Jax Chills

We have had Fireworks this month and Jax doesnt like it, the daft bit a big bang he doesnt bother but some smaller ones he goes mad and try's to crawl home. The problem being that its not just 5th November but a week either side and he remembers if he heard a bang and doesnt want to go that way again. It takes a few weeks without any for a dog to get over it. Above he like chilling in the garden mostly lying on the plants.

Here he is with the duck one of his favourite toys which he like to kill over and over again.

Here he thinks he is king of the castle on top of stones in the park.

My seat get off it

As we go to the Queens Park Crewe most days Jax has taken up residence in his own seat and he sits there  proud as punch watching the ducks and squirrels. He is very good with all the wildlife and will just watch them most of the time. He sometimes has a little bounce at them if the run away. He has now worked out that at traffic lights he waits at the kerb but he has worked out now if it beeps then its time to cross clever little sod. His new trick is the local cafe/butchers he lay outside the open door the other day as he smelt food and the man came out  and gave him a sausage as he wouldnt move till he did. He now try this trick every time he sees the door is open.  

Whose a clever Boy then?

Jax is now 17 months old and has put on a bit of weight they are supposed to fatten out from now to 2 years. We gave him a chew the other day and he ran outside and dropped it in his water bowl cam in and had a rest then went out to get it. He has worked out for himself that putting it in water softens it. He worked out to bark to be let out and bark to come back in. If we dont let him in then hes worked out to come around to the living room window jump up at the window and bark if we dont here him at the back door.

He get crafty as well to get him in from the garden at night as he likes to sleep out side until bed time we give him a treat for coming in. He then trys to run out once hes eaten it so he can have another one for coming in the second time.

Jax Stupid positions

Jax get in the most stupid positions at times when its time for a walk he dives on the settee up side down

He then hangs off the end and often falls off in the excitement

Jumping on the back so he can look out of the window is another trick of his if you happen to be on the chair at the time he doesnt care

Its then playing hide and seek I see you as he trys to paw you

Jax eats a lot

Jax has had a mad half hour eating this week some weeks he may not eat very much then another he doesnt want to stop. The weather ha been a bit cooler this week which will account for it when its hot he doesnt want to eat. He is fattening out slowly no  he is 16 months and they do tend to change about now and then again at 2 years. He is generally a lot more laid back  now than he was he still howls when the Police or Ambulance goes past with the siren on

Jax lays on the grass

When he is out Jax loves laying on grass so we made a little lawn for him at home that was a few weeks ago and he has not been near it. Today he decided he likes it and lay on it for the first time. He is now 16 months old and has changed over the last few weeks getting much calmer he can still be an idiot puppy at times but generally he is much more chilled out. He walk well and doesnt pull on the lead as a rule and walks with a  loose lead even if he walks in front. He does if he get in front turn his ears back to listen to you. We are trying to get him out of the habit of lying down when he meets another dog as a pup it was ok as its shows submissive posterior but a few Staffies think it great to then attack him and it also frightens some dogs as he often jumps up very quick. So we are trying to make him sit quietly.
