Saturday April 7th
We had a
quiet Saturday, went for a walk, played for hours in the backyard and then Paul
& I had my mom’s family dinner. Left
Jazmyn behind & crated for the evening.
Definitely not as eventful as Friday, but it was still a good day and
she was well behaved.
Sunday April 8th
Jazmyn had
another big day yesterday! We met up
with my sister, her fiancé, my mom & stepdad and Paisley for another play
session at the field. This time we
didn’t try as hard to engage Jazmyn as they were approaching to see how
she would behave. She saw them approaching & the tail began
wagging and she ran up to say hellos & the chase game began right
away. She looked really happy to see
Paisley and they were off. Not a single
bark.
They romped
around for a bit as we said hello to my family and we called the dogs
back. We used the chuck-it again for far
tosses and the same as the day before, Paisley chased the ball and Jazmyn
chased Paisley. It was a very good play
session! It was nice to see Jazmyn more
relaxed and confident, although she needs to stop herding tails as it’s going
to get her in trouble! The 2 pups got
tuckered out and were laying down in the grass within 5 feet of each
other. A huge success and a glimpse at
what our summer in the backyard by the pool could be like. Many more play sessions & walks to come
and it’s exciting to be able to have the pups together.
She had an
excellent recall all day, and even helps bring Paisley back when they go too
far. Jazmyn hears “COME” and knows it’s
serious as we don’t use it often. When she’d come charging back, Paisley would
follow. Although once, Jazmyn came on her own and sat nicely beside us while
Pais was still running off in the distance.
I was extremely proud of my pup, even if I couldn’t show it.
Sad note: We left Jazmyn’s brand new Easter present
behind at the park L
My In-Laws got her a Kong Frisbee, and we were having such a good time, that we
picked up the soccer ball but left the Frisbee in the grass. Paul went back to get it but it was gone (2 weimaraners came in just as we were leaving, so they probably found it)
Jazmyn
crashed and then it was time for Easter Dinner at our house. Wasn’t a big event this year, but Paul’s
sister, her hubby and our 2 year-old niece came over. Jazmyn and Abby (my niece) have been
separated for the last while as my brother-in-law feared Jazmyn was too
rambunctious and that Abby would get hurt.
That rule no longer stands as he finally saw (he’d never really paid
attention before) how much work we were putting into Jazmyn. Her recall is excellent and she listens well
to commands. Sure she gets exited, but
she’s 5 months old! We of course kept
Jazmyn on a leash around Abby, but she was a doll. Jazmyn came out in the yard off-leash while
Abby was swimming in the hot tub. She
didn’t bark, etc, but was very curious about the “little person” LOL. Abby was VERY excited to see Jazmyn, she
loves her. Abby threw balls for her, and
after coming out of the tub, wanted to give Jazmyn treats. We leashed up Jazmyn, and she laid down and patiently
waited for Abby to drop treats. She was
a very good girl, and we were glad that our in-laws could see her change in
behaviour. She still jumps up on the
adults, but a firm “off” puts her back on her bum lol. She did nip Abby’s sweater once, but nothing
more (She’s teething so heavily – 5 teeth lost in a week).
Needless to
say, but 8:30pm the pup was pooped and was asking to go to bed LOL She’ll sit
outside the bedroom door and whine to get in (her crate is in there). She walked on it and plopped herself down.
