Turning a Corner

LJ turned 11 months this past Friday and I can honestly say I’ve noticed a real difference in his demeanor over the past few weeks.  (It might just be from the heat.  Like Jordan, he can’t stand it.)  He seems to have calmed down significantly and I don’t get the sense he’s that terribly upset anymore or gets separation anxiety when I leave him for periods of time. 

He’s getting very interested in “Jordan’s Pool” and he’s taken to getting down on the first step and immersing his entire head to cool himself off.  I get the biggest kick out of watching his antics around the pool.  He wants to get in all the way SO BAD but I sense he won’t do so until the first time I go in with him.  (Probably this week with these soaring temperatures.)

LJ has also fallen head over heels for his trips to the local dog park.  He has a wonderful disposition and has no patience for aggressive dogs.  When he encounters one, he just turns and heads in another direction.  Unfortunately, by the time 9A rolls around during the week, it’s already too hot outside to take him to the park so he’s going to have to be content playing in our back yard/pool area.

He really is a good little boy and he causes absolutely no trouble at work.
