Life with your Jackabee

This has to be one of my favorite photos, of all time... This is when Benny was around 2-3 months old I believe... Giving my Mom kisses...

We all know that puppies are cute and everything, but a lot of people get there puppy because of there cutness... Puppies are hard work, and I must say I am lucky that potty training Benny was not that bad... It took a few months, but with a lot of hard work and patience we eventually got through it...

I also have 2 other older dogs, Sox who is 10 and Natasha who is 7... And I must say they accepted Benny in to the family pretty well... Benny is not my Moms dog or my step Dads dog he is my puppy, and it is my respondabitly to take care of him... Even though my Mom gives me a lot of down time, I get a lot alone time with out Benny... My Mom and step Dad watch Benny for me when I am away at my Grandmothers who lives up the street from us..

Benny only knows a few tricks, sit stay and come, it was easy for him to learn that... Because I was outside most of the time with him, Benny learned it in a few short days... Benny sleeps with me in my bed he is pretty good... I think Benny understands what I am saying, because Benny used to jump off the bed in the middle of the night and would wake me up... And one night last week I taught him that he is not allowed to jump off the bed in the middle of the night, because I knew he did not need to use the bathroom... So I knew right away that I had to use my motherly like side to him, and teach him not to jump down off the bed...

Now, he usually wakes up and then he comes closer to me and lays down.... Benny sometimes wakes up and comes to me and starts kissing me..... And I give him a toy for him to play with on my bed while I a keep a close eye on him.... Benny loves to jump on people and loves bark at people, he runs up and down our back yard barking non stop... And I need to change that....
