 I brought Jagger home from the adoption center yesterday.  He slept on a dog bed and I slept on the couch.  He tried to get up on the couch with me a couple of times, but understood the word NO. He is definitely a snuggler and will get close to you every chance he gets.  Today he crawled up on the lawn chair with me while I was sunning.  Jagger walks well on a leash.  He does not pull.  At the dog park he stayed close to me even while off the leash. He seemed disinterested around the other dogs and a bit timid. I get the feeling he has not had many opportunities to play with ‘friends’. He is very friendly with people.  He was well behaved at Pet Supermarket. We had a bath with the hose in the back yard.  I would not say Jagger liked it, but he tolerated it well.  Jagger ‘marked his territory’ in the house once in the evening yesterday and again this morning.  It has not happened again.  He has taken two bones into the back yard and I cannot find them to save my life.  Maybe this is his version of hide and seek.
