What? Its day 4 already?

What we got to day 4 with Custer already? how on earth did that happen, and it has gone so fast.  Well, actually with the sleep deprevation it has pretty much all rolled into one Custer experience.

Not that much to say today - which can only be a good thing, right?  I think the boys are both still pretty tired from their big day yesterday.  It was also another long night, Custer didn't do too badly really, aside from being a guard dog so he went totally nuts at 4am when some drunks went loudly passed the house.  Then, Jaja had a poorly tum, so we were up at 5.30am and 7am with him. Custer was good and slept mostly on his own bed though, probably would have had a quieter night if Jaja hadnt been so unsettled.  Lets hope so as 'himself' is back to work tomorrow after the bank holiday so its a 6.30am start to the day, could really use some sleep for that one.

Custer's walkies went fairly well today, this morning with his new Daddy he only sat down 3 times - we have now concluded he has not been walked on a lead before, as is showing typical puppy behavoir with the sitting down and not liking the collar, halti or anything over his head.
I took him for the later walkies, he did superb.. I noticed he was getting a bit aggitated so we stopped for a cuddle and that helped.  All went well until 'little miss idiot brain' and her collie came from the park on a long line, saw me asking Custer to sit, wait and be good but still proceeded to let the dog run toward us, so Custer went nuts of course, I then had to wrestle him back, thanks for that 'Miss idiot brain' next time maybe think, and 'give a dog some space' - maybe have a read of this website, 
http://www.yellowdoguk.co.uk/ and learn that NOT all dogs want another in their face, they may well be new rescue dogs that the owner is TRYING to train.  Luckily, after that we settled back to the route home - I did have a relaxed lead aside from the incident time, so things 'were' getting much better.

Custer and Jaja did have a long relax on the sofa together today, the growls and teeth from Jaja are getting a lot less. although another incident earlier when Custer thought barking loudly at Jaja would be a great idea did not end so well, I did have to intervene with that one, most of the time I try not too.  Poor young pup has an awful lot to learn.

Yes, that ungainly sight above is part of the Lurcher, just to show he was on his back on the sofa so not the pose of a stressed dog is it?  Poor Custer just wants to be his friend.

Just the three of us tomorrow, see how we get on.  Feel awful as I do have to leave Custer in the crate first thing while I walk Jaja and Bailey.  But we have left him for a couple of short periods to test him, and he has been fine so far.  The neighbours are good too, as we have warned them, and they are fine - which is always a good thing.
