Second lot of vaccinations

Finally, the day has come for the second round of vaccinations. Now it's another week until Jesse can be taken out and about on his own four feet. He can't wait as he keeps trying to get out of the carrier, and I can't wait because it is a pain to keep carrying him around and he is also getting quite heavy; which doesn't do my back much good either.

Jesse is very active now, playing loads with Flash. Dylan tries to join in sometimes as well, but he is way too rough... for now. Once Jesse is a few weeks older, then he will be able to handle Dylan's playing style.

Troy is pretty happy with him now too. Jesse often climbs all over him and Troy doesn't react at all. If Jesse tries to clim over his face though, Troy just give a very low grumble and Jesse backs off. Jesse has in general learnt now that a (serious) growl means to back off, pronto! So it is much easier for us now knowing that he will back off when he gets a warning from the other dogs.

Jesse and Flash play really well together. Very rarely now do we have to interfer... this happens mostly when they start running as Flash then starts grabbing him and attempts to shake. Jesse doesn't seem to mind too much, but we stop it immediately as this is obviously not acceptable. That's the reason why we will not let them play unsupervised at all... though they play very nicely 90% of the time, sometimes they still need "guidance"...
