I was going to wait until January to show this picture because I picked Jackjack up from the SPCA in Largo, FL four years this January but I can't wait. Now is a good of time as any to tell you part of our story. :) He was a beautiful sweet boy who was too excited outside and SUPER skinny when he came into my life. I saw him and just knew all he needed was LOVE and I had plenty of that for him. We've spent a lot of time with trainers and working on getting him to calm down. When I got him he had CRAZY eyes as I called it when he was outside. He would shut down and couldn't focus on anything. In the almost four years I've had him he's changed leaps and bounds. Getting Abby was a great addition but took them a while to figure out how to relate.
Here he is in our old apartment in Jan of 05. He was only 65 lbs.
Here he is on his couch this past week Sept 07. He's filled out at 85 lbs. He's the first dog that I was completely responsible for and for a long time it was just me and him. We've added Special K and Abigail to our pair and now we are four. We are happy to have a bigger family but Jackjack will always be my first pup love.
I had to add a picture of Abigail because it's only fair. :) This is relax time at our house. Notice Special K's legs on the couch.
Hope everyone is doing great!! Happy Dogs on Thursday.

What a sweet story! :) Lola & Teutul are our rescues (Lola from local humane society, Tut from TN) and Zeus was a "rescue" of sorts - our friends had the liter of pups and he was returned from his first owner of just 1 day...
ReplyDeleteI love dogs. You are so blessed. We had to have our little smokey put down 2 years ago--he was 16 1/2 years old. He gave us lots of pleasure and love. Sure do miss him As we travel a lot we have opted to not have another animal in our lives at this point. Animal lovers are special people.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful story! I love it when dogs who need good owners find them in such loving homes.
ReplyDeleteJack Jack is so lucky to have you guys! and Abby is very adorable this week too!
Oh wow! I can't believe ho wmuch JackJack looks like Abner in that one picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he found such a wonderful loving family!
There is something so special about our straybabies. Neat story and sweet pups.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what some love will do.
ReplyDeleteHe and Starsky would really hit it off.
What lucky pups to have found you. What a great story about your family. I enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a happy ending! Your dogs are adorable. My kids have made me show them the swimming video about a million times!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job you did! He is gorgeous; so sleek you could put on your lipstick in his reflection! Congratulations and thank goodness you were there for Jack.
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful! I definitely wouldn't have been able to resist him, even with crazy eyes.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. I think your dogs have found the perfect home, they look so relaxed and happy. I'm a real doggy person not that we have a dog any longer. I sometimes look after my niece's dalmation which I really enjoy.
