Stitches out and all is well

I totally forgot to update this. On Friday, 8th February, I took the stitches out and all was well. It has healed nicely and the scar can't even be seen.

From 11th to 14th February, we were at college. Dylan, Flash and Jesse came with us and they were all great. They enjoyed staying in the Travelodge (which was the first time as we had always used Arras Farmhouse up to now...). Dylan and Flash were particularly happy about seeing all the wild bunnies running around the service station when we went out for toiletting at night. It was amazing.

Dylan is still a bit unpredictable on walks. Just on Sunday, he sniffed a dog we met (whilst I was holding on to his harness without any pressure), seemed fine, then suddenly snapped without me being able to pick up on a warning... Also, Dylan seems to be just a touch too quiet and still too reactive. In fact, I have started muzzling both Dylan and Flash now when we walk at times when I expect a lot of dogs around (e.g. Sundays). This gives me piece of mind and I can study Dylan's behaviour a bit more without having to worry about him. But I don't like the fact that he is still very reactive, particularly also on lead - which isn't great fun as he sets the other two off too!

This week-end, I am having off (as Jesse is going to be neutered), so I will do some 1-2-1's with the doglets, in particular with Dylan!

If things don't improve fairly soon or if I continue to feel that something is wrong with him, I will have a full vet check up done on him... He is going to be 7 this summer, so not a youngster anymore (though you would never know when you watch him on walks or when at home playing or training) so things could start going wrong in his body...
