Rocket is the first one he greets in the morning & the one he snuggles with at night. In between those hours he roughs up our other Border Collie Jack.

After Dragon had been with me most of last year, he and Jasper learned how to play together. Before Dragon's eye injury, there was a period of a month or two that they played once or twice every day. I have a video of it!<br />http://youtu.be/nyOxnloyu08<br />Dragon stopped playing with Jasper after his injury, but a couple of weeks ago they started playing again, and they've played about four times since then. It makes me so happy! :)<br /><br />Jasper has had some clicker training. We don't do it very often any more, so he doesn't respond to the cues all that well nowadays. However he learned how to sit, wave with his left paw, sit pretty and wave both paws, target his nose to my finger, target his nose to a "click stick", target a paw to a plastic coaster, and jump (or walk) through a hoop. I have an old training video here:<br />http://youtu.be/tN5EVQgH_x4<br />Sasha the orange cat is lying on a mat on the filing cabinet, and Ira the corgi mix is doing a down-stay while I train Jasper.<br /><br />And here's a video of me working some b-mod with Jasper:<br />http://youtu.be/D_3KAexgPjk<br /><br />Also, I have to link to videos of Jasper playing with boxes, because that's what YouTube is for:<br />http://youtu.be/aeRdrT9a_cg<br />http://youtu.be/1jEV3zKXUeYJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491779584676839564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101438868458660054.post-53517807379871293522012-02-20T07:28:56.587-06:002012-02-20T07:28:56.587-06:00So, so true.
