Jackson has had so much fun with his puppy "Gus"! It is cute to watch him take care of Gus, and cuddle with him, and just pet him. I have to admit it is real good for a little boy to have a dog. I think it is not only something to love, and be affectionate with, but also it is teaching Jackson how to take care of another living thing.
There is a flip side to this though. Gus is a puppy, which means he likes to play (and puppies play different than little boys, they nip and bite) . Jackson has been nipped and bit a few times, which is not fun. I get to remind him that he is glad he is nipped and bit now while Gus is a puppy, because one day soon, Gus will have his adult teeth and those would really hurt. I am praying that all the training will pay off and that this CrAzY DoG will learn that it is not o.k. to bite. I am just grateful that Travis, Jake and Jackson are all involved in this training process, because I have no idea what to do, other than yell and tell Gus "NO" almost all day.
I know there will be a time soon when this wont be an issue, but for now this is it. I am crossing my fingers that this to will pass, soon!!
