I hope ya'll don't mind some more puppy pictures of Jelly. Rainy is even warming up to him and they play in the front yard together.
And just holy cow, Australian Shepherds are just so smart. It's crazy to see how many words he's picked up in the last week. Apparently with new puppies these days, everyone is saying to not go around other dogs until a week after his last puppy shot. I remember with Blizzard, we got him and took him to start training the very next week. So he was like 9 weeks old when we started training. Jelly will be about 15 weeks old before I can take him to some sort of training school. Now, I'm doing some here at home. I remember a lot of it from Blizzard, with a clicker etc. So Jelly knows a few basic commands, like "sit." And today we were practicing loose leash walking. Which is important, because we didn't do that with Rainy and sometimes she starts power driving in 4 wheel mode (4 legged drive if you will) and she's strong.
So third time's charm, hopefully. Perhaps I can get it right with Jelly.
