Junebug's baby Jingo, now Tadhg

UPDATE FROM ADOPTERS:
Tadhg (formerly Jingo) is well over 80 pounds at 9 months old. He has just a great disposition. He loves to play tug, and really, really loves to play with other dogs. We have a bulldog next door, and a labradoodle down the street who are especially good buddies. He also still digs and chews outside, but is pretty well over that inside. He does "bury" his chew toys under the couch, and then barks at them until somebody comes and fishes them out for him.

Eileen is his best buddy, and he just dotes on her when she's around him. He will let her hold him as long as she wants to, where with me or anybody else he gets antsy after a while and want us to let go.

He is doing well at puppy school, but we have to be careful during the week, because if anyone says "puppy school" he runs to the garage door and starts scratching at it to get to the car and go to puppy school.

He loves carrots and broccoli and apples, which expands our treat options quite a bit.

Thanks again for rescuing him for us!

Some dogs have all the fun (names)!

Jingo, son of Junebug, now Tadhg.

UPDATE FROM ARVSS:
This is Jingo--one of Junebug's babies :) I forgot how to pronounce his new name, Tadhg--it's Celtic (or Irish).

UPDATE FROM FAMILY:
Tadhg is settling in. He will walk pretty well on the leash, although sometimes he inisists on holding the leash in his mouth for a while.

He sits on command pretty well, but still has a problem with jumping and nipping at peoples clothing. At least everyone but me. For some reason he minds his manners around Dad, most of the time. We are starting some "puppy school" on Wednesday, so we hope to get some tips to keep him under control and happy.

He has met a number of the dogs in our neighborhood. Until we started walking him, we had no idea how many their were. From a little Pekinese two doors down, to the full grown Malamute at the end of the next block. He annoyed the malamute with all his energy, but nothing bad happened, just a bark and he was scared off
