Changing names and toy progress

Breaking news is that James is now Oddjob. His KC name is Wagsnort Skyfall and all the litter had James Bond themes. He was orignally called Skye which our experience is a very popular Border Collie name hence the change to James.

It very quickly became apparent that James wasn't quite him either. Tim mentioned Oddjob and he totally fits the bill - chinese and well build so James is now Oddjob and it so suits him.

He has taken to parading round the garden and barking because the nearby GSD is. His bark is lovely and deep but has no resounence. It is a behaviour that we will discourage eventually but is very amusing and shows what a strong character he is.

His crate games and getting in a box are progressing well and his play has come on in leaps and bounds. He carries a toy around, strutting about looking at the collies proudly.

I want to record his progress but find I am too engrossed in playing that I have forgotten to take a photo or film any of it.

Here's a quick shot of him tugging and another of him retreiving. If we are less absorbed I'll get Mark to film some tomorrow

  1. He is gorgeous - love his snuffly noises. Never though a pug could be so enchanting :)

  2. Thanks Linda - yes he certainly has something special. I think he would have shone in the breed ring but glad his breeder thought he was a little too tall :)
