Some photos from dogsitting for Jackson this week. Comparing to when we dogsat him at our condo before, he’s not as afraid of the stairs, but you have to make sure they’re lit up. Dark stairs = scary. He’s still hesitant, but doesn’t have to be forced.

When Dallas slept in I took Jackson upstairs. He stayed up with me but stood by the stairs for hours and cried. He was really attached. It was cute for the first 10 minutes. Then I had to keep scolding him, because it was getting annoying.

We also learned that Jackson needs to get his water cut off at something like 8 p.m. otherwise you have to get up at 1 a.m. and take him outside. Just like a little kid! He was chugging water all the way up til bedtime. No wonder he had to go out in the wee hours.

I like Jackon’s visit, he’s fun. Makes me wonder whether we want to get a dog of our own. We’ve gone back and forth on it for years. It’s hard to say whether we enjoyed Jackson’s visit more because we knew it was short term or if we’d like a dog.. like forever.
