Let's Go Jasper

I've been busy preparing Jasper and his things so we can go off to the venue where we can do the agility training with other dogs and their owners.

It's fun because it is a new activity for me and Jasper plus we get to socialize with dogs, not only with our own breed. Pretty cool!

Not much grooming needed or lots of tools and kits to take as compared to being off for a dog show competition. That's a plus point.

Also, this type of training is good for a dog with lots of energy that needs re-directing. Jasper seems to fit that description.

So, let's go Jasper. Have to grab your crate, and off we go!

Begging Dog

After his daily bath, Joaqui has his gaze following me as I climb up the stairs. He wants to play ball upstairs.

He is a copy-cat or should I say, a copy-dog. He does a great imitation of "Puss-in-Boots", with those large, round, begging eyes.

Pleassse!

One-Eyed Pose

His brows cover one of his big round eyes as he looks at me with whatever message he is sending.

Possibly just asking me to play with him.

Oh Joaqui!

Cool Day for a Walk

Joaqui and I were about to go for our morning walk when I felt a sudden gush of cool air. I needed something to warm me up, so I hooked up Joaqui to the car for a while and I ran inside the house for a light jacket.

I was confident Joaqui would be a behaved dog while I leave him for a while. True enough, he was not moving much when I came back to resume our plan of strolling in the neighborhood on that cool, fine day.

Daily Chore

Jasper, after his daily bath . . .

I place him under the stairs and he stays there until he is able to snooze off. He takes his nap for about 30 minutes. If I don't place him there, he would be playing roughly with Joaqui, so I keep them apart for a while until I finish my chores.

Jasper has to take his daily walk in the morning and in the evening or else he gets bored. He is not fond of toys. He looks forward to his regular exercise, in the form of walking.

Come on jasper, time for your walk . . .

Life With A Dog

I cherish my mornings spent with Joaqui.

We usually walk around the area, about 3 rounds daily in the morning and another set in the evening.

Our morning walk is done before breakfast and the evening walk, after dinner. Kinda healthy routine for both of us.

I try to have him exposed with other animals like birds, cats and other dogs during the walk. It is also good to have him experience walking on grass plus be near the pool. He has not tried a splash into the waters yet, be it a pool or on the beach, though he'snot really afraid of the water.

For me, life is cool with a dog.

Eyes

The eyes are parts of the body that we use for non-verbal communication. As I look at my pet's eyes, am trying to decipher what he wants to convey.



Possibly . . .
"Here we go again, photo shoots, hmmmm. Okay, okay, if that what makes you happy. Go!"
