Jake

This has been a very busy past few weeks.  We found a beautiful garden complete with waterfall "Charlie's Garden" at Royal Roads University.  It is a wonderful walk and very beautiful.  We have been told to be careful about spear grass which grows in the lower part of Royal Roads.  It is important for all dog owners to make sure they check the areas they walk their dogs.  If you are new to an area sometimes you can ask your local vet or at a pet store. Spear grass is very dangerous for dogs and can cause considerable pain.

This past weekend we took Jake to the Pet Expo at Pearkes Arena. He met lots of people and really took a fancy to a fellow cocker named Mylee.  They are both very quiet and just kinda hung out. 

We would to thank everyone who came by the Angels booth and donated money to help pay for Jakes surgery.  We hope to have his surgery in the next month and every amount helps. Emma has been collecting bottle money and our neighbour works at a large facility in Bamfield and he has been collected bags of bottles and cans. Thank you Jack!

These past few weeks have been great.  Jake is looking better all the time.  We have him on fish oil and a joint supplement to help with his sore knee.  He has met lots of new friends.... including girls and has made himself quite at home.  He has now officially taken over his masters bed.  I have been busy training Jake to sit and wait for his food and lie down and stay.  We are trying to work at "roll over" but his does need work!!!

This week Jake did some exciting things. One of the things he did was he went to the groomers. He is not big on getting his nails done, but he was good other then that. Thank you to Denise at Island Pet Source for an amazing job. He looks cuter then ever. Today Jake watched it rain outside and barked at a tree. He is sometimes very skittish of every day things. He barks when a red car goes by and when I make a clicking noise. Tonight Jake is going to watch a movie with us. We love how he has made himself fit in just perfect.

This week Jake did lots of fun things. We decorated for Easter and went on lots of walks. Jake even got his teeth brushed.... He didn't care for it!Today Jake enjoyed an egg hunt and smelling our delicious ham dinner. He is now very tired and ready for bed.

Day 37

We have some exciting news..... we are going to keep Jake while he has his surgery for his floating knee cap! He is going to be here for another 2 or 3 months! We went out and bought Jake a new bed today and he seems to like it. Tonight we took him to the beach. I am very excited that Jake gets to stay longer he is a great dog. Now that things are going to be a bit more crazy here I am only going to be writing weekly updates on my blog every Sunday. Thanks for reading, stay tuned:)

Day 36

Last night Jake slept with me and Darby. He is a great cuddler. This morning we took Jake and Darby to the beach. The beach was so busy we came home. This afternoon Jake and I coloured and had a rest. Tonight we went out for dinner and when we came home Jake was lying in the living room. He usually lies in front of the door but not tonight.

Day 35

Today Jake helped clean. He helped by sitting on the rug while we were trying to move it and dropping his toy on the vacuum. This afternoon he had a 45minute sleep with me on the couch. When he sleeps with you he is like a giant cuddle bug. Today we also found out that Jake will only be with us for 3 more sleeps till he goes back to his foster home:(
