This is what you missed in the month of December

Wow! It's been almost 4 months since I caught this guy in the woods. Here I am wrapping my arms around Jack symbolizing how I will never let him go...in my heart. It was a long 4 hours of sitting on the hard ground and missing a Packer game but oh so worth it.

Jack and I worked a lot in the month of December. He is such a great store dog. We have the best customers too. This little girl and her Mom wanted to make sure Jack had something from St. Nick so they bought him his favorite thing, a pig snout. Awe. Then a little later another customer bought him two toys. How sweet is that? Everyone loves Jack and ask about his progress.  He is really becoming such a great dog. 

Jack loves to snuggle. He wanted to be by me so bad that he jumped up and laid on top of Badger. Good thing Badger didn't mind. 

Jack is also doing great with my husband. He has even started to "mouth" him which you will see my husband correcting in the video, Jack tends to mouth or gently bite my arm or sleeve in excitement. It is something we are working on. 

I was able to switch shifts with someone and have off on Christmas Eve. I was pretty sick with a sore throat and cold but really wanted Jack to experience the dog park so I pushed myself to go. It was the best gift I got just to see his pure joy at running off leash.  Makes me wish I had a fenced in back yard. Oh, honey...

Kinsey just got herself right in between Jack and Badger. Jack didn't even growl. Good boy. What a cute couple. 

As you can see it was a busy December. Jack is doing so good. We did have one minor mishap which was my fault. I thought he would've been really tired from the dog park Christmas Eve and so I opted not to crate him.  Well, we got home to kind of a mess. Not sure if he's learned how to open doors or if the kids left the bathroom door opened that had the garbage in it (most likely scenerio) but the garbage was all over the place and stuff was knocked off our breakfast bar and a barstool was over turned. I'm thinking that Jack is not a fan of being home without humans. He gets bored and gets into trouble. Kinsey and Theo were also not crated but this has never happened with them before so... I will just have to make sure he is crated from now on. 

Well, it's snuggle time and a fire is going.  

Stay warm and thanks for thinking rescue.
