We Got a Dog

This is Jack. This is the picture that accompanied the online post about our new little doggy. I loved that his tail is blurry--he truly is the happiest little dog.

Here are the kids on the drive home from getting Jack...


Didn't take long for Jack & Trevor to become buddies...

We take Jack to the dog park, which he LOVES. He just runs and runs and runs!

I won't lie, after losing Sadie suddenly last Christmas and then seeing "Marley and Me" (which nearly scarred me for life) I was NOT open to the discussion of getting another dog. Wounds still too tender. But then when our cars were broken into, I was open to the possibility.

And here he is!

And you know how parents will use a child's full name when they're naughty? Trevor just uses his full breed. "Jack Russell Terrier!"

And for those of you who knew our previous "escape artist" doggies (Dave especially), Jack will run out into the backyard unleashed, do his business, and run back in. It is a beautiful thing!

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, JACK!
