Pennington Flash

First snowfall of 2016 and first for Jonesy

Out for his 6am toilet.



Me and Jonesy down at Pennington Flash.

Jonesy update.

Jonesy had his final injection on 30th December and so we took him on the Weltaf walk around Delamere Forest on Sunday 3rd Jan. He was described as the star of the show walking a good distance in the pouring rain. Since then he's had daily walks and although we intended to keep him to a 15 - 20 minute limit we consulted with Leslie, the breeder, who recommended longer if he doesn't tire. On average i'd say he's getting 40 minutes and after that he returns home to tear around the garden!
Grooming is coming on well and he allows me to comb him in most parts on a daily basis. His weight continues to steadily increase with an average weight gain of  a lb a week. He looks well and  sleeps on average about 10 hours a night uninterrupted. Walking on a lead is also very good for a dog of his age.
The only negative is the bites and nips he gives us, when we respond to these and try to divert him or ignore him he becomes even more 'nasty' with the bites. I suppose we have to  wait until he gets a little older and settles down out of the puppy stage.

Its coming on christmas....

As we all got told "You'll grow into it "

Always prepared to wear anything like the rest of us.

Jonesy looking contented.

Despite having a luxury pad under the stairs and two comfortable beds, Jonesy is always looking for other places to relax. Here he finds the bottom shelf of the bookcase his preferred option.

When Issy met Jonesy!

Jonesy had only met grown ups...and lots of them. We wanted him to meet some children, but not just any child. He had to meet a child who was responsible and almost grown up. Someone who knew how to play with a young puppy. Lots of children asked could they be the first to see and play with Jonesy but we knew that there was only one child who knew how to manage Jonesy and that was Issy. She came over to play with Jonesy and these are the photographs that we took.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These videos are of Jonesy as he arrives home for the first time. He immediately run in the house and went straight to his bedroom under the stairs. For convenience sakes I used the dashcam from the car so the quality isn't great.
