Some new pictures
I took some pictures today (29th July) at home and on our walk with Dylan (Flash was not with us as he had an agility session this afternoon and was shattered).

7 months old!
Wow, Jesse was already 7 months old yesterday! And as mentioned before, adolescence has finally hit him too!
He is still a cuddle monster and gets on great with the other three! There is the odd tense situation with toys and food now, but hey, it's all part of the deal. It is actually an important time as Flash and Jesse are battling out their hyerarchy at the moment... Dylan and Troy are keeping out of it and Jesse doesn't really challenge them! There is the occasional snap at Dylan around food and toys, but Dylan can't be bothered and just walks off. That's the way to do it!
Didn't take any pictures yesterday, but I shall take my camera with me on our walk tonight and can take some pictures then.

Adolescence!
Well, here we go; adolescence has finally caught up with our Jesse monkey!
Apart from the marking and cocking leg, his recall is suffering a little now, particularly when other dogs are around. He sometimes looks at me now and goes "Why? Can't see the point of that..." - naughty pup. He has also started chewing again - in particular my shoes... arghhh... Never mind, that'll teach me to put them away!
Oh, and he is becoming a bit food possessive... he had two stand offs with Flash last night, once when Flash had a piece of carrot (and Jesse backed off in the end) and once Jesse had the piece of carrot and Jesse stared him away... (with a bit of help from me calling Flash away from it before anything happened). He also snapped at Flash when a piece of food fell on the floor and Flash tried to pick it up... Had to tell Jesse off for that! I have no problem with the dogs defending their own treats and chews, but we do not snap and growl about just a potential treat!
So we are going to have to be fairly strict on this... He is also snatching treats at times which is also not acceptable, so he won't get any unless he sits and takes them gently!
I am fully aware that Jesse is bound to go through all these phases just like any other pup! And overall he is still no problem at all... if this is the intensitiy of adolescence we get, then it's going to be a fairly easy ride!
Here's some pictures taken last Wednesday... (three days before his grooming session):
Aren't I beautiful
Typical Jesse pose
No, mum, my teeth don't need brushing... see?

Cocking his leg
Last night, Jesse cocked his leg properly for the first time... definitely growing up now.

Jesse's grandmother
I have found a picture of Jesse's grandmothers.
Here is Khia's mum. She is called Freya, or the posh name "Afterglow Dragonfly".
Picture taken from Kementari website.
And this is Bex's mum. She is called "Saldawn Strike a Pose" and is the one in front in this picture.

The opposite sex
Jesse has started showing a keen interest in the opposite sex now... LOL. His recall is still excellent even then, but he will definitely follow the girls around now given the chance...
