facts about jax

It was already a week ago today that we drove about an hour and twenty minutes to go meet Jax. We were about 95% sure that we would be bringing him home that same night, so we had his collar, leash, and crate along for the ride (and several toys and bags of dog food waiting for him at home)!

He has adjusted so well thus far. He’s definitely a happy boy!

He is a fantastic running partner. I’ve taken him as far as 4.5 miles so far and he handles it like a pro! Usually, he isn’t even interested in other dogs, squirrels, birds, or people. He runs by my side. I love seeing him tired out after his exercise!IMG_20130524_131056 He has mostly stopped jumping on people, and he knows to stay out of the kitchen when we’re cooking. He also knows he’s not allowed in Kaya’s room. He even goes in his crate immediately when we ask. Such a good boy!IMG_20130523_215122

He generally follows me around anywhere I go. When I sit on the floor, he climbs in my lap to be petted. I think it’s safe to say that we are already pals 🙂IMG_20130528_155656Everyone always asks, “So how is he with Kaya?” They definitely like each other…  a lot! He kisses her (maybe too much sometimes) and she giggles. She crawls toward him, and he is patient when she grabs onto him. The only struggle they have is learning which toys belong to whom!
