Maybe some of you wonder how Tighe is coming along. On the one hand, he is not very well behaved. He has trouble leaving other dogs alone, although Josey seems usually to succeed in putting him in his place. Stealing things from other dogs is evidently completely justifiable to him. He isn't very obedient, and has a definite mind of his own, although he is learning sit and a few other commands. Everything in the world is available to him for chewing, or so he would believe. Repetition and training may eventually bring him around. He is still a puppy, after all, and at least he seems to be well house broken. His weight is now about 24 pounds, roughly twice what he was when we brought him home. Kathie believes this may have him topping out at about 50 pounds. There is no doubt he is cute.
Kathie succeeded in getting the two dogs to play tug-of-war with each other.
Both dogs like being at the lake. Here they are suggesting that coming back inside would be welcome.
Luna, a neighbor dog, comes to see Josey occasionally. Tighe likes chasing chipmunks and exploring, but he stays close to home for the most part. He accidentally went for a swim in the lake one day, and he seems to like paddling around, but the jury is still out as to how much of a water dog he will be.

You say "on the one hand" but you never tell us what's on the other hand. I agree. He is cute. I kind of want to give him a big hug.
