Pictures!

I have been transferring the pictures and videos that I take of Jory to my drive.  Now I'm going to see how easily I can post them to his blog here.

It might be a year before we go to a conformation show, I couldn't make the fancy one this month.  I don't know how to stack him, either.  But he is VERY good at strutting on a lead in front of me.  I do my best to make sure that he doesn't pull.  It was helped via Petsmart's "loose leash walking", but I'm terrible about keeping him from going much in front of me.  So far, this has not seemed to result in any seniority issues.  I still stop when he pulls, but I will not just turn around and walk the other way.  That doesn't seem very... teamwork-y.  We're usually on a walk for his benefit, not mine.  And if it is for me, I don't want to walk backwards!

PS He met Anna-Marie yesterday.  One fierce squirt of pee once he stopped barking/growling at the intruder and sniffed her hand.  (He was on the patio in his pool when she came in the front door, so there were several barks through the door, and a couple once I let him back inside.)  Once he decided that he liked her, he REALLY liked her.  To the point of invading her personal bubble several times in 15 minutes.  ..Unless he was pup-sterbating.  That was awkward.  We covered him with a blanket a few times.  I spoke to Poppa about it.  "Should we try to have a place for him to do that?  Or would it just be a constant uphill battle?" *shakes head no* "It wouldn't even BE a battle."  So he'll just be awkward sometimes, I suppose.

PPS He didn't bark at Julie at all when she and Don came over to make dinner.  He and I were out walking when they came in, and she called him to the kitchen.  He'd also met her once or twice before in the past.  Not sure which factor was the strongest.

PPSS He only barked a couple times when we met our neighbor with a cat outside in the common area.  There was no cat, but he liked smelling her.

Jory also tends not to bark when there is another dog: he just sniffs or whines because he wants to play.  But he DID take offense at a sinister shopping bag one night.  haha.

Well, that didn't port nearly as well as I expected.  Here is a link to his google drive folder.

You will see most all of my photos here


It would have worked OKAY if I let google sync my Android photos, but I'm sure that somehow gives them ownership of my images, like facebook does with anything you post.

Jory heartbroken after Jasmine was picked up


I was worried that maybe he was dying, it was just his emotions this time

Bro warmed right up to the puppy.
Surprised me, since he had almost hated my basset hound

Jory took a few weeks to get into "tug".  This is him wondering what Bro is doing.

Jory eventually stopped barking at Poppa whenever he saw his 6'4" body.
(There was literally a point where he was okay, Poppa changed shirts,
and Jory flipped out for another three minutes.)

Such a charmer with the keeses.

It was the first of many blankets and pillows given to the Jory Comfort cause

"Daddy, don't chew my bone!"

honk-shoo.  Yup, those are moving boxes.

Ahhh!  New patio!  I will get so muddy out here!  Excellent.

Finishing up with the cleaning details.

Le bath... so wet!
