his first walk in the 'outside world'. Would you believe that this is the result of just a few minutes spent walking along our local footpath??! Needless to say that Jet's first walk was closely followed by his first bath!!

Training class (week 3)

I am pleased to say that last night's class went very well and I found it easier to get Jet's attention compared with last week (when playing tug of war with his lead and trying to get across the room to the other puppies was the order of the day)! The new exercise this week was sit and wait. Jet was text book perfect when he had to sit at a door and wait while it was opened until he was told he could go through. He did this first time too which is fantastic as he's the youngest in his class by at least a month. He also did some very good heel work. If James and I swell any more with pride we shall burst!

The latest in draft exclusion

Jet shows us how useful he can be around the office.

Favourite sleep positions

Although Jet tends to favour the 'on the back with legs in air' position, sometimes he likes to add the 'one leg extended' variation for good measure.
