Oh Jackers, My Jackers

Jack, looking pitiful on Daddy's chest.

So some of you may know that we started dog training lessons with Jack this week. In his mind, his life is now over, and in many ways, the life that he knew before is! From the moment we put his training collar on, he was Mr. Submissive and has stayed that way thus far. However, this whole world of rules seems to be a bit stressful for Jack, as he had 2 major seizures yesterday. We know his seizures are generally brought on by stress, so we backed off with the training a bit last night and today. Poor guy has to go from having a ton of freedom to having very little, but hey, that's life, Jack. Get used to it!

Our little guy exhausted on his bed after his first day of training.

I just couldn't handle that dog adding drama to our lives anymore--from the barking, to the jumping, to thinking visitors are actually here to see him. Yeah right, Jack. So here is our little tribute to our furry friend and the life he used to lead. ;) Don't worry, Buddy. We still love you!

How we exercise Jack in the winter...Gabby too. Just kidding. (This was their last hurrah before training began. Notice how she is holding her leash just like Cesar Milan taught her to.)
