Enjoying Jagg

We've had Jagg now for almost two weeks and it's been a lot of fun. The kids have enjoyed the puppy for the most part and he's learned so much. We found out after we got him that he was sick...he had caught something from the kennel he grew up in. Luckily the lady who sold him to us reimbursed us for all the vet trips and medication and was helpful and concerned about her puppy. So were we. We just felt bad for the poor guy. But he's getting better now and is learning the house rules. Turns out this dog likes to be inside. He whines when he's outside and doesn't like to be out even when the kids are out there. But we're working on that. The idea was that he'd be out when they were and in when we were, so we'll see. I think he's just liking the comforts of home. He's very attached to me (since I work with him the most) and follows me everywhere.

Evan has begun to overcome his fear of dogs. We're not sure where or when he started being very afraid of dogs, but he is/was. He's especially afraid of big dogs. He once got jumped on by a big puppy that scratched his face and I guess that was pretty scarey (it would be!!). But he's learning to be confident and strong around our dog so the dog knows who's above who on the totem pole. I don't want Evan at the bottem once this dog is bigger. So it's been a good experience so far and we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll still be enjoying Jagg in the years to come. I'm sure we will, they bring so much love to the house.

And we've officially named him:

Sir Jagg von Weimaraner.

That's quite a regal name, don't you think!?!
