You know I can't go too long without posting something about my favorite dogie... Jack. Jack and I have become quite a pair. You could probably even say that we are two peas in a pod. Jack is so adorable in so many ways that it would take a very long list to tell you everything. Even then I would still come up short somewhere. Simply said... Jack is close to my heart. There are three areas of my life that you just don't mess with... or else! My mom...my wife and my dog. So if you ever want to find out what ..."else" is...just mess with one of those three and you 'll soon find out.


Do you realize that Jack is made up of four parts? Jack is part chow and part golden retriever but did you know he is also part weenie dog and a pointer? It's been a little over a year know when I started giving Jack jumbo size weenies for a treat. Since then, he has fallen head over hills in love with those weenies. So much that when you pet him a little, he will run over to the fridge and point. You know how dogs point don't you? No not with their paws... they just stand at attention looking at something like they are frozen in time. So now you understand how Jack is part weenie dog and part pointer.

When Jack was a little fella, Shelly took him to training school. So without a doubt he is well trained on being house broken. He'll even show you a few teeth in his old age if you try to take one his stuffed animals away. Jack is close to being fifteen years old but you wouldn't think that if you seen him prance around this house. Trust me, show him a little attention and walk towards the kitchen and you'll see just how much energy he really has. He will take off running, slipping and sliding like a wild mule trying to get to the fridge. That little rascal has gotten sneaky too. He'll act like he needs to go outside but he just goes out to check the scenery for a minute or two. Then when we let him back in he thinks it's weenie time. He is a trip now let me tell ya.

One of my favorite times is at night. Since Jack and I are two peas in a pod, he comes in the room and goes to sleep behind me while I work on the computer. Or after we have been gone for most of the day, we come home and always find him asleep under my desk. Talk about having a bosom buddy.


Take a look at this face. This is the look that I get to see every night. It's a look that I'll never get tired of seeing.
