First Public Outings

  Jackson has made his first public debuts!  He's been to the vet, then two fun outings. A week ago, he made his first trip to Casanel Winery where he was a big hit with all De Souza's, of course!  (actually, everybody he encountered) It was his first experience with a leash and collar, but after just a couple of minutes, he acted like it was no big deal and walked like an experienced pup!  Our club had a private wine tasting and spent the afternoon enjoying wine, and relaxing with our dogs.  Jackson acted as if he's been to club events many a time.  He enjoyed meeting people and the other dogs.  He pestered poor Dylan for a bit, but Dylan, being the good sport he is, tolerated it for as long as he could, then just slipped away from Jackson.
  The other day, we took Jackson along for dinner at Lowry's Crab Shack.  Again, he was perfectly behaved, had a great time and got lots of attention.  Other than trying to play with stray crab part and a cigarette butt, he was content to play with his toys and watch the activity around him.  One person thought he was a huskie puppy (?????) but everyone thought he was beautiful.  We do, too!
  Here he is at Casanel:
