Jacob is big, bouncy, and a beautiful example of a thieving flatcoat! I havent updated my blog for AGES now, but that is only because Jacob has been so bad! Haha, not really, I'm just really lazy. Jacob is doing very well, and tomorrow he turns 17 weeks. If he was ever smaller than his brothers or sisters, you cant tell now. At puppy classes, he is almost catching Dixie up, and Dixie is a week older than Jake! So Jacob is now a big puppy, with gigantic paws he uses to hit me with when I dont feed him when he wants to be fed.
As of tomorrow, I start taking him for walks with my friend Susie from down the road. She has a black labrador called Josie, and we will walk them together on the old playing fields around the back of my house. Jacob has puppy class tomorrow as well, so he should sleep well that night!
We are having a slight problem with walks at the minute, as Jacob doesnt particually like them. In fact, he hates them. Its probably my fault, as I took him out once a day for a few weeks, if that. But I'm getting into a good habit with it, and he is doing better now.
He is also making improvements with his shadow chasing, which is good. He only did that occasionally, but some new toys and a good run around playing hide and seek has cured that. Unfortunately, the curtains suffered slightly when I hid behind them. Oooops.
I have a controlled assesment in English this week, which is going to make looking after Jacob slightly harder, with all my extra work. Also, open evenings and other school stuff means Maddy and Al have to look after Jacob a little more this week. But hey, its only for a few days, then I will save them from the mad flatcoated retriever puppy! He actually is mad, I think I can hear him growling at a puddle outside. Mad Jacob. Bye
