| I think Jake is getting a little more "assertive" as he's feeling more comfortable here. Once yesterday and once this morning, he nipped me when I was watching TV and decided not to pet him when he wanted me to, and just ignored him. I would give into his demand sometimes, but I also want to teach him that he gets petted when "I" want to. Most of the time he's okay with it, but twice in the last two days, he nipped me when I wouldn't pet him. Last night the fireworks started in the neighborhood, but Jake's not afraid of the firework sound. He listened for a few seconds when it first started, but he's okay with it. |

| Jake has picked up some "bad habits" from Sam. Jake has jumped on me and on Sam's mom about four times. Also, when we were in the car, Jake has learned to put his head between the front seats, on the center console. But as long as he doesn't bother the driver, I think the head thing is okay. In the picture are Samson and Jake with Sam�s mom. | ||||||||||

| Tuesday, July 5, 2005 Jake hasn't pooped in the last 24 hours. Sam went home yesterday afternoon. In the picture are Sam and Jake near Sam�s bed at his house. |

| After we left Petco, the sun had gone down, so it wasn't so hot anymore. I decided to take Jake a walk around campus. He was excited (so many trees, so little time). | ||||||||||

| Wednesday, July 6, 2005 By the way, Jake mounted Sam three times when they were playing. Yesterday afternoon we went to Petco to get some more doggie biscuits and to meet Karlene, the obedience class instructor. She had six dogs in her class now, so she was only able to pet Jake for about 60 seconds before returning to her class. She said she is planning to have a CGC class in a month. So if Jake's not adopted by then, we could attend that class. At Petco, Jake was very interested in sniffing one of the dogs there, but otherwise he ignored all the other dogs. Some people came over to pet him, and he just sat down and let them pet him. I think he enjoyed it. There were three screaming kids (ages between 4 and 7) near the door as we were at the cash register. Jake ignored them also. |
