Great pictures. I don't mean to laugh but his poor tail 
Did you get rid of your burr problem?
Believe it or not, his tail looks better now than when I first cut out the burrs!! LOL! Most of the burrs are gone now, but I still need to get down there are clean out the rest myself or crack the whip over some blind children
Even Katie has been getting into some burdocks!
I don't think Carter will be inside enough to learn manners.
It is doubly hard to teach him anything because he doesn't hear well enough to use vocal commands and while Jesse isn't nasty about it, but he really doesn't appreciate Carter on his turf. With all Jesse has gone through recently with the loss of Piper and Josh, I hate to upset him too much. He really has been very much on edge these past months. We're playing shuffle dog until we can work something out for Katie. She's locked up tonight so Carter can have the run of the LGD pen. The yard around the house isn't small but the LGD pen is HUGE so there's a lot more turf to woof over and boy is he making sure it happens!
