(Excited doesn’t nearly begin to describe how I feel about writing this post!)
We finally got a PUPPY! And isn’t he cute? (this is where I’m about to overload you with photos. But really, can you have too many puppy pictures?)
I’ve been dreaming about the day we’d get a dog ever since we got married. In a way, I still can’t believe he’s ours!
He’s even smarter than he is cute (if you can believe that)! I hope we can put all those brains to good use with some tricks and maybe even an agility or flyball class.
He’s an 8-month-old Border Collie mix, which was exactly the breed I wanted. The dog my family adopted when I was in high school (Socks!) is part Border Collie, and I’ve always loved his vast amount of energy for playing and running. We’ve already gone on one run together, and I think he’s going to be an excellent partner. His name at his foster home was “Jax”. I searched through a bunch of dog names online, but nothing really seemed more suitable. He likes to jump on people (we’re working on it), so I think it’s even more fun to say “Jumping Jax!” He already knows “sit”, “down”, “kiss” and of course “no!”. He loves frisbee and tug-of-war, but he is afraid of going up stairs. If you get on the floor with him, he tries to cuddle with you!So there he is… the perfect dog! 🙂
